The owner of this particular location of Padgett is Bryan Brassell. He is highly professional, but very easy to get along with. One of the [...]

It’s funny. My wife and I just finished watching Black Swan and not but a day or two later I was given the opportunity to photograph a Houston Ballerina. The images contain a few behind the scenes shots as well. It looks as if I photographed my clients infront of a black background. But in [...]

Reviews Needed! The good, the bad, and the ugly. When I visit a website and I see a testimonials page, I find that I am unwilling to believe what I am reading. How do you know that the company didn’t write the testimonials themselves? Reviews can be looked at in the same way, but it [...]

My standard response to a site that does not provide me with the information I’m seeking is to just find another site that will! So, I have decided to Zig, while my competition Zags. Standard [...]

Mariam and Waddah were a fabulous couple to serve! Everyone was so stress free and the party was fabulous! I really love the couples that hire me and then just set me loose without any restrictions.
