Logan and his family -- Denton Square

I was given the chance again to photograph Logan, this time, half a year later. The last time I did this was when he could barely open his eyes at 1-week in Katie and Ben's home. Out and about this time on the Denton Square, it's welcoming to see him do well for his first outdoor session. Here are some images that stuck out to me.

We began on the lawn of the courthouse, where he had no problem adjusting quickly:

Then I had Ben hold Logan and made this image:

They also brought their faithful dog, Roscoe, during the first half of the session. I grouped them together for a family photo:

While Ben went to take Roscoe home, I spent a little bit of time with mom and son, and made this:

We went over to the stairs of the courthouse and laid out a blanket for the little man:

Ben came back shortly after, and we walked over to the storefronts, where I photographed them in front of one:

Recycled Books was a suggestion they had as a stop, and the people there were kind enough to let us photograph inside. Logan was placed on the inside where there was a raised, carpeted area, and stopped to pose briefly:

They moved to the back of the store where the children section was, and I setup lights to capture the reading time:

I had them walk down the aisle, and closed in for a closer candid:

Towards the end of an almost two-hour session, Logan did fantastic. I mean there's only so much camera a little one can take -- here's one of Katie embracing a tired Logan:

I'll end the post with this image of the influence of where his name came from:

Katie, Ben, and Logan, thank you all for coming out for this streamlined session. Until next time!

Erika's Seniors - Downtown Plano

Erika, a future UNT student, and I photographed her high school seniors last weekend in Downtown Plano. The session was very simple and straightforward - an experience I always welcome. She is also a sister of Mayra, whose wedding I documented a few years back, so it was a pleasure to see they're doing well, too. Here are some of my favorites from that day.

We started at the gazebo, and I wanted to get a full body shot filled with one flash on the right side:

Then we went over to and used the Interurban Railway Museum's building (which we revisit later) and got in for a closer headshot:

This shot took a few tries since that was when the wind seemed to peak the most during our session, so there were constant readjusting, and I'm grateful she didn't mind working with that in mind:

She spotted these rustic stairs on her way to Downtown Plano, so we walked over there after she changed outfits:

Erika changed tops again and I placed her in front of a garage front and made these two:

These fence doors worked well in contrast to her outfit:

They kept joking about how the benches were nice since we did a bit of walking, and I had planned on sitting her at one anyways. So naturally, I took this headshot:

Then stepped back for a wider shot:

We ended the shoot by revisiting the Interurban Railway Museum's de-comissioned train. Here's one portrait that we made:

Erika, thank you and good luck on your college endeavors!
