Mills Family Portraits

Last week I shot Brian Mills' Family portraits. Brian is the Youth Pastor at Second Baptist Church and does a great job. I had a lot of fun hanging out with Brian, Jennifer, McKenna, and Parker. Please let me know if you are interested in portraits for your family! bddavis33@gmail.com

Tyler and Aimee Are Getting Married!

My good friend Tyler Hennessee proposed to his girlfriend Aimee last week and I got the honor of shooting the entire event. Tyler planned a day-long scavenger hunt for Aimee which culminated in him "popping the question" in the worship center at Second Baptist Church. I hid in the worship center and was able to take pictures at the event. Here are a couple of pictures from the night:

Georgia at LSU

I had the privilege of shooting my Alma Matter, the University of Georgia, as they traveled to Death Valley to take on the LSU Tigers. Baton Rouge is only about 4.5 hours away from Houston, so I was able to make a day trip to the game. Linebacker Darryl Gamble (50) and running back Knowshon Moreno (24) were the stars of the game.
Gamble had two interceptions which were both returned for touchdowns.
Moreno had 163 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Matthew Stafford (7) also connected with freshman A.J. Green (8) for a touchdown.

Bengals at Texans

Sunday I covered the Cincinnati Bengals vs. Houston Texans game at Reliant Stadium. I got some good game action, which was a lot more difficult than usual. My primary camera (Canon Mark II) is not usable at the moment because of some focusing issues it is having. I shot the game with a Canon 20D which is a good camera, but not one meant for shooting professional sports. Here's a photo from the game:
I took a little bit different approach at shooting the pre-game introductions at this game. I usually try to shoot players as they run out to the field. Sunday, I focused on shooting the players as their names were called. This allowed me to capture them in the smoke before they began to run. I was pretty satisfied with the results. Here are a couple:
