Austin Monthly Home – Fall 2012

09-27-2012

I had the pleasure of photographing the home of Kimber Cavendish, owner of Kimber Modern, for the Austin Monthly Home Fall issue. I loved Kimber’s home and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to hear her daughter Kenna and her friend Finley play the piano and sing during the shoot. There’s a really interesting story about this house and some serious mold remediation that was done after Kenna suffered from years of debilitating illness. This family has really been through it all and has come out on the other side for a happy ending!

I also photographed two homes for a feature on landscape design. The first was with Big Red Sun who created a really inviting play space anchored by rust colored planter boxes with a wide variety of plants and succulents. The second home was with David Wilson Garden Design who created a private oasis complete with a gorgeous pool and large entertainment area.

Here are a couple of outtakes from the shoots that I really loved.

Austin Monthly Home – Summer 2012

07-12-2012

I photographed the homes of Clayton Christopher and Lora Reynolds for the Austin Monthly Home Summer Edition. Clayton Christopher owns Deep Eddy Vodka and he recently had a very lovely Mexican hacienda style home built that seemed to suit him perfectly. Lora Reynolds is an art gallery owner in Austin and she had really vibrant and interesting touches throughout her contemporary style home. Both shoots were great and I enjoyed getting to photograph both of these beautiful homes.

Austin Monthly – July: Cover and Feature

07-10-2012

Really excited to share the tear sheets from my cover and feature story shoot for Austin Monthly‘s July issue. The issue feature is on Austin’s “15 Most Popular Neighborhoods.” The cover shoot featured Springdale Farm owners Paula and Glenn Foore. It was such a pleasure to photograph these two and they really made us all feel welcome and at home. The Austin Monthly team helped to re-create the American Gothic inspired cover and I love the way it turned out. Six neighborhoods were featured in the interior and I had a great time getting to know everyone that I photographed.

Summer beach fun

06-25-2012

Went with my sweet to Sandestin, FL for some summer vacation fun. Took these images at Grayton Beach State Park. They had the most amazing trail that you entered through this arc of trees growing out of the sand. As you walked through the sand dunes it felt like you were transported into another world. It was amazing!
