Shannon & Sean Engagement Shoot Part 2

Today I met Sean and Shannon to finish our engagement shoot. Despite some cold winds we really got some great shots. We shot again in Grapevine at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens and the Tarantula train yard.

This is my favorite show of the day. I like their expressions with the grass. Make sure you look at the full size version.





Go Big Train!
I could shoot around these rail cars for hours.


I've made a new blue "look".
This tree behind them was really awesome. Especially with the blue sky.

You see a trunk like this and you have to shoot on it.

I know Shannon's by herself in this photo, but it's a good shot and Sean really liked it.
I had a great time today. Sean and Shannon are fun and great subjects. I can barely wait till we shoot again.

Thanks,
Brian

Haslet Sunset

I saw this driving home from an engagement shoot with Sean and Shannon (pics to come) and I had to pull over and get out. I've driven by this a thousand times, but tonight the moon lined up with this windmill. Who doesn't love windmills?

I'm thinking about starting an Occupy Haslet movement. But less civil disobedience and more about BBQ and the Catfish Grill.

Rashad Sr. Pics

This afternoon I shot my friend Rashad's senior pics. Rashad goes to Northwest High School and plays basketball. He's thinking about going to UNT or UTA. We shot around the streets of the Stockyards and had a great time.









Rashad was awesome. If college doesn't work out I think he go with his backup as a Hollister model.

Shannon & Sean Part 1

Today I shot with Shannon and Sean. They're getting married in September next year. Both go to UNT. They've been dating since school. We walked down Main St in Grapevine. Unfortunately, it started to rain so we had to cut our shoot short until next weekend. But here are a few good ones from today.




This wall was already decorated for us.
Stay tuned for part two...

Hot

A couple more shots using a lighting setup.

My favorite hot sauce.
My wife's favorite shoes. Check out the reflection of the shoes. I'm working with some acrylic when I shoot products like this.

Kicks

Just testing a new light and need some good subjects. I'm lighting these overhead with a Paul C. Buff Einstien 640, tripped with Pocket Wizards. Shooting through a stripbox.

These are retro Jordan's. When I was a kid I really loved these shoes, but they were way too expensive. But a few years ago we were in New York and I saw these in one of those shops with no signs on a back street. So now these sit up in the top of my closet only to come out for special occasions.

These are new Brooks Pure Grit. They're really light and comfortable, but mainly they're green and I like green stuff.

Downtown Denver

A couple of weeks ago I went to Denver for work. While hanging out in the tower I took this picture of Downtown Denver. I think there were 8+ inches of snow that day, but the guys in the Denver yard didn't even seem phased.
