if you need to get result then call him immediately!

and conversation led to him getting in touch with Katina and then her going to Jill’s Fashion and Bridal of League City and trying on a wedding dress (We love Diana and Danielle), they have supplied us with so many dresses and never once thought twice (so everyone better go there to get all of your attire!), and Katina grabbed her dress and we just missed each other. We scheduled a blind TTD session for the next day . Meeting Katina was really cool since she was up for whatever I was about to put her through. We started of in the gym and she worked out for a bit and then we headed over to Julie and Bill’s house. Talk about cool!!!Harley Davidson is the standard there (sorry if we hurt anyones feelings but their Harley’s flat out ROCK! We were not only amazed by the pool but the shooting areas available in someone’s backyard. So in the pool we went (yes, I love water!), and then around the yard as we managed to beat the heat for a bit until I had to cut out. Katina you are a great sport and thanks for jumping in and doing a great job!

Well they say everyone has a twin in the world and I have finally run in to mine! It seems as though from music to being goofy and energetic we are two peas in pod. We are so much alike it is almost scary! He is a great person and full of energy and most of his in love for his wife reflects the love I have for my wife. True and dedicated!

John Whitlock of ” Landscape Picturesque” 832.256.5244. He knows his stuff as I learned that calling a leaf a leaf is not the way to do it since the leaf was really an “Oak Leaf”. (hahaha, yes John I had to throw that one in there).

We have been very fortunate to have couples that are fun and just awsome to work with which makes for beautiful images. As most you know my style differs in this industry as times change the typical is not a choice for me or my clients. So here is why we differ from eveyone else…

Creating new styles and techniques for images without losing the essence of the image is not always easy. I will pick my favs and then perform some edits but it is also cool to see what the Brides and Models see in their shoot. I ask them to pick their favs and then I do edits on their choices and here is a Mo’s Picks.

The temp was in the high 80s and salt water drying out our skin followed by a quick burn. This may sound as though you could not have fun but we proved that to be wrong! Paula grabbed her board and Bridal dress (from Jill’s Fashion and Bridal in League City, TX) and  yes it is not everyday you see a Bridal dress as appropiate attire for surfing but Paula wore it well. That girl got into it in no time at all after a quick mishap with the zipper breaking and a few modifications to her dress by her personal designer and Photographer (ME)! We gave her a new style by grabbing a knife from a cool surfer dude with an RV. We then tore in to the dress giving her a bit more room to catch a wave. (she actually caught several).

OK, here come the part where I thought I had a couple of waves under control and then they proved me wroong with my camera in hand! Yes, I was in the water with her. Get used to it because it is what makes me the photographer I am and the photogrpaher I will always be. The waves hit and to keep my camera from getting wet I hopped up as the waved passed but I did not see the second coming and it took me under the water face and all but as I have told my arm and hand many times…

Let me drown just save the camera and this time it proved once again that I meant nothing as it held the camera above the water. A quick dry off and we were back shooting. Gotta love Canon!

So enough about me and on with the show. This is what is all about…

Get the shot no matter what is thrown in your way. Otherwise it would be another typical shot!

Paula, thank you and you rock! Not sure I can handle any sun tomorrow but I am looking forward to another session very soon if your up for it! You guys leave comments for Paula and give her some shouts she deserves it!

Coming soon “Trash the Dress” Texas Tour!

Anyway on with the show…

Can anyone say I want some MO! (hahahaha)

Kemah Gardens will blow you away with a modern style Bed & Breakfast (although I feel weddings will be their calling in the very near future). This venue has much to offer from inside to outside. I belive it is on 5 acres and serenity is taken to a whole new level here. Do not hesitate to contact Kemah Gardens and book before all availability is gone! Here is their info and website:

First off CONGRATS goes out to Danielle on her engagement!

and now…

We started off at SALUD! Winery and our host Brad Odom was amazingly fun and interactive with our shoot. The winery not only offers the ability to make your own wine and labels but they can provide custom ideas for any event and supply it in any quanity. And the food is great (especially the CHICKEN), which I will soon own the spices to make it myself and if Brad does not release it I will come to his winery everyday and get on his last nerve until he finally breaks and just gives it to me! (hahahaha). Visit SALUD! for lunch, dinner and just a break from the world! We love when everyone jumps in and gives us more energy to push limits and give us creative ideas. It is not always the photographer creating the stunning images but the people involved with the shoot as in this case. Brad, Brett, Diana, Danielle, and of course me! Brett from Cimo Productions (kick @** videographer, Diana and Danielle (mother and daughter team), who own “JILL’S FASHION AND BRIDAL” in League City, TX off of I-45 and 518. Check them out for your Bridal, Prom, Pageant, Tuxedo, and Evening needs. They have it all and the service is far beyond exceptional.

We left SALUD! with fully bellies and ready to sleep but the show had to go on…

Hard Rock Events

We headed over to “Williams Tower Waterfall” but someone did not pay the waterbill and the water was off. So we jumoed in our cars and moved on down the road to Bayou Place and the fun started all over! Back into the water we went including Brett! Danielle was awesome and defintely fun to work with! She will be doing part 2 as soon as we can get her to play hooky from work again!

Forgot to mention a specail thanks goes out to the City of Houston parking people who must hang out at Bayou Place waiting for 6pm to roll up and then give $65 tickets at 6:04pm not giving anyone a chance to get back and move their vehicles but I am not complaining. Just thought I would mention it. Since they got all 3 of us!

Brad, thank you for the great food, fun and wine and the shameless advertising we did for “Wine B Gone” (hahaha).

Brad carefully looks for the stain on the dress that as you can see is hard to find and grabs one small bottle to spray as Danielle helps.

Brad will be launching his info-mercial on late night TV as he offers the next big product you gotta have!

drum roll please (dudududududududududu)….

WINE B GONE – got a stain? Just a spray and “Wine B Gone” goes to work eliminaing those tough stains by allowing oxygen to insert itself in to the stain and begin to break it up causing it to rise to the surface and then allowing you to wipe it off. (ok, do not take me serious I was just making something up to be funny) but on the real tip..

THIS STUFF ACTUALLY WORKED! It started to remove the stains without us even wiping it off!

SHAMELESS sales pitch…

You can now purchase “Wine B Gone” at SALUD! Winery for only $15.00 per bottle. Speak to Brad about large orders. Whatever business you are in this product would be an asset and for $15.00 you could save the day!
