This is Gavin

I have this ability to be able to remember the name of almost any kid I meet.  I don't remember most adults' names but kids' names just stick for some reason.  It came in really handy when I taught preschool music to about 90 + kids.  Anyway, that said, this is a picture of Gavin and his mommy.  I'm sure his mom told me her name but I just have no idea what it is.  Sorry.  This is another one from the wedding weekend.  He is a cutie.

The Bride and Groom

I'm making my way through lots of wedding pictures from last weekend.  Here's one I just finished and I really like the way it turned out.  I love the back or her dress.

Senior Announcements

I am now offering Senior Announcements.  I can't take credit for designing these.  I can only take credit for taking the pictures.  I purchased these editable PSD templates today from lch Photography Design.  They're pretty cool.  Since this is my first year to do senior pictures, I haven't been swamped with seniors.  I expect the 2009 graduates to keep me busy.  Here are a few examples of the announcements I purchased.  I really like the designs that these people produce.  I'm sure I'll be buying lots more stuff from them in the future.  

Connor man

I'm finishing up the last of the editing for this family and I just had to put this one on.  This is Connor and he's a mess, but he sure is cute.  

Our Easter Boys

Wedding Day Highlights

Congratulations Morgan and Jessica!!

On Saturday I had the privilege of photographing a wedding.  It was a really long, fun, nerve-racking, and memorable day.  Phillip and I left our house at 7:00 a.m. and got back home at 11:20 p.m.  I think I held the camera for about 7 hours straight....and that thing is heavy.  It was a lot of fun.  The couple and the family members were so down to earth and hospitable.  

Here a few highlights from that day.  Of course most of my favorites have kids in them.  I guess that makes sense.  

A couple more from Thursday evening

Those beautiful kids I posted previously also have some pretty cute parents and a dog...actually two dogs but one wasn't in the mood for pictures.  So, here are a couple more.  I really like the one of everybody.  I just love the feet all over the place.  

On a completely unrelated side note, I'm doing my first "real" wedding tomorrow.  And I'm really excited about it.  So, check back Sunday or Monday for some wedding shots.  

Beautiful Kids

Here are a few pictures from a family shoot I did this evening.  You can tell that little red head is a rascal even if you didn't know him.  Thanks, guys!  Love the house!

Sarah Grace

Here are a couple of recent pictures of our friends' daughter, Sarah.  She is so cute and absolutely hilarious.

Jeff - Senior 2008

Hey Jeff, congratulations on getting out of high school and into Texas A&M.  Here are a few of Jeff's senior pictures.  And a few with the rest of the family.  Thanks, guys.  I had fun almost losing my flip flops on the train tracks.  

*mental note - get some hiking boots*

Heather - Senior 2008

Here are a few from Heather's senior shoot. Thanks, Heather. You're gorgeous!

Baby Jackson

Here are a few pictures of Jackson and his mommy and daddy.  Man, Jackson, what a great name!  His expression in the third one is so funny.  

The adoption date

We finally have an adoption date for our youngest son.  On April 7th @ 9:00 a.m., he will officially be Micah Benjamin Hintze.  We are so excited.  Then I won't have to only post pictures of him running away, which he does quite well by the way.  He's got quite a beautiful little face and I can't wait to share it with the world.  

More of Jackson

We played outside yesterday and I took a few pictures.  Jackson seems to be wearing this brown shirt quite a bit in pictures.  Not quite sure why, just coincidence,  I guess.  

Once our youngest is officially adopted in April you'll be seeing a lot more of him on this blog. I'm not supposed to post pictures of him online until he's adopted.  That's been quite a challenge and I've tried to get away with posting a few here and there that don't show his face.

Kidnapped

I kidnapped a friend's daughter this afternoon to test out a new lens.  Thanks for hanging out and posing for some pics, Tori.
