Sam -N- Evan / Fashion editorial engagement session / Austin Engagement Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Sexy Sam and Evan!

Sam and Evan (my 2 favorite transplants) wanted to shoot something non-traditional, if we even got close to a "pose" she was all over me with "this feels engagementy..." They went all out with their attire and of course hair and make-up by the super talented Erica Gray. Sam tells me at the beginning of our shoot, I have been pouring over fashion magazines all week, I know just what to do! They sure did.  Shot right here at the federal building at 5th and San Antonio. They look outstanding and completely at ease in front of the camera. It was so much fun to work with them! Plus - bonus -I love these guys.

My commercial side was very successful but She-N-He was an instant wild success so, inevitably,  our commercial work has fallen by the way side. I REALLY enjoy the work and even without redoing our portfolio or otherwise promoting we are still getting some work. Thank goodness for on-going promotions like ComArts in 2006 (I get a lot of hits from that), and obviously, returning clients. This fall (commercial's busy time), I am going to relaunch my website and really start promoting this work again. Photography is my passion and I find that if I have a hand in a few pots I enjoy shooting everything better.  This is a test I completed with the help of Kaylin Johnson (make-up), Angela Parker (LucieMarie) hair, Dress Shop (wardrobe), and obviously the lovely Corrine, our model. It took a little while to get these done but it was a foray in elaborate retouching. I have been staring at this location for, literally, years. I wanted it to look a certain way and it does, now. Please enjoy, I can't wait to hear what you think.

Kathleen -N- Nick - New York City Engagement Photographer by Melanie Grizzel

Couple portrait Brooklyn New YorkKathleen and Nick met while work in a Mexican restaurant together in Austin, Tx. She continued with school when he left to go to West Point, then joined him in New York state. She now resides in Brooklyn, NY, while h continues his studies at West Point. They wanted to commemorate their stay in New York by photographing their engagement session in Brooklyn, NY. Kathleen did an amazing job drawing a map to all of the locations she liked but also left some room for chance. We only had the one day and it rained but it made for great photographs. We found a great coffee shop in Vinegar Hill that didn't want to let us shoot but we charmed them into a teeny session before their Sunday morning brunch. It was a welcome change of pace and really got my juices flowing!

We were able to stay in New York for a few days for a visit with all of our friend, just long enough to make us miss it like crazy, though the baby carriage was new. Not fun... I'll just say it. So I don't think we'll be moving back anytime soon... I realized I even missed the subway, 4 years ago, I never thought I'd say it.
