Jimmy & Vanessa (and Family) | Austin, TX
It’s been awesome getting to know Vanessa and Jimmy over the last few years, and we had an amazing time taking their engagement pictures and soon-to-be family pictures earlier this month. They’re so much fun! Thankfully, it didn’t get too hot this afternoon, and we were able to enjoy Butler Park without completely melting. First, we did some family pictures, then split off from the kids for the engagement shots. We were so excited to hear about their engagement and can’t wait to photograph the wedding too. Congrats!
Best of 2012 | Artistic
FINALLY! You thought it would never come – the final chapter of the “Best of 2012” series is finally here. These are a selection of photos that didn’t fall into the previous categories of “People” or “Places,” so I thought that “Artistic” was a good title. I’ve already taken a bunch of great pictures in 2013 (at least I think so), and I’m really excited to see what the rest of this year holds for my photography. But for now, enjoy the conclusion of 2012 below!

Pennybacker Bridge | Austin, Texas
It’s been a while since I’ve done any HDR photography (which is simply a method of combining multiple bracketed images to create one image with a larger dynamic range than a normal photograph), but I just couldn’t help myself a few nights ago. As I’ve mentioned previously, I can’t stand when people use HDR to create some ridiculously phony looking picture (Google it), but that’s just personal preference. I like to utilize it in a minimal way to effectively re-create the image as I remember my eyes seeing it, since our eyes have significantly higher dynamic range than our cameras. Hopefully I was able to do that here. This is the Pennybacker Bridge – the portion of Capital of Texas Highway 360 that spans Lake Austin. You can see the skyscrapers of the Austin skyline peeking out over the horizon just to the left of the bridge in each photo. Enjoy!
