Facebook Deactivation ...?!?!

My account has been disabled by an administrator, without warning and without explanation. If you don't see me on there, that is why.

I'm bewildered, I've emailed them twice now, called, and still no reply. From researching online, this doesn't seem uncommon... Hopefully I will be back up and running. There were so many photos, messages, posts, notes, and memories in that network that would be so horrible to loose forever. Not to mention the social networking, friends and contacts I've made and met, etc.

I'm really hoping for it back or at least an explanation. I honestly did not knowingly violate any terms and am very regretful if I did violate any of their terms.

Be pulling for me / my account.
Let this also be a lesson to everyone to never put all your faith into technology.

Josh and Amber Smith

Being a senior in college, it's not uncommon for me to cover a wedding where the all the wedding party is about your age. That was the case here, and it seemed like Brad (my second shooter) and I were instantly everyone's buddy.

















The wedding was at Richardson Civic Center. A very familiar place to me. I grew up going there for seminars my dad would put on, and additionally I have a picture permanently hanging at the public library right there from a contest I won back when, I even had a gallery showing there. To top it off, Santa's Village was going on a the time, a place I would go as a child and play. There were plently of fun houses and christmas lights to play with now as a photographer.

Erik and Brandi improv e-session.

These are my college roommates. Yes, it's a little strange living with an engaged couple, but they're great roommates. I gave them a photoshoot in exchange that they take care of the lawn. haha. no joke.

We started with some 'in studio' shots, which happens to be the living room when fully set up.

Then we walked to the park. On the way, there's this swing in front of someone's house. We've all always wanted to swing on it. Brandi got to.




Yes, they have a dog, but this is not theirs. This was a dog we found at the park. And ultimately had to take home and put 'found dog' signs up.



The shoot wouldn't be complete without some backyard trampoline action. The shoot ended when the found dog, bit my dog, right after this photo.

Email was down!!! AWE!

To anyone and everyone who tried to contact me via email the past nine days. I've just realized my emails were down. Every single email address associated with my domain names. my gmail, unt.edu, and yahoo mail all still worked so I just didn't realize.

This is 100% my fault. I changed all my sites to a new faster and more reliable server and in the processes overlooked how it would change my email addresses. I'm very sorry. If you sent me an email. I don't have it... Please contact me again. I look forward to hearing from you.

Well, I'm long past due on a real solid update, instead of the jump link, on this post I've included tons of pictures for my lovely readers. I promise I'll started updating better.




























As a side note, this was my first wedding with the 5D mk II camera. The same camera that photographed Obama's official white house portrait. ... and I love it!!

Comedy Duo

Performers: Andy and Joleen Mullins are
"Takin a break from sex"

which is the title of their new sketch comedy.

Ring shot: they are relatively newly weds, met in the theater. They started their own show.
Andy “6’5” vs. Joleen “5’3”




This was my personal favorite from the shoot.

leaf fight!

Meet the Sicking Family.

Jaymie (top left) was great in the shot, she kept watching her shadow and would move her arm to prevent a bad lens glare for me.




After the jump and before the leaf flight.

Kara loved the camera.

New Websites

so I've reworked the portfolios and design of two of my sites.
jdonut.com is now just for commercial and art work.




Denton wedding photography is my wedding portfolio. I've added two galleries, bridal and engagement to that site.



I'm trying to keep these two very separate portfolios. They involve some of the same photo equipment, but that the only thing similar. The commercial and consumer world of photography are so very different. Both have their ups and downs and require different approaches to photography and business. I love the challenge of and the ability to work in both areas. For now.

New Years Resolution

to give more energy and have a more upbeat attitude while working on location.

to take some time away from business to create art (just for me) every once in a while.

to take more shots with the pocket camera, document life just like it is.
