Recent Special Projects By Paula
My First Trip to the Fabrication Yard
As a photographer, I'm always looking for a new, exciting location for photo shoots, the perfect lighting, and the perfect pop of color or interest for photos. Searching for an unusual looking tree or plant, a unique doorway or staircase, or anything to make a picture...
My Very First Mother/Daughter Photo Session with Two Very Special People
I was so excited about this photo shoot with one of my good friends and her daughter. The two of them planned to get all dolled up and have some pictures taken and printed out for Dad's office wall as a Christmas gift! What a great idea! We were sitting at dance class...
A Special Kind of Photo Session Filled With Over 55 Years of Love
This photo session was a first for me, and I'm pretty sure it will go down as one of my all time favorites. I was approached by a friend who was interested in doing an "engagement" type photo session. I just love this old black and white photo they brought with them...
Trick or Treating Does Not Last Forever…So Enjoy It Now (and take pictures)!
Now that I have a middle schooler and a 4th grader, I can see that my time of having cute little Halloween mini photo sessions with them in their costumes is almost over... So very sad. Halloween is not my favorite holiday by any means, but I sure do love the pictures...
To Take Or Not To Take My “Real” Camera to the Fair??
For those of you who know me (and my camera), you know that the decision to head to the State Fair of Texas without my camera was not made lightly. Blackjack, my Sony A7rIII, comes with me almost everywhere. If I'm not carrying him around my neck, he's probably tucked...
My First Engagement Photo Shoot with My Sony A7 RIII
My first official engagement photo shoot with my Sony A7R III is one I won't soon forget! It all began when my niece's boyfriend called me to tell me that he planned to propose to my niece. I was so happy when he shared his good news. Then, he proceeded to ask if I...
Fireworks with the Sony A7 rIII…What a Fun Adventure!
I love watching fireworks! Even more than that, I love trying to capture photos of the fireworks. It's a lot harder than it looks, but each year, I learn something new, and seem to get a bit better at it. This year was quite different. I had mastered it with my...
My New Favorite Barn in Parker, Texas
Nothing makes me happier, than an unexpected adventure with my camera. Today, I found myself with a little bit of extra time after running errands, and fortunately, I had put my camera bag in my car, just in case... I had been having a conversation with one of my...
A Beautiful Day to Hike at The Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary
One of my favorite places to go and get away, is the Heard Natural Science Museum & Wildlife Sanctuary. It is surprisingly close to my home (right in the middle of crazy, busy Allen, Texas), but once you get out there, it's like you've entered another world....
