Silent Partner

Meet Cindy, my beautiful wife. We keep talking about her branching off into Wedding Planning one of these days, but for now she provides unbelievable behind-the-scenes support to keep our Wedding Photography business going. All that while home schooling our 4 kids. Phew! My two careers are a breeze in comparison!

Wildlife Photography

This charity assignment was to create images for a promotional brochure and possible banner for Friends of Texas Wildlife (FOTW) to be used in their fund-raising campaigns.  Not exactly wedding work.  I am lucky to live on 6 acres with lots of deer, racoons, opossum, and other critters who are used to co-existing with people and not very skittish.   I thus have a natural affinity for non-profits such as FOTW, which I support through volunteer photography work and proceeds from sales of these images.  You can learn more about FOTW at http://FriendsOfTexasWildlife.org.  These images are available for purchase directly from Schneider Weddings; 100% of all profits go to providing food and other necessities for the injured/orphaned animals cared for by FOTW.  Contact me using the Contact link on the top menu for further instructions.

Happy Birthday Sarah!

Happy Birthday to Sarah Karimaghaei!  What a great lady – she and Justin were an absolute BLAST to photograph – and just hang with!  I really hope they can move back to the North side of  Houston someday!  Here’s just a few of my favorite “Sarah Shots” (no room for the other hundred or so)…

Ow!

Well, on All Hallowed’s Eve I was out with Nick, Ivy and their sweet kids for some family portraits. I tore my calf muscle while jumping to catch a falling diffusion panel before I ever took the first photograph! It hurt so bad I probably would have cried, except that Nick is a retired professional bull rider which kind of makes you cowboy up to your own pain. Just had to share my favorite image from the session. Sorry, guys, Ivy’s taken…
