I had the privilege of shooting Val & Dustin’s engagement portraits yesterday and we had a great time! It’s hard to believe that my baby sister is getting married in a few months! Valerie is also pursuing professional photography, so if you’re in the College Station area… We had so much fun finding cool places to shoot and hanging out together, and I am so very happy for them! Congrats, Sister and Brother-in-law-to-be!

I was driving down the highway today and saw the first patch of bluebonnets. There were only about 10 of them in a tiny little patch, but they were there! It inspired me to take a long drive and kinda get away from things, if only for an hour or so. I love this time of year and all that it brings. Cool weather, grilling in the back yard, brightly colored dishes and patio furniture… I feel very blessed.

I always get quite a few requests for “bluebonnet portraits” this time of year, and I’ve always found them a little bit — tired, I guess. EVERYONE has pictures of their kids sitting in the middle of the bluebonnets, you know? It’s all the same. However, I think I’ve got some really cool bluebonnet pictures coming up. Here are a couple from last year.

Last fall, I did some family portraits for some friends of ours. They have two kids who are always very compliant and completely delightful! Well, of course, when I pull the camera out, they start being all kinds of silly and I don’t know if we got any “normal” shots (not that I usually go for “normal” but I at least try to get a couple). So I had the idea to crop all the funny faces that the kids were making and create a collage for Father’s Day. It turned out FANTASTIC. Kids really are amazing. The funny faces are so THEM Who wants all that “posed” stuff anyway?!

This is amazingly fun (or perhaps I am just easily entertained). You must try. www.jacksonpollock.org0
