In capturing their Dallas commercial photography, my entire concept was to show two things: lots of movement, and highlight service. They are obsessed with creating a great customer service, and do everything they can to do right by their clients and drivers. I think it adds that much more connection with my client and I when we have an alignment of values, plus it helps drive me to really show that part of their story.  

There is something about the early morning hours. Everything is still so quiet, so peaceful. It really feels like you have space to think, you can actually breathe deeply before the circus begins. For this particular client, all of my shoots take place very early in the morning, even before sunrise. For the night owl in me, this can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, but I always enjoy getting to be in my zone at this time of day.

It’s pretty apparent that I love photography. I mean, I am a Dallas commercial photographer by trade to pay the bills, but I do genuinely love being able to create with a camera. I have other loves as well though, and being a foodie is probably a close second to photography. I really love food. I credit a food editor that I worked with several years ago, as we shot recipes every month for publication, and I learned so much about cooking, but more than anything, I learned to fall in love with it.

One of the projects that I shot Dallas commercial photography of recently was the Crystal Lagoon at Windsong Ranch in Prosper, Texas. If you haven’t heard about these Lagoons, get pumped. Imagine a beach with sugar white sand and crystal blue water, that just so happens to be around the block from your house. I honestly couldn’t believe it when I saw it, and I know the residents at Windsong Ranch love having it there.

As a Dallas portrait photographer who has run a small business for nearly two decades, I’ve learned a lot of things. Perhaps one of the most important lessons is that it is critical as a business owner to have a good relationship with your banker.

As you may know, or maybe if you are like many of my creative friends, are blissfully unaware, football season is nigh. The preseason games for the NFL are in full swing, and this Dallas editorial photographer is very excited to see football action get rolling again. So, in honor of football kicking off (had to do it), I thought it would be great to share some images that I took a while back of Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten.
