Moblogging!

OK...I know I'm pretty much a techo geek. Always have been. Just seems to come natural for some reason. So I have been hearing about Moblogging. Basically...it's bogging on a mobile phone...such as the phone l'm currently using to write this message.

Quality is not great, but here we are enjoying Tokyo House in Lufkin.

Enjoy!

9/4/07....PS..Since this post comes up when doing a Google search for Tokyo House Lufkin, I wanted to say a few words about the restaurant. WE LOVE IT! We since wend back for another visit and the service, good and show were all excellent and consistent. Thanks Tokyo House for providing East Texas with such great service!

6 week old Lawson

We had a great session with Lawson this week. His family came all the way from Corrigan. We have been photographing his older brother and sister since this age as well. Thanks Johanna for the honor to capture your precious memories all these years!

Congratulations to Stacey & Shannon

What a cute couple! I am so happy for Stacey & Shannon on their upcoming wedding. They seem to be perfect for each other and really enjoy each others company. I can't wait for the fun to start in a few weeks!

Senior Graffiti

Our senior graffiti is finished! Each year we update it with something different. This year it is HOT! A special thanks to our artist Heather Stanco. She is outstanding.

If you are a senior, all senior sessions go on sale next week and will be 50% OFF! So, starting July 9th, you will save a ton if you call early. We will completely fill our schedule with appointments, so call early to ensure your appointment.

July 4th fun!

Nacogdoches puts on a great show each July 4th and last night was no exception. We had a great time with many friends and family coming out to enjoy the fun. It was great when the Ice Cream "man" passed by and the kids screamed, causing them to turn around. As you can see, the kids throughly enjoyed their treats.

Once the fireworks started, I moved to a few different spots capturing the event. If you ever want to photograph fireworks, here are a few tips:
1. Use a tripod and long shutter speeds, somewhere around 8 seconds. I captured these on Manual mode with an aperture of 5.6.
2. Watch and listen for several bursts, then click the shutter. Takes some luck to capture the perfect timing.
3. Set your color balance to incandescent or around 2800K.
