“Keep Austin Weird”

I just got back from a fabulous weekend in Austin–me–along with 25 other photogs from all over the country met there to do nothing but…photography!  I was in heaven.  :)  I learned some new techniques, post-processing secrets, and spent the entire time talking about photography.  Some of the local photogs found friends and family to be our models–NONE OF THEM ARE PROFESSIONALS, and after you see these pictures you will not believe it–cause I didn’t.  I have a ton of photos to get through–but here are some favorites.  ”Keep Austin Weird” is the city’s slogan–you see it everywhere–bumper stickers, signs, doors, etc.  I agree–let’s keep it weird–it is a great city.  Thank you to Brianna and all my new friends!

We did all urban shots–finding the best alleys, dumpsters, textures, that  downtown Austin had to offer–notice the fun-vibrant clothing our models are wearing and how FUN Urban sessions can be!    This picture is a sample of what we did all weekend–from my eyes.

and here is my photo.  These two are dating and in highschool–so sweet.  Oh, young love.  

another viewpoint…

This is my new pal Nicole–with our model, Hannah.  She is a natural and I think enough of us convinced her she needs to start modeling!!

and here is Hannah and a few others.

I’m sure I will have more soon…
