Medical Photography


Medical Photography is a world I have been doing for some years, yet not spoken much of. I am approached often to capture medical devices and procedures that are later used in training around the world. This client is based in Israel. Here are some close-ups of a break through pain pump, and a "soaker" hose kind of catheter used to deliver needed pain medicine to patients. Soon I will be traveling to a local hospital for "in surgery" imagery...I am very excited about this new direction my work is going.

Mandy & Bud

Congratulations Mandy & Bud on your Engagement! We went to the base of what looked like one of the oldest pecan trees I have ever seen, possibly a 100yrs old. Mandy and Bud are so much in love, and truly best of friends, and it showed! Thank you for allowing me to capture your special day. We were very lucky to not be rained out, although the bugs ate us alive. Poor Bud actually got bit the most, but never complained.

Guys Rock!

Most guys are on the receiving end of fashion photography, such as trash the dress, boudoir etc. Today we changed the rules, and did a "beefcake" shoot just for Stephanie, Keith's love of his life and soul mate. He was visiting from Reno and wanted to do a special session just for Steph.

Check out the color of his eyes. They really are this green!

Its a GIRL!!!


Whoohooo! Drifter is a Daddy! For everyone who has not met Drifter, our 26" tall miniature paint stallion, he is our studio mascot and sometime model. Here is his daughter who arrived last night. Not sure what color she is going to be, as she has blonde frosting on the head and ears, but she is healthy and adorable!!

Here is my boot for size comparison !

Rollover minuets take a new meaning!--- Under watchful eye of Daddy baby learns to finally roll over for the first time!

Did IT!

Oh! You caught me !

Pretty Cute, aren't I?!

Peas in a Pod

I recently was out photographing a two year old filly sired by the great stallion Peptoboonsmal. While processing the images, I was struck by how much this filly looked like her sire. After searching, I found the image I did of him back in 2006, and combined the images together....

Corporate Portraits

Todays business world has become EXTREMELY visually oriented, and the need for business portraits has increased. Our customers view our web sites, and expect to "see" who they hope to hire or consult with. Your image is your reputation. Think about your image, what does it say to you, how outdated is your photo?????

Here are a couple of samples of recent sessions, each done either in the comfort of an office or home! Set up is easy!

"Lisa" was photographed in the comfort of the East Parker County Chamber office, with just a plain wall as a backdrop. With creative use of lights any wall can make your image a masterpiece.



CHERYL
It does not matter WHERE we are, you can still have a great portrait. Cheryl's image was taken in her living room! We had great fun, and it only took about an hour from my arrival to departure.

" These are the best pictures that I have had in my life!"

Horse of a Different Color!




This has been a fun week! I had the privilege of photographing "Gold" owned by Debbie Stone. He is a glorious Silver Dapple Gypsy Horse stallion just at 2yrs of age. What a good boy he is. He really can move. I love his deep rich color, which is very rare in the GH.

Chucks day at home!




Well, I had a delightful time yesterday with Meredith and her horse, Chuck. It was so very windy (40 mph gusts) that we brought Chuck practically in the house and he was soooo good! Meredith and I met years ago when she was included in a magazine article about girls and their love of horses. I am so honored to be a part of her life, chronicling her as she grows up to a beautiful young lady.

March Madness!

Seems like forever since I last posted. I have been very blessed to have been extremely busy with work during what is considered a quiet time for photographers. Thank you!

I just had the complete delight this week of a commission for two book covers. Suzanne McLennon is an author who had me create a new "look" for her next book. I also did a commission with her two granddaughters, who are also budding cookbook writers.

"Meg, we love these!!! NO ONE has ever taken this many GOOD pictures of me! Usually I'll get 2 out of 20 to even consider. I am impressed! Love, Suzanne"

Gypsy Horse World Show

What an incredible event we had this past weekend here in Fort Worth, held by the Gypsy Horse Registry of America. It was simply the best show I have ever been to, from the superb quality of the horses, meeting the owners from around the country, and some of the top breeders from England came over to support the show!!!

As many of my friends know, I am completely in love with my Gypsy Horses! to learn more about them, go to here http://gypsyhorseregistryofamerica.org/CMS/

What a wonderful Year!


It has been quite a while since I last posted! I have been working on so many creative and unusual projects, and loved every moment of it.

First off, I finished up the Gypsy Horse Wedding of the Year! What an incredible event, Ryan, Mary and of course the beautiful gelding Artero. He was so awesome and gentle, even with the wedding gown billowing behind him, a first for this guy.

If any brides out there wish to have the same setting, Artero is available most days and evenings !!

Full Moon Photography


Fort Worth has the best full moon right now, and I was able to shoot fellow photographer friend at midnight out in my pasture for grins and giggles. Our moon is so BRIGHT it is like having a spotlight. I used only a tripod and a cable shutter release, f/22 with an ISO of 400, maybe a 30-45 second exposure for you camera junkies.


A fellow photographer friend was looking at the back of her camera when I caught this one.

Wedding Photography


Ryan and Mary my Engagement couple from earlier this year are now married! I had the most wonderful evening light today, and the setting was just gorgeous! Mary, Ryan and the Gypsy Horse Artero were simply jaw dropping perfect today. As anyone can tell you, my photography has movement to even a "formal" style commission session. I picked this as one of my favorite images. I had a visiting photographer from Oregon helping with the reflectors, and it really was a lot of fun. More to come over the next few days!

You Are The One

Finding your true love is one of the biggest blessings.
I had the recent privilege of photographing Dustan and Maria here in Weatherford. Thank you for allowing me into your world. We had fun! Dustan and Maria will be getting hitched in the spring, whoohooo!

No Guts No Glory


Meet Smart N Slick one tough, athletic stallion!

Emigh Family




Whooohooo! Nothing is better than a few bales of hay for a perfect setting. Kenny and Anna posed after their stallion session, and I am so happy with the results. When I find the perfect light, I have to create! More coming soon.

Fall in Texas



It has been a very busy, crazy few weeks here in Texas. While most photographers are gearing down for the winter, I am picking up full speed ahead!!! Fall in Texas is gorgeous, Christmas and Thanksgiving right around the corner, and Spring Weddings will be here before you know it. Engagement sessions are big right now, so book early!

Here is a look at Bre and her Gypsy Horse, Joker.

A Moms Hugs


I had the greatest time today photographing Lisa and her son Kyle! The weather was awesome, a bit windy though. Fall here in the Fort Worth area is simply beautiful this year. Kyle is a cool guy, and was really fun to photograph. We had a lot of fun walking around the beautiful pastures and the neighbors garden. We never need to go very far to find the perfect parklike setting.
