One gift arrived Christmas Day that has always been highly anticipated.  Enjoy!  Charlie

Here is our card from this year.  Have a Merry Christmas!  

Enjoy!  Charlie

Hopefully this brings back some fond memories of those school days of old when we looked forward to ‘party day’ at school.  ’Pin the nose on Rudolph’, Christmas gift bags and not having to do any school work.  Enjoy!

Cheers, Charlie

Every year miraculously Santa appears just before Christmas Eve at my sister & brother-in-law’s home. Children from family and friends are invited there not knowing who is about to appear.  The children sing Christmas songs and tell of a special gift they would like to receive.  Then all of a sudden standing in the doorway bellowing in a jolly ol’ voice “Merry Christmas” and “My how you’ve grown from last year”.  Santa takes his seat and each child sits on his lap and tells him of their Christmas wish.  Then Santa reminds them to be sure and go to bed early on Christmas Eve & then he scatters candy canes on the floor & is gone in a ‘flash’.  Enjoy!  Merry Christmas!  Charlie

Here are four images from my outtakes for our Christmas card this year.  I added a B&W version so a difference can be shown in each image.  Color and B&W variances can make a different impact on the image displayed.  So enjoy!  Cheers, Charlie

Thought I would share some images from 2007.  We had a major ice storm in December last year and of course the joy of Christmas morning!  Enjoy!  Charlie

A fun, hip, cool couple!  You know you pick a day to go shoot an environmental session and the weather turns cold.  What do you do?  You roll with it and this is some of what we got.  They were ‘in the moment’!  It was still fun and we got warmed up at Starbucks!  Which is a special place for a special reason to both of them…something to do with an engagement ring! Enjoy!  Charlie

I had another great photo shoot with an awesome couple, Lauren & Justin.  We had location photo shoots at the home Lauren grew up in (which will be the site of their wedding reception-fab backyard…can’t wait to see it).  We also went to a couple of their ranches.  Enjoy!  Charlie

I had a great wedding down in Denton, TX.  I have known Abbie & her family for several years.  We have a common connection, she is an Aggie.  It was a pleasure to photograph their wedding.  Although it rained most of the day it did not dampen the spirit of this special day.  Enjoy!  Charlie
