A vintage style wedding photo montage, which goes perfectly with her netted veil and red roses, and the old world feel of the outdoor Chapel Dulcinea.

Today about 3pm I got a call asking if I could create a memorial montage for Joe Karam who recently passed away. She sent the photos immediately, and I set to work. His family had a photo of this billboard, and thought having him looking down from heaven would be mor appropriate here than even in most cases. So I dusted off my digital scrapbooking skills and created this. The funny thing is, she said she found me by Googling Austin Graphic Designer, and I was the only listing to come up. I figured that couldn’t be right, Austin is a big town, so I tried it and was no where on the (huge) list. But my mother recently passed away at the same age, 1943-2008, and it seems even Google knows what is meant to be. I really enjoyed creating this and so appreciate the family inviting me into their lives at this tender time.

Black and white lent a more classic yet contemporary feel for the Hart’s 11×14 wall montage shot at the San Antonio LDS temple.

A traditional, romantic montage for a musician, shot at the LDS temple in San Antonio, Texas.

Often photographers report that capturing non-walkers is the most fun and easy stage because they stay put! But I just love walking after a newly land-legged toddler exploring her world from a completely different angle. This photo conveys that sense of curious discovery and motion, of life happening in front of the camera rather than for the camera. The biggest challenge is finding a location with enough beautiful backdrops to allow free wandering with no cars or strangers corrupting the shot!

Scrapbook pages or photos enhanced with digital graphics make a big impact in an album or on a wall, and are a great way to display multiple photos in one space.
