Southern Drive | Texas | Band Photographer

What a great show! If you haven't seen this band perform live before you are missing out. I had the privilege of photographing Southern Drive in an awesome little hole in the wall in Deep Ellum, Adairs Saloon, also something to check out. These guys are fun, and know how to get a crowd up and on the dance floor!

Baker Hotel | Mineral Wells | Road Trip Photography

The idea for a road trip to Minerals Wells' Haunted Baker Hotel first came to mind when I was surfing the beloved World Wide Web and came across a site that had some cool shots of the hotel. It was at that moment that I knew that eventually I wanted to photograph the haunted hotel myself. So I started researching (because I'm kind of a nerd like that). If you haven't heard or don’t know a lot about the Baker Hotel, and if this is your thing, you should check it out. (Just click on the hyperlink above, and it will take you straight to their website). Lots of fun history, and old pictures...and the best part of the website is the Virtual Tour which takes you on a journey through any room in the hotel.

Anyway, my friend, Mike, and I were talking and decided to take a road trip and, naturally, the Baker Hotel popped into my mind, and he went for it! Thus, a date was set and a few days later off we went. We collected a few more friends on the way and headed to Mineral Wells. The following is a compilation of images from our day! Enjoy!

After exploring as much of the hotel as we could get to, we stop by a local coffee house/video store near the hotel for some caffiene before out trek home...

.....oh and to catch up on the latest issue of Reader's Digest!

Claire | Southlake | Bridal Photographer

This girl is crazy! Where to even begin?!? Claire was so much fun to work with - great personality, easy-going, free spirited, willing to do anything and gorgeous to top it all off. A photographers’ dream! I met Claire at her home in Southlake where our adventure commenced. We began at a little pond she had found a few weeks earlier, then moved on to a small park closer to the town square which included this adorable, but petite, stream running through it. We finished up our shoot in Southlake Town Square and well....the photos tell the story!

I turned around for one second and...YES she was standing IN the pond!

'The Look' - totally up to something!

Just a little closer...

And yes folks! She is most definitely in the fountain!

Yes, the security cops did indeed show up and proceeded to joke and laugh with us. Thanks Claire for an eventful day! :)
