I had the opportunity a few weeks to photograph a wonderful family. We spent a few minutes in the studio and then we headed over to explore Fair Park, just as they were preparing for the State Fair of Texas.
I am very excited to announce that I have found a studio! I am now working out of a 1600 sq ft studio in Deep Ellum.

So, life’s kind of in front of me, and my photography has really had to take a back seat for the last year. Fortunately, the past month and upcoming months are bringing lots of excitement. So many things to look forward to, some of which I can discuss here, and some I cannot.
Anyhow…I am starting to pick up the camera again, and have a few photo shoots lined up and are really excited for things to come.
Back before I shot at The Pin Show in 2010, I had been talking with a very talented local clothing designer about shooting a few of her pieces. Unfortunately we BOTH got busy and never got around to working together. So here I am over a year later and ready to start shooting again. Who emails me out of the blue asking if I want to shoot? None other than the amazing Verneccia LaShay.

Here are a few images from the shoot we put together. I am really excited to be shooting again.
I was honored to be among the other talented photographers given the opportunity to shoot The Pin Show 2010.
I got word a few weeks ago that I have been chosen to be one of the photographers at The Pin Show in Dallas on February 25th.
I have been chosen as the back-stage seamless/backdrop photographer. Basically, the models puts on their assigned outfit, come through my “photo booth” for a few pictures then proceed to the runway. They change clothes back stage then repeat.
This is the third year The Pin Show has taken place, this year’s show features 31 designers, two live photo shoots, and an on-site boutique. I am honored to be a part of this group of great designers, and to have been chosen along side so many other talented photographers.
From The Pin Show Website:
The Pin Show 2010 will take place on Thursday February 25th at the renewed Historic Union Station in downtown Dallas, TX. This fabulous Independent event will feature 31 independent fashion and accessory designers showcasing over 130 – 2010 looks on the runway. Beyond the runway you will witness live photo shoots on two styled sets, mingle with designers and even get the rare opportunity to purchase your favorite look right off the runway before it hits stores.
The Pin Show was founded by Independent Designers Rachel Nichelson and Julie McCullough Kim in 2007 to provide all emerging fashion industry designers, photographers, artists, stylists and retail buyers a profound launching platform for independent work in the fashion industry. Realizing that Dallas is a central hub for Fashion it only made sense to create this new avenue for the emergering talent in this industry that is located between New York and LA. The Pin Show will provide regional boutiques and buyers an opportunity to view these independent lines during one showcase and give them a chance to meet the designers personally to discuss future opportunities. In addition it will provide the public a unique fashion experience that is generally reserved for high end designers and their clientele. Retail buyers and reps will have the opportunity to see the latest lines from independent-regional designers and meet with them prior to the show at the VIP reception to discuss future business relationships.
The Pin Show is held annually with an attendance of 1200-1500 to allow independent designers to showcase their Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer lines during the winter buying season that retailers and buyers are looking to make such purchasing decisions.
Designers, Stylists, Make-up & Hair Artists, Photographers, Volunteers and respective Buyers are encouraged to visit the participate section of our website to find out how the can become involved.
Tickets to the event are available for Purchase HERE.
