Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders - Preview of the 2017-18 Season

January 20, 2018

The final home game of the Dallas Cowboys Season was on Christmas Eve, and as tradition the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders did their Holiday Halftime Show in their red holiday outfits. This is a preview of the galleries I'll be posting of the 2017-2018 season with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders.

This game was shot with the Sony a7rIII that Sony sent over for me to test drive. AT&T Stadium is always a little tricky to shoot in, add to that the fast action of the cheerleaders doing their routines and you have a fun environment to put the a7RIII through the paces.

More to come!

Vaiola and Moana Turn One

November 28, 2017 in Kids

Twins, unicorns, and cake smashing. Who wouldn't want to shoot this? Congrats to Vaiola and Moana for completing their first trip around the sun. Even though both of you can't read this yet, here's to many more birthday celebrations in your future!

Goodbye Niles City

July 26, 2016 in Artsy Shoots

Sitting just to the east and casting a shadow on the Stockyards sat a group of buildings in extreme decay, the heart of what was once Niles City. Comprised of a little over one half square mile in size, it once had 508 inhabitants and was labelled the "richest little city in Texas" due to the Fort Worth Stockyards Company, The Swift & Armour Packing Company, and the Stockyard Exchange. 1911 it was valued at $12 million. When the Swift & Armour Packing Company was operating at it's peak, 4,000 men and women were reporting for work. In 1923 Niles City was annexed and became a part of Fort Worth.

And Then There Was Miss Gaby

July 21, 2014 in Fashion Shoot

I really don't know where to begin with Gaby, she's absolutely incredible. Not only is she completely stunning, but she's also one of the nicest and sweetest girls in the world. I've had the pleasure of doing a handful of shoots with her now, and I've had an amazing time on everyone of them. She's the perfect example of what every photographer dreams of working with. Thank you Gaby for being totally awesome, and I can't wait to do more work with you!

A Little Time in Austin With Miss Courtney

July 09, 2014 in Commercial Work

Earlier this year I headed down south with my fantastic hair and makeup artist Christina to set up camp and have a little fun around a new area around Austin called the Domain. The idea was to do a little experimenting while doing some punk rock glamour style shoots. Courtney was the first of four on our long day of shooting and she was absolutely awesome. Wouldn't you agree that she crushed it?

Hagfish and Bobgoblin at 3 Links - 6.21.14

June 22, 2014 in bands

993.... I was a young angst fueled teenager that was obsessed with fast and noisy punk rock music . The louder and faster, the better, but I was also becoming more and more interested in the North Texas music scene. Local radio station, KDGE The Edge would occasionally release a CD entitled Tales From The Edge that would in the end, consist of 11 volumes that were curated by DJ/Music Director George Gimarc. Each volume focused on music and bands from North Texas with a slight dabbling into the Austin music scene.

The Confounded at Andy's, Denton - 3.21.14

March 21, 2014 in bands

It was a cool Friday night and The Confounded decided to plant their flag in Denton. The result was an evening of greatness as the band laid waste to the stage at Andy's on the square. Once again proving why The Confounded is one of my favorite North Texas bands!

Brittany - Senior Session | Class of 2012

June 26, 2012 in Senior Session

I met Brittany last year while shooting her cousin's wedding and was instantly amused by her relaxed demure and anything goes attitude. So when she approached me to do her senior photos I really didn't know what was in store. I never imaged that we would be stomping through a forest, hanging off a bridge, herding cattle, and wrestling mesquite trees. After her sessions, I seriously thought about adding a safety clause to my releases.

Taylor - A Washateria Party

June 12, 2012 in Artistic

A few months ago my buddy Lindsay Garrett and I were walking through the streets of Roanoke on a senior session when I popped off and said that I wanted to do some sort of shoot in a laundromat somewhere. To my surprise, she was on the same page, so plans were set in motion to set something up. Lindsay said she knew the perfect girl for the shoot, and she couldn't have been more right. Taylor was amazing to work with; laid back and easy going, she was an absolute joy to work with.

Wedding - Monica & Wil - An April Fool's Wedding

April 13, 2012 in weddings

Monica & Wil....I don't know where to begin. I guess I'll start out by saying THANK YOU for not only letting Eric and I shoot your wedding, but THANK YOU for an amazing night that I will always remember. I've shot a lot of weddings over the last few years, but I can't remember ever having this much fun! It's always enjoyable shooting for a client that is laid back and spends more time focusing on having a good time then worrying about the little annoying nuances that may arise during your big wedding day. I know for a fact that Eric, Lindsay, and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and not once did we ever feel like we were there "to do a job". So once again THANK YOU!

Brittnie - Abandoned Steel Mill

April 04, 2012 in Artistic

One of the things I love about my normal day job is that I get to drive all over North Texas and find some of the coolest spots to shoot. Little did I know that there were so many empty warehouses and factory buildings within a ten minute drive. So the day I found out about a 120,000 square foot steel mill being abandoned in North Fort Worth, I immediately started planning photo shoots, and the first person that crossed my mind was Brittnie.

Engagements - Monica & Wil - A Couple of April Fools

March 27, 2012 in engagement

Last October a few friends and I headed for Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada for a few days of relaxation and fun in the desert. Little did I know that my friend and co-worker Wil was also heading out there at the same time with his girlfriend for a little bit of same. After a few Facebook post and text messages we made plans for all of us to hook up one evening while we were there, but what happened was something I was totally unprepared for.

Music - A Skylit Drive @ The Main for SXSW

March 19, 2012 in concerts

My goal for SXSW this year was just to go down there, wonder aimlessly, and just see what we happened upon (see yesterday's post here). The only thing we had in stone was making it to The Main Friday night to see The Artery Foundation Showcase featuring A Lot Like Birds, Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, For The Fallen Dreams, Attila, Woe Is Me, Chelsea Grin and A Skylit Drive.

Music - Our 19 Hours of South By Southwest

March 18, 2012 in concerts

South by Southwest is a chaotic orgy of sensory overload that leaves your body and mind pummeled for days. Over 90 venues and 2000 artists turn downtown Austin into the largest music festival for 5 days every year. It's a music nerd's nirvana.

It's been years since I've made the trip down for SXSW, and until a couple of weeks ago, it looked like I was going to be missing out on another year. But my schedule cleared up and the madness of last minute planning began.

Stacy & Andre - I Finally Got To Shoot Your Engagements!

February 07, 2012 in engagement

Well its about damn time! I know I'm not the first one to say that, but I thought I'd add to the chorus of others that have said it before, but in a happy and teasing way while making the infamous "dusty face". Okay, that maybe a little too inside. For those that don't know, Stacy is my cousin, and she has been a major part of both mine and Jennifer's life for as long as we can remember. It seems like yesterday that you were living with us and we were meeting Andre for the first time in his little bicycle shorts, hahaha.

In Flames @ The Granada Theater 1.22.12

January 25, 2012 in concerts

This past Sunday, Swedish heavy metal band, In Flames return to Dallas in support of their latest release Sounds of a Playground Fading with Trivium, Veil the Maya, and Kyng along for the ride. Each of the opening bands did a pretty decent job warming up the crowd, but for me, this night was all about finally seeing In Flames after gaining knowledge of them in 2003. Well that's kind of misleading, I did see them at Ozzfest in 2005 on the side stage, but seeing a band in the parking lot of an amplitheater with crappy sound and a 20 minute set really doesn't count as seeing them. I digress.

Michelle & Josh - A Night Out On The Town - Engagement Session

January 09, 2012 in engagement

My preferred working time is anywhere from about 2 hours before the sunsets till about 3-4 am. Most photographers fear working at night, but I openly invite it. My somewhat logical thinking is that controlling light is a lot easier in the dark then when a giant orb of orange and yellow is hanging in the sky. It always helps to have a full arsenal of speed lights and remotes at your disposal, as well as nice warm ambient surroundings. So when Lisa called me up and said she had an amazing couple that wanted to go out on the town for the night, I instantly got all tingly inside.

Lyndsey & John: Wedding at the Marty Leonard Chapel

December 28, 2011 in weddings

Lyndsey and John, I don't even know where to begin with these two. It always seems harder the closer you are to a couple, and I've known these two for quite a while now. Lyndsey is a down home girl with punk rock appeal, and John is a "guys guy" who works with his hands and plays in the mud. Put these two together and they are a perfect fit. I met up with Lyndsey early that morning with her girls at the salon, even though John tried his hardest to put me out of commission the night before. That's a different story for a different time.

Rita and A New Arrival Just Around the Corner

October 12, 2011 in Maternity

A few months ago when Rita asked me to shoot her maternity photos, I instantly said yes and ideas began racing through my head. Little did I know at the time that we would be returning to Niles City.
