Meet Jon, Angela, Paul, Evelyn, Kerri and Dustin. I had a blast with this bunch a few weeks ago. Everyone came to the session prepared to have a good time and to trust my photographic instincts. If I didn’t already know this crew … I would have been extremely intimidated by this talented family. The little red-head is Jennifer’s (my wife) little sister and she’s dating Jon (the tall hunky guy that likes to smile). If you’re not a Polka fan then your missing out. These two are the reining 2010 National Polka Festival King and Queen. I won’t get into specifics … but they dance really good … and Czechs like to dance. Jon can also be seen playing the accordion in and around Texas with the Ennis Czech Boys. So be on the look out. Paul was definitely the crazy one … which I was totally prepared for. He’s in front of the camera more than most … and you’ve probably seen his face on a billboard or two somewhere around Dallas or on a TV commercial. He works the airwaves entertaining many of you in the mornings through your radio as Paul Koffy on the Wake Up With the Wolf Show on 99.5 the Wolf. Kerri is a rock star in more ways than one. She’s obviously a rock star in front of the camera … but I hear she’s a rock star at cutting and styling hair at the Pure Salon in Irving. So make sure to visit her if you’re in the area. Here’s a few of my favorites from their session.

Nikki (mom), Matt (dad) and Jennifer (my wife) have all been friends since college at Louisiana Tech in Ruston. We typically try to visit each other once a year … but this year we got to see them twice! When we visited them in Copperas Cove earlier this year I remember seeing a few cool spots downtown that would make good photo locations … and wished I could use them. Needless to say, I was excited when over a month ago Nikki told Jennifer she wanted me to come down and do portraits of Evie and a few family portraits for Christmas cards. Due to crazy schedules … the only date available was this past Sunday. Little did we know … the weather was not going to cooperate at all. After driving three hours through endless cold, wet weather … I realized I wasn’t going to be able to use the locations I had in mind. Thank God for speed-lights, Pocket Wizards and for forcing me out of my comfort-zone … oh and furniture with character! I ended up turning their master bedroom into a mock studio and captured some unique images I’d of never captured had the weather been perfect. I think Evie had a better time playing in the dresser drawer than she would have had somewhere in downtown Copperas Cove anyways. There’s a ton of them … but here are my favorites.

Meet Addison. She made her debut back in May with her two cousins Caden & Graham. This time she’s back at the Dallas Arboretum for the Great Pumpkin Festival to pose in her skunk costume. Fortunately … she didn’t get into character during our time together … if you know what I mean. ;- ) Choosing the images for this post proved to be quite difficult because she doesn’t know how to take a bad photo.
