Portraits are probably the main reason most of the visitors come to my web site. In these galleries, you can see examples of Senior Portraits, Family Portraits, Children's Portraits, and Modeling Portfolios. All of the galleries with the prefix of "Proof", are straight out of the camera for the most part. Some may have minor color correction done on them, but they are basically un-retouched photos. They have been reduced in size down to 600x800 so the largest print that can be made from these "Proof" images is 4x6. These galleries were put online originally so that the client can view their proofs online. This cuts down the cost on my end, so I can pass the savings on to my customers.

When I do your photo session, I will also be putting your photos online in a proof gallery, unless you want actual 4x6 prints of all the images. However, I will have to charge $1.50 per proof printed from the print lab. You're proof gallery CAN be password protected, so that only you and those whom you give the password to can access the gallery of your proofs, if you so desire.

So please take a look through the Portrait galleries to see what you can expect from your photo session with Rockin Photos.

Along with the portrait gallery, you may want to take a look at the Before and After images, which demonstrate the power of software to remove blemishes, wrinkles, scars, etc.

In the Session Pricing gallery, you will be able to see the prices I charge for each photo session, as well as prices for image re-touching, CD of images, etc. Also, near the bottom of that page, you will find hints and tips for making your portraits look the best that they can, by wearing the right clothes and accessories.

If you'd like some makeup hints, Lancôme has some very useful advice on their website.

My web site name came from the fact that I've been doing paid photographic shoots of bands since the early 80's. While in college, I was paid to go see and photograph bands like Cheap Trick. What a tough job. I wonder sometimes why I'm not still there, but then I remember we all have to grow up at some point. Over the past three or four years, I've gotten back into doing photo sessions with bands, thanks in part to a family connection in the music industry.

To view some of my recent band photography, click on over the to Band galleries, and take a look at some local talent.

I also take photos at local (and sometimes not-so-local) events, like car shows, Project Graduation events, sporting events, corporate events, and photography club meet-ups.

If you'd like to take a look at some of the events I've photographed recently, go to the Events gallery.

I love Nature, which is probably why I love doing my portrait sessions in natural surroundings. I don't have a green thumb, so the capture the beauty of nature, I have to use the camera. I love watching the sunrise, and the sunset. I love clouds, and thunderstorms. I've even considered taking one of those vacations where you spend a week riding along with the Storm Chasers, trying to get up close to tornados, without them getting too close to you.

To view some of my Nature photography, just follow the Nature gallery link.

Another gallery you'll find on my site is my Architecture gallery. My daytime job, the one that actually pays the bills, is working for a pretty big Engineering firm in downtown Houston. I love finding the beauty in the buildings around my office, especially the older ones. But, I must admit, there are a lot of really beautiful new building going up. And with the trend to build Green, I'm beginning the like the new buildings an awful lot. And the new Discovery Green Park is being built right next to my office. I know where I'll be spending every lunch hour once it's completed.
