Saenz Family Christmas

So what can I say about the Saenz Family Chirstmas shoot? One thing I can say is that it was a very fun challenge. Why a challenge? Because there were 20 people on this shoot. This has got to be the biggest group of people that we have shot at one time. However, I must say that the shoot went well. It was also good to see some old friends. Some of these guys I knew when they were little kids, a few others I hung out with and one I knew from a distance. But I consider them all good friends.

This was the second shoot we did on Christmas Day. It was very very cold outside and I was concerned about the kids taking off their jackets every time we were ready to shoot. Then I remembered that most of them are from North Texas, so I'm sure this weather was nothing for them. They all did great and were very patient. The children were easy to work with. Sometimes when I find out that I am working with children, I brainstorm of ideas to settle them down or keep them from getting distracted. Not the case with these kids. They were very calm. But, I must mention Noah was funny and definitely gave these pictures some character. He was making me laugh a lot. What a fun day.

To the Saenz family, Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your Christmas Day. We enjoyed it and it was fun.

Be sure to look for more pictures from this shoot on our Facebook page and look for the behind the scenes video to be posted soon on our YouTube channel.

Tey Christmas Shoot

These are Priscilla's grandparents, Perfecto & Macaria Tey. Yes, his name is Perfect, and he always reminds us of it. I have known grandma and grandpa Tey for a very very long time. They are two very loving people. Grandpa Tey loves to pass out tracks and crack jokes. Every time I see him he has a new joke. I always wonder where he gets them from. We had a lot of fun with they on this shoot. Mainly because grandpa Tey is always making us laugh. He is such a comedian.

Also on this day we shot Lydia and Matthew Tey. They are Priscilla's aunt and cousin. I might also mention that Matthew is my daughter's favorite person. She always asks for him. Lydia is also a blessing to our family. She is the one who always encouraged my wife to do good in school and to work hard to accomplish her goals. These two will always have a special place in our hearts and family.

Below are the two behind the scenes videos of these shoots.

Baby Dillon

On December 9 we took pictures of little baby Dillon. What a joy it is to work with little babies. Little Dillon was such a good little boy. He was wide awake for the first part of the shoot. He looked right at the camera every time that we snapped a shot. After a good long while he had had enough and fell asleep. Little Dillon's photos will be featured on our website. He did a great job for his first photo-shoot.

Domonic & Dezerae

Just yesterday we did a shoot of two great beautiful children. These are the children of two good friends of ours. You may recognize Domonic & Dezerae from a previous shoot we did about a year ago. These two kids were fun to work with yesterday despite the very very cold weather. Little Domonic was focused and ready to shoot. He has a serious look on his face in most of his pictures but don't be fooled, he was having a great time. Dezerae was having a good time just picking flowers while we were out there. But when it was time to shoot, she wanted to take her jacket off and be right next to her big brother. You can really tell that these two kids have a great bond and love each other very much.

The weather was very cold so we tried to hurry things up. Never did any one of them complain about the chilly temperature. They were both ready for the camera. The final products from this shoot will be a little more artsy rather than traditional. Here we have posted two sample photos but you can see the entire album of this shoot on our Facebook or MySpace profiles in a few days. These pictures will also be featured on our Website. Stay tuned and check back they are looking great.
