Taylor had been itching to get together for a shoot again. So ,we shot these in a super secret location. Grass was tall and green. Plenty of shade for a natural light photo session. Downside is that it’s outdoors and there were plenty of insects. And Houston summer heat to boot.

Also, check out her new tattoo!

I guess it’s not really new…actually it’s not real anyways. Here’s the real one…

Not as cool as the other one

Couple more:

I guess I really should go mow the grass in my backyard…

The first movie I think of when I hear the word “Baseball” is Major League. Not Field of Dreams, Bad News Bears, The Natural, or countless other movies. I’m kinda glad it was Mike and Suzy that that created these images because I don’ think Aaron would have been able to handle all the movie references…

Aaron came into the studio with Jorden, one of our Senior Reps. I’ll post images of Jorden a bit later They are both from Sweeney, which has really amazed us with quality of people out of that tiny little town. Needless to say, Aaron plays baseball for the Sweeney Bulldogs.

Here are a couple of samples.

Just read that there was an earthquake in San Diego. I hope all our friends, family and fellow photographers are OK out there.

Well Cody and I along with Suzy Roberts headed down to The GREAT TEXAS SKEETER FESTIVAL in Clute, Texas to enjoy a little food, fun, drinks and Texas Country Music. Needless to say Suzy was a little, how should I say this, ok SCARED being her first true and honest Texas Redneck event. I mean sure there are Redneck everywhere in the world but if you have ever experienced a Texans Redneck event its just something different about it.

And boy did She experience it….

So we started off having to get seriously the world best Lemonade I have ever had, and it better had been for $5 bucks a cup! The guy hand made it, meaning no machine to squeeze the juice, no machine to shake all the sugarary goodness together, only his hands, and for some reason he had this weird statue outside his stand that Suzy just had to get a photo with.

So thinking I was in heaven already with this amazing goodness of sugar delight in my mouth, I turned around and saw Steak on a Stick and knew yes knew Heaven awaited just a few steps away!

After some tasty goodness of steak and lemonade we had to show Suzy just what Texas is made of so of course that meant getting FREE Smokeless Tobacco just by signing some paperwork, Suzy was quite impressed to say the least – I mean just look at her free gifts, ain’t the cancer causing tobacco companies nice in giving away such healthy treats!

Of course I failed to meantion the entire time we are doing all of this, Suzy is admiring all the trashy women walking around in to short skirts and other too tight clothing on women who should never be wearing that sort of thing.

“Picture Removed to spare the eyes of the viewer of this blog, TriCoast loves ya so we simply could not show it”

So onward we went, absorbing every ounce of what the Great Texas Skeeter Festival had to offer us Trio of photography artists. Onward and onward until we spotted this amazing sign that simply stopped us in our tracks:

Of course Suzy just had to try it, I mean come on as one young lady said in the line just in front of me, “They sell it right, it has to be gooooood for ya” (say it in your deepest Texas slang to get the full effect of that statement). So Suzy got one and I must admit it was GOOOOOOD GOOOOOOD GOOOOOOOD

I mean just look at my girl go, lovin’ every ounce of that amazing treat that only the food Gods of the universe could give such amazing nectar to us Texans as this Mighty fine Festival!!

Suzy enjoying it so much she has the “Deer in the headlight look”

The final result of the Fried P&J

So now that we had our bellies full of Homemade $5 Lemonade, Steak on a Stick (sounds like Jeff Dunham don’t it) and Fried P&J it was time to head over to the convert venue for a little Kevin Fowler, Texas Country Rock Star!

Of course there was Cody showing off his Straw trick abilities, actually I am not sure what in the heck Cody was doing but I had to take a picture of it right, I mean that is what we do for a living!

And then there is Cody with his new short hair and no chop look, making him look about 18 and the lead singer for either Panic of the Disco or better yet the heart throb Jonas Brothers (you let me know which one you think since Disney should be calling any day now)

FINALLY after all of this amazing Redneckness (is that a word) we got to enjoy the main reason we came – Kevin Fowler sponsored by Belgium Owned Budweiser Beer (figure that one out)and the best country radio station in Houston Texas KILT

(Professional Photographer Notice) All photos taken with our Canon S70 Point in Shoot since we wanted to enjoy the night and not just photograph it so roughly what I am trying to say these photos are horrible but fun none the less

A few shots from the most redneck show in Suzy’s life

And for the final part of the pretty much meanenless blog entry (just my style ain’t it) a video, captured with the S70 by Suzy Roberts of well Kevin Fowler, I hope you enjoy it and please let Suzy know what you think by leaving a message.

You know traveling all the time with work can get pretty old, downright crazy sometimes. Living from hotel to hotel never knowing where you are, always living out of your suitcase, well needless to say when I saw this video from TriCoast’s good friend and truly one of the most talented videographer in the country, Josh from Cinematic Bride I just had to laugh.

Check out Josh being bored in the middle of the night I promise its worth the 5 or so minutes of your life!

Oh and also check out Josh’s website for some AMAZING art, truly he is an artist in every sense of the word!
