Far Star

I had the awesome opportunity to shoot for a friend of mine. She has a beautiful horse and I have always loved horses, so the combination was epic. Enjoy!

Shelby and a lovely chair

I love my niece and I loved this chair. Combine the two and you get an amazing photo shoot. I am struggling with the decision to pursue a my master's in fine arts with an emphasis on photography and the chair was part of that experiment. I'm still undecided about what to do.

My sweet niece wanted her pictures taken because she has been through hell since March. On the first day of spring break she was in a car accident and broke her neck. Obviously, she survived but not without a pain staking recovery. Several months in a neck brace as well as a surgery to correct the damage. She is living proof that God does work miracles. It was my pleasure to shoot these images for her after everything she's been through.
Also, a huge thanks goes to Amber Strickler, who loaned me the chair. You can find Amber's work at: http://www.zaseyphotography.com/ whose work is far more superior than mine. I am diligently working hard to become as talented as she is. 

Ad Lib Apparel Shoot

Had a great opportunity to shoot with an up and coming photographer in Houston, Chloe James, on a fashion photo shoot recently. It was an exhausting shoot, which I was only able to stay for half. The ladies were awesome to work with and it was truly an amazing experience. AdLib Apparel is a new clothing company designed for women. You can find their goodies here: http://www.wearad-lib.com/ You can find Chloe James' blog'tography at: http://aliciapickensphotos.blogspot.com

Here are a sample of the images I shot from the shoot that day.

AdLib does not sell these shoes I just loved them. These shoes are by GUESS.

Meet Madison Gerland

It was only appropriate to exchange the favor to my dear friend Madison Gerland for letting me use her horse, Koda, in Tara Brown's photo shoot to also give Miss. Madison some images as well. I have known Madison her entire life and she has grown into such a beautiful young lady. It was an honor and absolute pleasure getting this opportunity to capture a young girl I have watched grow up over the years.  

Meet Tara Brown

I was fortunate to meet this beautiful young woman through a website that joined us together. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Tara. She was fearless and willing to do whatever I asked. My vision for this photo shoot was to make it as organic as possible. Tara typically models high fashion and unique photography concepts. I wanted to shoot Tara's session very simple and elegant to showcase her diversity and natural beauty.

Thanks to Madison Gerland and  Mr. Bloodworth out at Diamond B Stables for the horse and shoot location.

Enjoy!

Sweet Baby O

I knew the day I was privileged to watch her come into this world that it was going to be such an amazing experience to see her grow and this photo shoot was a testament to that. Olivia is starting blossom and her parents are growing as well. Its a beautiful transformation you go through, becoming a parent. Its even more awesome to be a witness to.

Here is a little teaser from Olivia's shoot the other.
