Houston Executive Portrait – Dr. Richard M. Barrett, M.D.
By Houston Headsot Photographer, Aric C. Hoek BFA, CPP, Author
Dr. Barrett only had a 20 minute opening for his portrait. I spent 15 minutes setting up, 3 minutes shooting, and 2 minutes tearing down.

I took this portrait of my son Gavin one year to the day before his last day of daycare. Soon, he will be in the whirlwind of kindergarten. Things will begin to change as he becomes more and more susceptible to influence from his new friends and peers. He will begin to grow and develop out of my control.
The days ahead are going to be so important to me, and I want to remember, capture and freeze this time in his life.
To add some additional importance to this portrait, the blocks used to create a frame and focal point were my blocks as a child.
Gavin has a twin sister, Katie. You can expect some images of her to appear on the blog soon.

“We had a fantastic time with Aric in Paris on our honeymoon! It was an experience I will never forget ~ walking around Paris in my wedding dress, taking pictures at all the most memorable places in the world. When I show my wedding album to friends they cannot believe that I have pictures of my husband in his tuxedo and me in my wedding dress in front of the Eiffel Tower, Versailles and Le Louvre. This was truly unbelievable, a dream come true…. Aric made the entire experience relaxed and enjoyable. He had such enthusiasm, it was very easy to be natural and charismatic for the pictures! We were thrilled to share part of our honeymoon with him while he captured every moment on camera for us to have for the rest of our lives.
Thank you Aric. I’m thrilled to have our image on your homepage!”
