Trevor: Lifestyle

A couple of weeks ago, Lisa and I took the opportunity to take some lifestyle shots of Trevor around the house. Things got really crazy shortly afterwards, and so I am just now getting around to posting these! But, I promise - he doesn’t look any different today versus a few weeks ago :)

Cloth diapers. Yuck.

This was taken with a 50mm 1.2 L lens from Ziplens.com! They rock!

Lauren + Michael: Married!

Yesterday, Lauren and Michael got married at the beautiful Rough Hollow Yacht Club in Austin! It was the first wedding at this new venue, and I am sure it will be booked for many more to come. While it had rained off and on throughout the day, the skies were clear for the ceremony and reception. It was also great to work again with Vivian and Kathie and their team from Austin Wedding Planners.

Let’s get to the shots! Here are some of my favs:

062208-1.jpg

Here’s Lauren, looking gorgeous hours before the ceremony!

062208-2.jpg

Michael was looking great and quite relaxed as well.

062208-3.jpg

062208-4.jpg

The cake was made up of a bunch of cupcakes - too cool! And quite tasty, I might add.

062208-5.jpg

As the sun started to set, we got some great shadows inside the main reception area.

062208-6.jpg

062208-7.jpg

This girl definitely had her dancing moves ready to go!

062208-8.jpg

This guy was hand-rolling cigars!

062208-9.jpg

Love this shot!!

062208-10.jpg

062208-11.jpg

I always do a shot with Vivian when we work together!

062208-12.jpg

062208-13.jpg

The view near this infinity pool was awesome!

062208-14.jpg

062208-15.jpg

Congrats to Lauren and Michael!

Brandon and Trevor, 9 Months Each

Ok all of you rabid Brandon and Trevor fans! I know you have a couple of days until your next therapy appointment, so here’s a little fix until then.


Here are shots of both Brandon and Trevor taken at 9 months old, using the same lighting, coloring, etc (well, “the same” meaning “the best that I can match it”). You can see a little of the shared features between them: the flared-out ears, the extraordinary physique, incredible jawbone structure and definition, etc.

Return of the Scream Queen

You may not know this, but one of my assistants, Indiana Adams, is also an excellent actress and screenwriter! If you live in Austin, you’ve probably seen her recently in some spa ads, and she’s also been on some episodes of Friday Night Lights.


She’s trying out for a new project related to her acting work, and she specifically needed some fun/scary/screamer type shots. We shot around the house today and came up with a couple of fun ones, and here they are. This qualifies as Episode 2 of the $0 Budget Shoot.


I think this one should be titled “He’s going to kill me? You’ve got to be kidding.”

061608-1.jpg

I was the hand model here.

061608-2.jpg

A little play on Janet Leigh:

061608-3.jpg

Ah, nothing to worry about. Crank the tunes!

Brandon Turns ** 3 ** !

Has it already been a year since the B-Man turned 2? Wow - well, he just turned 3 a few days ago, and what an awesome birthday it was! It started with a party a few days earlier at My Gym (sort of a souped-up Gymboree), and then on his actual birthday we headed to Red Robin, where we went last year!

First off, the coolest toy any parent could get their child - the official Rocket from Little Einsteins!! “Come aboard, get ready to explore, there’s so much to find, Little Einsteins”. Argh. Can’t get the song out of my head.

061508-1.jpg
061508-2.jpg

Brandon’s friend, Sammy:

061508-3.jpg

Sammy’s brother, Spencer.

061508-4.jpg

“What the hell?”, says Trevor.

061508-5.jpg

Why, it’s Prince Brandon, being drug around like a king on his birthday!

061508-6.jpg

“Dude. I am so stealing that hat and cape. I’m just sayin.”

061508-7.jpg

Brandon’s cousin, Stella, made a special appearance.

061508-8.jpg

Later in the week at Red Robin, dinner was followed with the ceremonial ice cream.

061508-9.jpg
061508-10.jpg
061508-11.jpg

“You will sing and dance while I eat ice cream!”

061508-12.jpg

For some comparison, here’s a shot as we left Red Robin on his 2nd birthday in 2007.

061508-13.jpg

And here’s this year’s version.

    Too Cute! Wish we could have been there. Give Brandon some big birthday hugs from the Long Family!

    Hope to see you ALL soon!

    Kelly & Family

    **Madeline says “Hi!” and says she wishes she could have been at that party :)

  3. Linda

    What an angel! The party at My Gym was fun, even for adults! The traditional actual b-DAY at Red Robin was fun too especially when Brandon was using crayons as a microphone to sing his songs! We look forward to Treasure’s first birthday. Maybe a ride on the train at Zilker so he can fall asleep?

  4. Tricia Hughes

    Sorry we had to miss his big birthday bash! It looks like he loved being the King! Lisa I had to do a double take (before I looked at the caption of the picture that is) of you pregnant! I quickly read and discovered it was last year at this time.

    We have Bman’s gift and it is burning a hole in the bag so we MUST get together soon!

  5. Denise

    I’m sorry Aunt Necee missed this one! Happy Birthday Little Man! Love ya bunches!

  6. Jennifer, Chris & Connor

    Looks like a lot of fun! Glad Brandon had a great 3rd Birthday. Trevor is getting so big. Take care.

  7. Pam

    Looks like great fun! Happy Birthday Brandon! Love and hugs to all!

Two For Tuesday

It’s Tuesday, and while we are all waiting on Apple’s iPhone announcements in a week, here’s a two-fer for you. These were both shot with the very excellent 50mm 1.2 L, loaned to me from the fine folks at Ziplens.com. I’ll be talking about their company and lens rentals in general on this week’s episode of Shoot The Baby.

Rich + Eleanor: Married

Yesterday, Rich and Eleanor got married at the Driskill Hotel in Austin! Everyone looked great, and there was some great dance action happening as well! Jenn and Amy from Your Very Own Fairy Godmother did an outstanding job keeping everything smooth. There were so many incredible parts to this wedding, so let’s get started!

The beautiful bride:

060108-1jpg

060108-2.jpg

Rich was looking great too:

060108-3.jpg

060108-4.jpg

Married!

060108-5.jpg

060108-6.jpg

*Loved* the lighting they had set up in this room!

060108-7.jpg

Eleanor’s father provided wonderfully carved seat cards, as well as the cake stand above, and numbers for all the tables! All of the wood came from his property, and the craftsmanship was excellent!

060108-8.jpg

The cake gods at the Driskill outdid themselves with this golf bag groom’s cake, complete with tags naming a couple of the big courses!

060108-9.jpg

Eleanor’s dad and her grandmother:

060108-10.jpg

A tender moment at the end of the generation dance:

060108-11.jpg

They had someone there making cigars for people on the spot! How cool is that?

060108-12.jpg

I love non-traditional group shots!

060108-13.jpg

Someone got ahold of Rich’s senior class picture, and I was dragged in (against my will, Rich) to take this shot.

060108-14.jpg

There was no end to the dancing action!

060108-15.jpg

060108-16.jpg

The band was a group called The Pictures, and they were excellent! I’ve never heard a band that can nail songs from different eras so perfectly!

060108-17.jpg

Rich got up on stage during the night and gave the crowd a rousing performance of ‘The Piano Man’!

060108-18.jpg

060108-19.jpg

Congratulations to Rich and Eleanor!!!

  11. Cindy

    Beautiful photos - incredible fun.

  12. Adriana, Mexican aunt of the couple

You Suck At Fitness

As part of the $0 Budget Photo Shoot I announced earlier, here’s the first image. It’s a shot of my trainer, Karyna. I’ve contemplated a couple of titles for this, including “Drop and Give Me 20″ and “Shut Up And Do What I Say” among others. Right now my favorite is “You Suck At Fitness”. :)

052708-1.jpg

This was shot with 4 lights - one on either side, one behind her, and one in front (a ringflash).

There are still slots open for the $0 Budget Photo Shoot. You just need some fun, energy, and excitement about doing something different! :)

    That’s cool, did you feel motivated after that?
    How about coming up and catching both boys moving in different directions at the same time– lots of energy there. I’ll be the one in the middle crying.

  2. Pam

    I love it! I feel like she is speaking directly to me! However, I am still not motivated! ;-)

A Family of 5

Fresh off the heels of yesterday’s wedding, I spent some time today with our good friends James and Laura and their 3 beautiful children! James is my official poker mentor, and he’s probably the reason that Lisa has a shirt that reads “Poker Widow”.

This is the first session to come off of Lisa’s Team-In-Training Fundraising Spectacular. It is getting quite hot now in Texas, so we like to do these shoots quick!

052508-16.jpg

How cute is this?


052508-17.jpg

Here I gave the kids instructions to ‘go jump on daddy’. Luckily daddy didn’t need a tylenol after this.


052508-18.jpg

052508-19.jpg

052508-20.jpg

What incredibly beautiful children!
