Nathan and Lindsey are some cool cats. A lot of times new clients will show up a little timid about having someone take their picture, but not these two. They came ready and willing to strut their stuff, and BOY did they! The first image is a picture from the beginning of the session, and doesn’t Lindsey look awesome? Get it, girl. So, the 3 of us (and Lindsey’s super cool mom) walked around the Stockyards in Ft. Worth stopping at places that pleased my photographic eye. I think we got some really great shots, if I do say so myself. It was so easy to photograph them. Lindsey has an infectious smile, and you just can’t help but join in with all the smiling. Nathan is such a jokester. He could make a mime laugh, I swear. So, between the two of them, I really enjoyed capturing some great candid moments. There were SOOO many of them laughing with each other, I couldn’t edit them all (this late, anyway…… notice it’s 2:30 am…. LOL!). After our session tonight, we had dinner at a fun little Mexican restaurant. It was so great getting to know a little bit about them and their story (which I will share sometime), and not to mention I enjoyed my nachos (probably too much, ha!). Nathan and Lindsey are such a great couple and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding next summer.  Thank you guys for the fun tonight! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Met a model? WELL, not only have I met one, I photographed one! Her name is Brooke and she is an aspiring “Parts Model.” If you’ve never heard of it (which I hadn’t), you can be a model for only specific parts of your body. For instance, all her life, Brooke’s friends and family have insisted that she be a foot model. When she called me asking to photograph her feet, I couldn’t WAIT to see what a model foot is supposed to look like (I knew it definitely wasn’t the type that I have… ha)! Sure enough, Brooke’s feet are the PERFECT candidates for modeling shoes, toe-nail polish, etc. They are pretty feet. I believe Brooke is going to make it big as a foot model! See her rockin’ feet:

This is an awesome video that our media guy, Peter, put together of the Cardboard Testimonies we had at StoneWater yesterday. No, the audio is not SWBand (audio sounded bad on the recording). Even though I saw the testimonies 3 times yesterday, I watched it again twice last night and cried both times. Get your tissues.

STAYS in January. Okay, so January was a ssssllllloooowwww month for me in photography. It’s COLD. It’s DREARY. And no one wants to drag their families out into the January weather to take some pictures. It’s okay, because it’s now February! The month of new opportunities! Yay! Not to mention, my birthday is this month too. Anyway, I have a shoot on Friday and was contacted by several people this week about taking pictures. Thank you GOD! I’ve missed my camera so much! I mean, when I don’t have a “real” reason to take pictures, I like to make up reasons. Like this one. This one is called, “Eric, rake some leaves and throw the puppies in them and I’ll take their picture!”

Or, I might just bring my camera along to the move in day at the school our church has moved to. By the way, the move went GREAT and we had about 1400 people on Sunday! PRAISE GOD! WOW!

And finally, I would NEVER miss taking my camera to my Grandpa’s 84th birthday party at Babe’s, as he danced like a chicken, and Granbury Live where he enjoyed a country music show. My family had so much fun!

Well, that’s all the excitement for January. Like I said, it should stay there. Moving on to February. Hopefully nicer weather and more shoots.
