Abbi Walker {Commercial, Music, Portrait}

Last month I had the opportunity to shoot with Abbi Walker for her new EP releasing in a few months. We spent part of a day shooting in San Antonio and couldn't have asked for a better set of locations.

We started out in an abandoned granary near the Blue Star Arts Complex. The granary was literally being demolished that day and we arrived just in time to get a series of great shots before the wrecking crew showed up. After leaving there we ended up at Cowboys Dancehall where the rodeo arena was the perfect place to shoot. Abbi was great to work with on this shoot and a huge shout out goes to her sister, Kate, from Key Makeup Artist for doing the hair/makeup for this shoot. And of course we must not forget Allison, one of Abbi's best friends, who was the comic relief for the day...a must have for every shoot!

Abbi is very talented and I am looking forward to more projects in the future including a music video and her EP release....but until then you can check out some of her tracks at Reverb Nation.

Star Party 2012 {Music}

Earlier this month I had the opportunity to shoot the KJ97 Star Party and spend some time backstage with some up-and-coming country music artists. There's an adrenaline rush you get when shooting live shows...the energy, the crowd, the unexpected moments, the lighting...I love it!

This year's event featured: Jana Kramer, Kip Moore, Thomas Rhett, Casey James, Dustin Lynch and Love and Theft.

Joe Nichols and For the Love of Kids and Harleys {Music}

Last weekend I had the opportunity to shoot an event in San Antonio called "For the Love of Kids and Harleys." It is an annual event and 18 years running. The guest auctioneer for this year was Joe Nichols. The auction was followed by a live acoustic set. Great night for a great cause!

This year was the first annual KJ 97 Twango Tango event and it was a fun night of good country music. The artists were Tyler Farr, Florida Georgia Line and Colt Ford. Really liked having full stage access for this shoot!

KJ 97 Heartstrings Benefit Concert {Music}

Tuesday night I had the honor of shooting the Heartstrings Benefit Concert that San Antonio's KJ 97 Country station sponsors. The event was at Cowboys Dancehall in San Antonio. This event is a partnership with KJ97, For the Love of Kids and Harleys that raises money for children's charities. For more information about the event, check out the KJ 97 website.

The artists for the night were Aaron Watson, Wade Bowen, Jack Ingram, Randy Houser, Steve Holy and Rodney Atkins. It was an amazing and crazy fun night of music. Here are a few shots from the evening. The first photo is a group shot of the artists with KJ 97 DJs Travis Moon and Bree Wagner.

Additional photos can be seen on KJ's site and the meet-greet photos with fans are online as well.

Dve - Local Music Duo in Georgetown {Portraits}

Matt Graves and Lacee Sills have joined together to create beautiful music and they call themselves "Dve", which is Czech for two. Both are accomplished musicians in their own right and together they sound great. They recently asked me to shoot some PR images and gave me creative freedom...
