Senior ’11: Nate | Dallas Senior Photography

For Nate, I knew I had to get creative and shoot something awesome. Seeing that I’m dating his gorgeous older sister, I just couldn’t let him down. Since I knew his favorite artist is Eminem, I wanted to shoot some shots that would be “rap poster” cool. After scouting online for several weeks I came across the perfect location, an abandoned incinerator! From the info I found online, I new it was going to have graffiti everywhere and everywhere it certainly was. Every surface of this place was covered. Despite being scared out of my mind, we got some crazy senior photos!

DBU Spring ’11 Sports Megapost

One of my duties in working for Dallas Baptist University’s Marketing Department is to cover the sporting events. I’ve always enjoyed sports, so I’m getting paid to take pictures of all the games is a dream job! I quickly found however, its not that easy to get usable, let alone good photos. With some luck and a lot of practice, these are a few of my favorites from each sport I covered this last semester.

DBU Basketball finished off the season very strong, going on to win the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Championship! The bottom picture was taken on senior day with the seniors, their family, and the rest of the team. sports DBU Spring 11 Sports Megapost

Although I never had chance to shoot Men’s Tennis, the ladies showed me just how surprisingly fun it is to shoot tennis! I love all the expressions.

Went to my first track meet ever. It was a learning experience to say the least. Note to self, find the event schedule before you drive out to it!

DBU just wouldn’t be complete without its’ baseball team! I spent the majority of the semester shooting baseball games so, I have a ton of shots. Patriot Baseball did exceptionally well this year finishing with a record of 39-17. They beat all the “big schools” such as OSU, OU, TCU, Rice, and Texas Tech and Jason Krizan set a new NCAA record for most doubles hit in a single season and in 18 less games than the previous record!

Esteban + Alithia’s Wedding | Dallas Wedding Photography

Wow, look at the time! It’s been exactly a month since my last post… Sorry everyone! I have been (I’m sure you have been too) extremely busy over the holiday season. Several thousand new photos later, looking back it was a whirlwind of family, fun, and food! Well it just so happens that your patience has been rewarded and this post from Steven and Alithia’s wedding is extra long and in my humble opinion, extra good. So get comfy and enjoy!

I love to get to know my clients, in fact I don’t even really like to call them “clients.” It sounds too formal and stuffy, I think of my “clients” as friends, because after I spend the majority of their wedding day with them, I love them like the friends we now are. Esteban and Alithia most certainly fall into this category. When we met at Starbucks for the first time, I knew that it was going to be a fantastic wedding. They were so excited and had definitely done their homework. Sure enough come wedding day, their enthusiasm was greater than ever! Esteban’s constant smile was one of the most memorable things of the day for me,  he was simply overjoyed the entire day.
