Las Collinas ~ Family Photographer

I just love shooting pictures for the Thesing-Ritters. It is always and adventure plus it's been great to watch the kids grow up over the years. Plus they let me try new stuff and go to different locations to make their memories a reality. This year we checked out the canals of Las Collinas, and it was fun and creative.

Fort Worth Stockyards Photographer

I had a lot of fun with these two lovely ladies the other day, down at the Stockyards. It was a pretty busy Sunday, with lots of people out and about, but we managed to find some places to have some great shots.

Plus we even had the opportunity to see the cattle "drive." Always a good show for the city folks.

Thanks so much for spending sometime with me to help capture your holiday memories. I had a lot of fun.

I have known the Dickson family since their youngest was just a baby. It is so much fun to see other friends' kids grow up and develop into fablous little people. These kids are no exception.

Their son plays baseball with Barrett and even soccer at one time. I just love this family, they are great. So I was very happy when they asked me to take thier family photos.

It was a very cold October morning before soccer, but they were great. The kids were wonderful and we got some really great shots. Thanks again for sharing you family with me.

Mansfield Family Photographer

The Botts Family was great. I know how crazy life with three boys can be and these guys did wonderful. We had a great time and everyone was able to get back to their regular schedule in a short time.

The boys did a wonderful job of being ready and willing to pose and so I was able to get some wonderful shots. We even had a little fun, I think.

Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful family with me.

Grapevine Maternity Photography

New babies are so much fun, I can hardly wait to see this little boy once he arrives. Until then I worked with Mom, Dad and Big Brother to capture some memories before his arrival later this year.

We had fun playing around at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens. It was a little crowded, I guess one of the schools was having Homecoming the same day. Made for a crazy time at the gardens.

Mansfield Child Photography

A boy and his dog are two of lifes favorite companions. I'm happy that I got a chance to meet these two the other day out at the park. They worked well together and seem to really love each other.

Thanks so much for sharing them with me.

Fort Worth Wedding Photographer

It was a cool, crisp October afternoon when Trish and Arlen were married in Fort Worth at Thistle Hill. I really enjoyed the words from the celebrant and had a great time watching as these two joined their lives together.

The symbolism of the three fish joining together in one bowl was a very clever idea.

As well as using decorative rocks for the guests to sign in, instead of a guest book.

The final touch that really showed the personality of the couple was when they drove off in a Model A antique car.

I wish you guys a happy and long marriage together. Thank you so much for letting me share your special day.

Arlington Baby Photographer

Each day in a childs life is important but some seem to mean more than others. One such day is when your child turns One. This day is a milestone in many cultures and mean so much to the parents.

I'm so glad that I had the chance to help capture this wonderful day for Decllan as he turned one and starts his next journey to become a toddler and so much more.

He was a really good sport and took some wonderful rustic pictures as a little "cowboy." Take a look.

Fort Worth Wedding Photographer

I had the wonderful opporunity to spend the afternoon with a great couple as their wedding photographer.

I had a great time capturing their special day, and helped them to make memories to last.

Here are few highlights from their day.

Family Photographer ~ Fort Worth, TX

I had the great pleasure to work with a wonderful family from one of my children's schools this past week. We had a great time working together and I think we came away with some shots the family will really enjoy for the years to come.

The challenge this session was going to be the weather. You just never know what the summer will bring in Texas other than Hot, Hot, Hot. We actually had some rain the day before our session and the day of later on, so we moved our location which worked out very well.

Each of the kids did great! So did Mom and Dad for that matter. Thanks for choosing me as your photographer.

Canvas Prints

Canvas prints are a great way to add interest to your pictures and create a beautiful piece of artwork for your home. Any image can be turned into a canvas print so long as you have access and are allowed to print from a digital negative. Ask your photographer about canvas prints and the wonderful value and beauty they create for any image or home. A great thing about canvas prints is that you can customize the size that you want so that you can make a statement with your art work. As well as choose the way the image is finished. For example, this black and white image is a “museum wrap” print; while the color image is a “gallery wrap” image. Both are beautiful images and a great way to show off those important pictures. So don’t wait any longer for your images to be made into prints order a canvas print today of your favorite image to hang in your home.

Engagement Photographer ~ Fort Worth, TX

I had the greatest pleasure to work with Tiffany and Rob recently on their engagement photographs. We had a great time taking in the sites down at the Stockyards in Fort Worth. They were a great couple to work with and had a great time. We worked together to come up with some creative ideas to show off their style and love for each other. Tiffany even had a cute idea which photographed well and I think I’ll use some version of it again. I do like to have the bride “pulling” her love in her direction in some way. Plus it’s great and always gets a laugh out of the couple during and after the session. I can hardly wait to see their images in print and attend their reception to capture the memories for them so they can cherish those images for years to come. Thanks Tiffany and Rob, it was a lot of fun and you guys did great.

Arlington Baby Photographer

Babies of all ages are cute and cuddle and can be a joy to photography. As they get older though they can be a little bit of a challenge to get them to hold still and be in the photography as you want them. Do not be afraid to let baby move around and check out their surroundings. This can create a "live" portrait that truly captures the baby’s personality. It is nice to have those portraits where baby is posed and perfect but Mom and Dad do not always see baby as poised and perfect, but moving around and exploring their little world. Since babies do move around so much, try not to focus on keep babies face front and center. Those smiles while looking at Mom or an object of desire are just as heartwarming as those with a full front smile. So do not let those moments get by when baby is being curious, snap away as they taste, touch and explore the environment they are in. You just never know what image you might capture.
