Great VRHS Article on HillCountryNews.com

Over the last several years, Robert Thomas of the Hill Country news has been covering the local high school sports programs.  I got to know Robert better this last year as I had more of my photographs published by the paper.  I intend to be a local “beat” reporter to help him out beginning in the fall.  Well anyway, he wrote a great story about the success of all the Vista Ridge athletic programs.  From a school that just opened their doors 5 years ago with just a freshman class, VRHS has excelled in almost every sport notching regional, state, and national titles along the way.

Photography Services

Let’s face it - with the advent of digital photography, many consumers can get perfectly acceptable photographs at a fraction of the cost they paid 20 years ago.  I think that’s great as more memories are being captured today than at any other time in history.  So while the photographic tools have improved for average folks, people are beginning to understand why photography is much more than pointing and shooting - especially for those memories that matter.  Just take a look at what many people post on facebook or on websites.  There are some great ones indeed, but most fall short of professional-level results.  So when your memories matter - that’s where I come in.

I am an Austin-based photographer that offers customers exceptional photography at prices and a level of convenience the larger studios simply can not offer.  And because this is as much a passion of mine as a business, the quality of my work matters.  Bottom line - if you’re not happy, neither am I.  You’ll find that I am very flexible and willing to customize my services to meet your individual needs.

I currently offer the following types of shoots:

• Any type of sports events {indoor & outdoor)
• Family events (new baby, holiday post-cards, etc. Sorry - no weddings)
• Career events (retirements, luncheons, etc)
• Underwater (I teach underwater photography as part of my scuba-training services)
• Custom photographic needs – (ask to see what I can do!)

My standard fee is $150 per hour.  All photographs from your shoot will be available through the customer portions of my galleries and will be password-protected to control access.  You simply view the photographs after the shoot, select the ones you want, the type of product you want them printed on, and my lab prints and handles the rest.   Click to see pricing information.  I also provide custom pricing where I’ll include different print packages and will wrap that cost and the sitting fees together in one rate structure.
