Oz and Stacey's Wedding

Earlier this month I shot one of the most laid-back weddings I've shot to date! Stacey and Oz got married at Barriba, on the Riverwalk, downtown San Antonio, in true rock-star style. This mod restaurant/bar welcomes you with popping day of the dead graffiti, a ceiling filled with unique lighting displays (such as lit-up orange cones!), and longhorn and deer antler chandeliers. Oz and Stacey threw in some records, guitars, day of the dead cake toppers, a poker table for a grooms cake, and sported chucks with their wedding attire, to complete the atmosphere. There was even a surprise revving of motorcycle engines from the streets below, after the kiss! Party on with your marriage, Stacey and Oz! I wish you both a long life filled with the happiness I saw on your faces this special day.

New Studio!

Heads up, guys! I'll be in a new studio, soon! I'm SO excited.

The new studio (in the Finesilver building, downtown San Antonio), has a wall of windows that lets in bukooz of natural light. I can't wait to soak up all that ambiance with my camera!

My first studio had amazing windows, and I've always really missed them. Here are a couple of my favorite photos from that studio. It will be so lovely to create images like these, again.

Model: Nicole Winfield

Model: Brandi Seguin

I'll be in the new studio May 1st, and if you book quick enough, you could be the FIRST model to shoot with me there. Soft window light is perfect for boudoir shoots, or softer beauty shoots. It can also be great for very natural headshots or portraits.

Model: Rossi Saenz

If this type of light quality is not what you are looking for, don't worry. I'll still have my flash units and backdrops available in studio and/or on location, day or night. Let's do it!

Message me at stretchphotos@gmail.com for rates and dates, or check them out on my website and email me via the contact form. There will be changes made, soon, so book at the current rate, while you can! :D

Where Have I Been?

Some of you may know that I was recently diagnosed with Fructose Malabsorption Disorder. I have been having quite a tough time dealing with this, which explains my (longer than usual) absence. I have started a blog called "Sneaky Fructose" that will document my journey, as I learn to live with this. If you are interested, please check it out! There are only a handful of posts so far, but I do hope to bulk it up quickly. I doubt it will be too hard, as figuring out this disorder seems to be consuming all of my time and energy right now.

I hope to be feeling much better soon, working more, and posting LOTS of work here.

At any rate, since this IS my photo blog, here are some photos for you to enjoy!

I don't "shoot" kids often (that sounds terrible, doesn't it??). Some of my most recent shoots, however, were of children!

First, my stepson, in all his football glory! This is his first year, and he couldn't be more excited.

These cuties below are local San Antonio blogger, Christina Coker's, "mini's," as she likes to call them. Poor things had quite a big morning, and feel asleep in Christina's car on the way to the shoot. Oh, no! Luckily, I'm sneaky, and managed to get a few great shots, in spite of the waking-up-blues. :D

This handsome young thing is Isaiah. He is an aspiring actor/dancer here in San Antonio. He's got some great moves! He was a little bit shy, but excited to announce that he is going to be on T.V. soon. How cool is that?
