Hi there! Welcome to my "somewhat frequently - if you dont count the 2-4 week sabaticals I normally take"- BLOG! I recently put an invisible counter up and much to my surprise found out that some people actually visit here. Sooooo I decided to try to become a little more dedicated to keeping everyone up to date! Ofcourse, you will find mostly photos from weddings, session or events, but every once and a while you will get some jewel of extremely useless personal information! What can I can its my blog and I can do what I want to! Just a fore-warning, much to my husband's and many friends/clients dismay I am a horrible speller/typer. So there will , I promise, but many typos and awful awful grammar (my English Degree husband cringes). HAHAHA! Once again... you'll just have to deal with it! Enjoy the BLOG and P.S. tell me what you think in the comments. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.... but mostly the Good!

IF YOU DON'T SEE THE PHOTOS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR SCROLL DOWN... STILL DONT FIND THEM CHECK THE ARCHIVES!

Hav a fabulous day!

Allison


I haven't met very many gals as talented as Allison...and ummm well B-UTIFUL! Allison is a senior at Midland Christian who is on her way to many things. She has a love and passion for fashion...oh look I'm a poet and I didn't know it!!!! She has designed her last two formal dresses and they are amazing! One day I'll be photographing famous models in Allison designs! On top of style she's also a swanky tennis player...even in the dark when she can't see the ball....hahaha! She let me drag her all over Midland and the sun went down before I was done but we had a blast until then anyway! I did sang a few images of her and cutie sis too...but those will be another post soon! Thanks Allison for trusting me and going where ever I wanted! One day you'll have to help me shop and figure out the whole style thingy...accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! HAHA!

Taryn


Man the Seniors this year are rockin' my world. I have never really sought out that end of photography but this year there has been a lot of interest and I am so glad to have the oppurtunity! When Taryn's sister talked to me about her senior pics I was uber excited! The ideas started flowing. And although we didnt get to use all of my ides (we didnt have 12 hrs to shoot) I had a great time. Brailie (sp?) her sweet baby girl is great. A ton of energy kept us from get her sitting smiling at the camera very often but having alot of energy myself I appreciate her zest for life... I like that the photos we did get show her for who she is! And Taryn, with eyes that can look right through you, is stunning! I am loving it! Thanks guys for coming all the way down to Lubbock (eve if it was more for George than me!!!!) Ya know what .... SENIORS ARE FUN!!!!!!!!

Jennifer & Nathan ~ Love is Fun


I am not really going to say much about these two...not because they are bumps on logs but rather because their photos don't need me to, they say it all! I have been looking at the processes of "branding" yourself and I have been trying Because Life is Fun (because it is)... and then I am looking back through the images to blog...and there it is... the epitome of FUN... LOVE. I am going to have so much real FUN with these guys in May. It was so great to have so many throw your head back and laugh laughs we no prompting or guidance from me... thats just not me. Instead they had FUN and I photographed it...whoo hoo! I can't wait and ya know they are pretty OK looking too...can we say portfolio...hahaha! Thanks Nathan for getting away to the Great State of Texas for a few days. I love you guys... (my stomach still hurts from all the muscles I had to use cracking up laughing). Have a FUN day!

LOGO

SO check out the logo on Keegan's pics below and give me your honest opinion! Come on I can take it... Im not a graphic person so its a shot in the dark anyway. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think!

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEGAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Picture a big announcer like at one of the huge sporting events or better yet theatrical production (OK YES I KNOW THEY DONT ANNOUNCE LIKE THAT AT THE THEATER)... that we West Texans know all too well!

Well incase you are not sure this is Keegan... I know coolest name ever, thats what I said! Keegan's mom is MAKING him take senior pics so because she MADE him he decided that I was cool enough to do the job! WHOO HOOO I'm in like Flin! I dont get the opportunity to shoot many guy seniors and its such a shame for me since ALL my friends in high school were dudes! I know you feel my pain...anywho I think it is safe to say that we had a BLAST! IF the freak storm wouldn't have blown in I would have drug him around town for hours (well alot more hours than I already did)!!!! Dont get me wrong though I was pumped to see the sky that came with the freak storm!

Well DUDE I truly enjoyed laughing at you... I mean with you...and you are right you are just awesome enough to get to hang out with such a rocking chick like me!!!!!

PS thanks Tammy & Rick for MAKING him do this, terrorizing your son was the highlight of my year!

I will be working while I'm there so all you peeps who wanted to do family sessions, maturnity and seniors give me a shout! i know this is short notice but isnt EVERYTHING with me? I would love to shoot you or have coffee/lunch! Email me if interested! (toni@tonidaniel.com)
