Claire Bridals

Claire was wonderful to work with. The first picture was her choice for the large print at her wedding. Not a typical bridal, and I love it. I met Claire and Greg as guests at another wedding I was shooting last year. Then met with them in person, took their engagement photos, her bridals and their wedding this past month, I feel like we've become friends beyond just a client-photog relationship. Additionally, Claire's sister has become on of my good friends and will actually be a bridesmaid for Sarah in our wedding next month.

Caitlin Seniors

Caitlin is in the same graduating class as I was.
We both graduated from UNT yesterday.

The colors were extremely strang on this day. It was the day where there were all those fires west of town. The sky was orange and it was really windy. I think we were able to manage it alright. My fill flash made things really blue due to the off white balance day, so I didn't use it ofter. You can tell in some shots, but no biggy.











We had a lot of fun at her ranch. I even got to ride her horse. I love my job.

Spring Break Snowboarding

I took a snowboarding road trip with three friends over spring break. Yes, that was March, but these photos were not on my top priority list. And waiting for the conclusion of the Dallas Mavs - Denver Nuggets NBA western conference semi-finals series... I wanted to hold off showing my love for the city and state. See some of the photos below.


Self-Timer photo. That me to the far left, then Ryan aka "Fup", Nick and David. Cadillac Ranch. Amarillo, TX


We drove and then hiked to the top of a Volcano in New Mexico. Breathtaking view.


Arrived in Denver. We stayed at Jennifer's house. A good friend from our high school days. This is Jaxson, her little boy.


We made our usual stop at the Original Chipotle in Denver. They gave us a tour. Here we are in the basement signing our names, with permission of course.


Fup on the slopes. We didn't pull the camera out too much while boarding. Shame on us.


We did however build a mini-ramp at night for a photo-op. This was a full group effort, but mostly by Ryan. haha.


It was a bad idea. really dark, really icy. Fup went down early, so I didn't get a chance to shoot him. This is me, photo by nick, with my makeshift strobe set up. We were happy enough to call it quits after this shot.


Fup did however get to show his skills for the camera on our way home via kick scooter.


In his hardcoreness, he then proceeded to break the scooter. Fup, you still owe me one! haha.

Staying in Denton - Big News

This post is mostly personal, but relative.

For those of you who don't know, I graduate just a few days from now from the University of North Texas with Bachelor of Arts and Sciences.. cum laude! I'm pretty excited about it. I will continue in my photograph full time for my own companies. Many of you knew this already, the exciting news is...

Sarah, my fiance, received a job offer with the Denton ISD today. She will be taking it, and we'll continue to live in the Denton area, a suburb north of Dallas / Fort Worth. This is great, seeing as my business has been established here for the past three years, and where my commercial market is.

Needless to say, we are so blessed. We both have each other and our dream jobs. I look forward to our lives together and to continue serving the DFW, Denton area.

Thanks for reading,

RIP circuit city

I realize this is from quite a while back this year, old photos and old news, yet it's still quite a historic moment. I felt obligated to go out and capture this time of economic downturn. Maybe it's because I'm a techie, but this store was quite significant to me.

It's funny how a company with such a great reputation sinks to the point of screaming "going out of business" as something exciting, people dancing with signs on the street, almost as if they're proud. God forbid, if that happens to my business, I might make a blog post, quietly find another job, and probably be a little embarrassed.

Jessica Maternity

Jessica Lewis and family. Jessica and her family are a good friends of my fiance's family. You might recognize them from previous photo shoots. They though they didn't want maternity shots but changed their mind last minute. Glad I could help.







Eli was born this last week:

Congrats

megan and siblings

Eureka Park, Denton, Texas.
Playgrounds are always fun to photograph at, particularly giant wooden playgrounds. I read an article in the NT daily about this park possibly being reconstructed as plastic. It would be a shame.







The girl on the right is pregnant, but not too far along. On most the shots, we tried to not make it too obvious, but by the end of the shoot we couldn't help but take a few belly rubbing shots. See in the video below.

Business cards

Ok, so I do have a few names I go by. The diversity keeps things exciting and fresh for me, and I feel that I have the portfolio to offer specialized photography in multiple areas. Anyway, I made these cards at the end of 2009, but I thought it would be something cool to post. Last year, I just had one card, now I can give an appropriate card to the kind of client I'm meeting with.

Jdonut Photography, LLC (commercial)





Carroll Portraits (portraiture)





Denton Wedding Photography, (weddings)





Dallas Aerial Photography (aerial photo and video)





Jonny Carroll (me)

This is the card and website that ties everything together. With so many different names, I figure something like this is necessary.

Thanks for looking.
