Wow – Fleming’s BBQ Shrimp was actually more fun to eat than photograph! (one of the benefits of shooting food) I knew they had a great selection of steak and wine but never thought to venture out into other parts of their menu – Maeve Pesquera at Fleming’s River Oaks is ready to provide you [...]

I was asked by a client if I had any photos of Houston’s beautiful skyline laying around. Since I didn’t I suggested they check stock photography for their needs, or hire me! Well, after a day of what I expect was unsuccessful or out of budget searching, I got the call. It’s one thing to [...]

This is the first try in this particular style of showing the sides of a person…through images.

I had the great opportunity to photograph Brooke Daniels, Miss Texas USA 2009. She was so nice! A very fun shoot – I loved hearing her story about throwing the first pitch at the Astros/Reds game. And YES she made it to the plate – from what she told me it was in the strike [...]

Hocus Pocus! These two images are actually the SAME image! This is what happens when you have to get a shot – against deadline – and someone has parked their car illegally in front of the building you need to showcase. I just wave my magic wand and voila! The car disappears!! This is Terry [...]

Discovery Green is a breath of fresh air in a concrete [...]

I am truly blessed to have a little 10 acre track half way between Houston and Austin. It offers me a serene escape from the big city and all the hustle and bustle. It is unbelievably quiet out there – so quiet you can hear the leaves landing on the earth. Deep breaths and beautiful [...]

It’s amazing. The look on a child’s face when he sees Santa. Of course, there are some that are afraid of Santa, ( I have calculated that 30% of small children are fearful of St.Nick ) but most are eager to confirm their Christmas Wishes to him in person. I love that one child needed [...]

I have friends out side of Houston tell me from time to time how much they appreciate the beauty of our downtown skyline. I had an opportunity to see a sunset from way up high – looking toward our satellite skyline – with Williams tower (Real Houstonians know it as the Transco Tower!) unmistakably centered [...]
