Celebrating Life, Love and Family

I’ve been thinking about how much family really means alot lately. My own kids are almost grown and I get a little choked up thinking about how fast that has happened. Lucky for us, we have some really great family portraits that allow us to have a visual reminder of how we have grown and changed throughout the years. I take family portraits very seriously and know that each will be treasured for years to come! After 20 years in the business, many of my clients have shared to me how much an image that I took means to them. Memories are precious for sure!

Lately, I have been shooting high school seniors at my studio, in our garden, around town in Frisco and in downtown McKinney. The attached pics were done in McKinney during a “Super Safari” photo shoot and inside our studio in Frisco. The client ends up with a wonderful array of choices since we do BOTH indoor studio work and outdoor shots. Each style (indoors and outdoors) has its own benefit. Some may think they want only location stuff but ultimately they LOVE the indoor studio work and usually pick many of the indoor images as their favorites! Don’t make the mistake of choosing a photographer that does only outdoor stuff. I promise…..you will miss out on some amazing indoor images that only a skilled photographer who fully understands lighting and posing will be able to capture.

Most of the images you will see that I take are of people but I do enjoy scenics and I always have a camera on me. Recently, I took this image of the water tower near my home in McKinney. McKinney was recently honored as the #2 city to live in the USA. What a amazing honor!

I love shooting faces and concentrating on eyes. This portrait captures her beautiful blue eyes. We love it!

It’s been a great year at Innovative Images thanks to all the amazing high school seniors we have photographed. We wish them all the best of luck as they enter a new and exciting phase of life. The McKinney Boyd senior in the pic below will be playing baseball in college and we wish him success and happiness!

One thing that will never go out of style is an exceptional black and white portrait. Properly lit and composed, it can be very dynamic. I use a different lighting style when creating black and white portraits that yields dramatic results. Call me to schedule your black and white family/individual or children’s portrait shoot in MARCH and the session will be only $20 during normal business hours.
