Rebecca Powers is the founder of Impact Austin, a philanthropic organization dedicated to helping others by providing grants. In 2008 alone, they awarded 5 grant recipients $102,000 each for their projects!

This shoot was a cover story of Rebecca’s work, featured in the October issue of Austin Woman magazine.

I had the great opportunity to shoot at the University of Texas football field recently. The shoot featured Sally Brown (wife of football head coach Mack Brown) and Marcus Tubbs, who played football at U.T. and then went on to play for the Seattle Seahawks before returning to U.T. to work in their Athletic program.

Sally is writing an article for Austin Woman magazine about what she’s learned from the players – Sort of a ‘top 10′ list.

It was a great honor to spend time on the field – the stadium was empty, and the day was beautiful. Even though we were only out there for about 20 minutes, it goes down as one of my favorite shoots ever! In addition to the field shots, we also made it into the Trophy Room and the Player’s Lounge.

Look for the piece in the October issue of Austin Woman magazine!

Saturday was my second Headshot Shootout, and it was a blast. Literally a blast – the wind was absolutely crazy! We started at the same office building we shot at last time, but this time we got kicked out. Apparently, a wedding was about to take place. Who gets married at an office building at 10 in the morning? We never saw a bride, or a groom for that matter. :)

So, we headed up to street level and knocked out some shots, and they came out great! Big props to my assistant Chris, as well as my friend Ben, who came by to just say hello and ended up being put to work.

While we were shooting, a bike race was happening, and I caught this shot of Lance Armstrong riding by.
