Mr. Baseball - San Antonio High School Senior Photographer

Logan came to us from East Central HS. He is a member of the baseball team. Logan is full of life. The entire time we had him, he never stopped. His energy levels were off the chart. Always laughing and having a good time. Logan is blessed to have the two parents he has. They love him to death. But the funny thing is, he doesn’t take it for granted. He doesn’t act spoiled. He knows how good he has it, and acts accordingly. We had a marathon session, but Logan never stopped. He even went out with his girlfriend afterwards. Our session started at the studio and finished at the baseball field at East Central HS. I really enjoyed photographing him. He has enough personality for a few people. There’s never a dull moment with him.

His Favorites:

Quote: “Luck to me is lots of determination, hard work, faith in myself, and in God”

Song: “Stressed Out: If We Could Turn Back Time” by Twenty-One Pilot

Plans for Next Year: Go to College

What people will remember him most for: His personality: Good-Hearted, Smile, and Goofiness

If he could do one thing to impact the world: Solve Poverty

Logan has faced many challenges in his life, but he has learned how to overcome. Hard work, determination, perseverance, and persistence are all part of his character. He has achieved what most people aren’t willing to go the extra mile for. Logan, I know you will “make it” in life. How do I know this? Your ambition and willingness to be a team player speaks volumes for your character. Your parents have done you right, and that my friend is one of the greatest blessings you could ever wish for. You can see more images from the session here, in this short video.

Kaptain Kyle - San Antonio HS Senior Photographer

We’ve known Kyle for about 4 years, he lives down the street from us. Kyle will graduate from Clemens HS this Spring. He plans on joining the military to become a pilot/chaplain. I know it’s seems like a strange combination, but think about it: he will be closer to the Heavens while flying, so his prayers won’t have to travel as far. Kyle was the recipient of a scholarship that starts him in pilot training this Summer. He plans on joining the Air Force Reserves afterwards, and eventually becoming an officer, when he finishes up his schooling. Since Kyle likes to dress up, I thought, “why not capture him ‘Vanity Fair Style’?” The image turned out exactly as I thought it would. I think he could actually be on the cover of a major styling magazine. “Lookin’ mighty dapper”.

His favorites:

Quote: “When at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then give up. There’s no need to make a fool of yourself”

Song: “Control” by For King and Country

Plans for next year: Air Force Reserves and College

What people will remember him most for: His positivity

If he could do one thing to impact the world: Tell everyone about a man named Jesus

When we discussed what he wanted for his portrait session, he wanted something with airplanes and a runway. I called a friend of mine, Jeff W, and he helped set it up. On the day of the session, we met Brad, call sign “Hoss”, at the flight line, and he escorted us to where the planes were. Every thing worked out perfectly. There were A-10s on the runway, T-38s everywhere, and a couple of F-16s at the end of the tarmac. I could’ve stayed there all day and shot, but we had to get back to the studio to finish up his session. I must say, “Jeff, you are the man”. Thanks for helping set this session up. And Brad, your hospitality and genuine concern for us to get the best images, really stood out. I can’t say enough about the entire experience. Kyle, I hope all of your dreams become a reality. We need more pilots in this country, but more importantly, we need more men of integrity. You are definitely on the right path. We hope your career leads many, many more people to the Truth.

Soccer Extraordinaire - San Antonio HS Senior Photographer

Miss Krystal comes to us from Steele HS. She’s a 4 year lettermen on the Varsity Soccer team. She plans on playing soccer (on scholarship) in College at TLU in the Fall. She wants to major in Kinesiology, and become a teacher and coach, hopefully passing on her in-depth knowledge of the sport, along with her experiential wisdom. Krystal isn’t a “limelight” person, or a girlie girl. She loves soccer, and likes to hike, and be outside. She’s smart, caring, funny, kind, and clumsy.

Her favorites:

Quote: “The best view comes after the hardest climb”

Song: “You Say” by Lauren Daigle

Plans for next year: Attend TLU and play soccer

What people will remember her most for: Her caring heart

If she could do one thing to impact the world: Give everyone a reason to smile

Krystal was fun to photograph. I think she’s got her head on straight, knows what she wants, and has a plan to achieve her goals. There’s no doubt in my mind, she’ll be exactly where she thinks she’ll be 10 years from now. On a side note, I went to school with her mom (small world, isn’t it?). We grew up living on the same street. Krystal is already on her way impacting the world, she gave me reason to smile ; ) You can watch a video to see more of her from the session, here.

James Madison Dollies Dance Team 2018 - San Antonio Photographer

I can't believe this is our 15th year photographing the JM Dollie Dance Team.  Of course, it's always fun working with such talented young ladies.  Mrs. Shelly Flynn does a phenomenal job with these girls as their Dance Team Coach.  In all honesty, they are one of the most spunky, talented, and creative teams in our area.  There's never a dull moment either.  They are constantly laughing and being silly, so you can't help but smile and enjoy the ride. Congratulations Dollies to another year of growth and success. Here's a video from the session

The Girl with the Big Smile - Miss Clarissa - San Antonio High School Senior Photographer

Miss Clarissa is a senior from Smithson Valley HS.  She's outgoing, and likes to make people laugh.  We came to meet because of her mom.  We went to school together.  I believe it was Geometry class.  Who'd have thought, years later, she'd be entrusting me to create her daughter's senior portraits?  Anyway, Clarissa wants to become a veterinarian.  She's hopeful to attend Texas A&M next Fall.  Michelle kept saying she couldn't believe how calm and relaxed she was during the session.  I wasn't surprised.  She's a natural in front of the camera.  It made my job so much easier.  Maybe it has something to do with me, but we got the best of Clarissa, and the images were out-of-this-world beautiful.  When I asked her to describe her "one portrait" that would capture her true self, she said, "in my flower dress, in a field, laughing".  We were in a field of flowers and "what do you know", we got the shot.  We got so many good images that her mom said that she would have a hard time choosing.  I just told her to put us on her bank account and we'd be good.  Clarissa has a sense of humor, loves to smile, and a big heart.  She never seems to let things tear her down.  Maybe it's her faith, but she seems to be headed in the right direction with the right attitude.  We certainly wish the best for her, especially with her walk with the Lord.  If you ever need a "Pick-Me-Up", Clarissa is the one to call.  She's got a pep in her step, and her smile lasts awhile.  Clarissa, may all your dreams come true, and you bring light into the world, making it a better place because you are in it.  You can view a video of her, here.  Enjoy.....
