I recently made a special trip to Tulsa to attend the Tulsa Cattle Baron’s Ball. If you are not aware of this amazing fund raiser it is a wonderful one to get involved with as well as it is really fun to attend. My husband and I have been supporters of the Dallas Cattle Baron’s Ball for several years now. It supports the American Cancer Society, in fact it is the largest fund raiser that this organization has. Everyone’s life has been touched by cancer and so I strongly believe that we need to do everything we can to help find a cure! I have very good friends who helped put the Tulsa Ball on and we were honored to attend after all of their hard work.
I also had the opportunity to shoot a family I had been dying to shoot. I typically do not travel to shoot – except to Florida in JULY. It is not that I am not interested in travel, but I am usually so busy here, it is hard to break away to shoot elsewhere. Every now and then you meet someone who has such an affinity for good photography, you want to shoot them. These people are every photographer’s dream clients. They get what you are doing, your style, your art. They don’t want to tell you what to do, they want you to do what you feel will be best. This person trusted me to capture her children as they are, not forced to smile and all look at the camera, but to capture her children and their love for each other- like I said – she is a dream! I know my style is not for everyone – but when you find a client who wants you for you – I was just about willing to fly anywhere to shoot her!
Meet Reed, Walker, and sweet Ellie.
