I recently had a session with a great family! They have a beautiful little girl who is a complete daddy's girl! They were fantastic to work with, and we captured some wonderful family moments for them. Here are some photos from their session:

{Image of the Week}

I absolutely love shooting in black and white; I feel that it helps you to actually "feel" the picture, rather than just to "see" it. I love the mood that B&W creates, and I can't help reverting back to my roots --I started out in black and white photography in high school, and carried it with me throughout college, and now, it's still with me. I've logged many, many hours in the darkroom, going through lots of Kodak paper and chemicals! With the advent of digital photography however, long gone are those endless hours of toil in the cramped and poorly ventilated darkroom -- I now spend hours getting a hand cramp from working on the digital negatives on my computer! Ah, so goes the work of a photographer..........although, I do miss those darkroom days. Maybe I should take my equipment out of storage (my parent's house), and have a go at it again!

Speaking of parents, I was with my parents when I took the "image of the week" photo. We were down in Galveston (same day as the trolley picture,) when I saw this lovely corridor. As soon as I walked past it, I knew I had to take the shot. One of the things that I've learned while being a photographer is that people look at you rather strangely when you take pictures of empty corridors...LOL, or doorknobs, trash on the street, old "ugly" buildings ( I love old buildings - they are beautiful), and odd things that people wouldn't normally take photos of. Many of the shots I take are for my own edification, but perhaps I'll share a few now and then........

I am still honoring all senior picture specials and holiday card specials, as well as the Gift Certificate giveaway, so, if you want to capture some memories, contact me today!

Have a great weekend!

{Image of the Week}

Yet another week is upon us, and I'm posting another image for the week. I was recently down in Galveston, and I just absolutely LOVE the trolley system they have down there....great for photos! If you haven't been down there in a while, it's worth a peek; just make sure you're ready to pay for some decent parking!

I've been taking lots of photographs, and I'm always ready to take many, many more! I've actually decided to "give away" some gift certificates as a new promotion! The first 5 people to send the following message to me in an email will be sent a gift certifcate for $25.00 from "The Davidson Gallery."
Here's the message:
Please send me a gift certificate for $25.00 from "The Davidson Gallery." I understand that this is good for a la carte prints from my paid session and is not redeemable for cash. One per household please.

I will notify all winners by email, and I will send your certificate to you via snail mail! Good luck!

9/11

{ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 }

No words today; just a moment of silence to remember those we have lost.....

{IMAGE OF THE WEEK}

I saw an interesting blog the other day; it was a photographer from Australia who posted pictures on a daily basis........I thought, "what a great idea!" Maybe I should try something similar to that, so I'm going to post an image a week ( or images, depending on if I shoot something exceptionally interesting.) I'm not exactly sure on which day I decide to post them, but I'm aiming for every Friday......something nice to look at while winding down the work week!




This is a picture of a mother goat sleeping with her little baby goat. Aren't they darling? The baby goat (on top of the mother,) looks a lot like her mother, right down to the little patch of white hair on their heads! I wanted to get more level with them, but I didn't want to sit down in a pile of "pellets!" Anyway, I thought they were adorable, and I think you do too, don't you?
