4th of July portraits

Heather — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 00:11:28 +0000

I spent the 4th of July in Austin with Emily, Sara, and Sara’s boyfriend Kevin. We went to the lake, ate a ton of food, visited my grandma, and watched fireworks over the lake from a parking garage near where I used to work. It was a great day!

Portraits of my family

My amazing grandma turned 90 last month. I made her a photo book using Apple’s Aperture program with photos from throughout her life and letters from friends and family (hence the lack of pictures for the last few months!) for her birthday. I didn’t have any good recent pictures of her with my immediate family, so I set up a photo shoot over the 4th of July weekend.

I used the last image of Grandma alone on the last page of her book:

Portraits of Sara using the Photek Softlighter II

Just before the 4th of July, I got the Photek Softlighter II. I love the Softlighter! It is very easy to set up and gives off gorgeous soft light. Sara let me try it out on her before taking portraits of my family. She’s always a great model and we have lots of fun with her photos.

We took a stroll by Town Lake with Sara when Em and I were in Austin and stopped for a few pictures.

Bluebonnets!

The bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes were out in full force when we were in Austin last month! Spring has definitely sprung in central Texas!

Downtown Houston / Galveston portraits

Em and I took a bunch of pictures in downtown Houston and on the beach in Galveston a couple of weeks ago.

Screaming Sunday

I got to see Screaming Sunday rock on New Year’s Eve! They were awesome!

Zivney family portraits

I took portraits of Lindsay, Derek, and their six-month-old Adelyn last weekend. We started out indoors with some studio shots, and then moved to Clear Lake Park later in the afternoon when the light was nice. It was cold but Adelyn had fun rolling around in her cute bear ear coat!

Emily in Austin

When we were in Austin in October, I took a few pictures of Emily downtown and at the Capitol at night.

Erin’s downtown Austin portraits 2

After we finished at the blue tile wall, we headed over to the Blanton Museum of Art. Unfortunately the yellow tubing sculpture/art installation was gone, but there were some great columns outside the museum to take pictures by.
