Katie and Bryson

bryan skeen — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 04:37:33 +0000

Katie and I have been friends since college, and so I was eager to do this shoot with her and Bryson. They live in an awesome house (that turns 100 years old this year) in San Antonio close to the art district downtown. Katie (being an artist herself) has turned the inside of their house into a gallery of original paintings and artwork, so the house stood as a great backdrop to capture the creative energy of these two.

Out and about around town, we had such a great time reconnecting, and only had one minor incident -- which included an alarm in an elevator and an emergency call -- But as you can tell, we were all made it out alive.

Legacy of Love

My grandmother had been 17 only two weeks the day she married my grandfather --just a couple of kids in my eyes. As history continued to roll on, they built their lives together, and continue to do so 63 years later.

Their love is as strong now as it was back then, and stands as a familial reminder of something everlasting.

Family History

These are my Grandparents, and they have been married over 60 years.
More to come from this shoot of a family legacy.

What Winter is Supposed to Look Like

Living in Texas, we don't see a lot of snow. In fact, today (almost 1 month into winter) it is 65 degrees outside. It is supposed to be 68 tomorrow, with 104 soon in sight. That being said, snow is a big deal to us. And although we knew it would not last forever, it was fun while it lasted.

New Year = New Office

It wasn't until after the New Year that we realized how poorly our guest bedroom furniture matched the lovely wood panelling in the back room. Our only option was to strip the room bare, and start over completely.

So with a new year and a new workspace, we are looking forward to what 2010 has to offer.

The Welch Family

When people ask why Kendi and I don't have kids yet, we will show them this photo of my nephews:

Oh the pressure of trying to have kids as beautiful and as precious as those two.

Kyla, my wife's sister, and her husband Robert needed new family pictures and we came to the rescue. The morning that we decided to shoot was much too cold and dreary but we waited around long enough for the sun to come out. We were so glad that we did. There might not be anything better than a crisp winter afternoon, fall leaves and sunshine. Add two sweet boys to that and you've got yourself a great afternoon.

Thanks for the fun afternoon! We hope you find some you love.

Molly E.

Who: Molly E.

Where: Lubbock, Texas

We met up with Molly on an early Sunday morning for her shoot. The weather was absolutely perfect -- especially for Lubbock where it could hail one minute and be warm and sunny the next. We couldn't have asked for a prettier morning or a prettier model. We hope you find some you like.

Our small but deserving tribute to Lubbock's own Buddy Holly.

The Hegener Family

A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of shooting Spence, Sara and Gracie Hegener at their family ranch in Mountain Home, TX. Not only did we get to shoot this sweet family of three, but a few deer snuck in the shoot as well. Lucky for the deer we only had our camera's to shoot with and not our guns.

Here comes the wildlife. I'm pretty sure we heard a sigh of relief when we whipped out camera and re-loaded with a memory card.
