Life and Asher Samuel | Houston Newborn Photography
WOW! Its been over 2 months since I clicked "Add New Post" for this blog; smh. Actually, its been weighing quite heavily on me lately because I really do have a lot of great things to post. I've had the opportunity to work with some fantastic clients recently. As far as life is concerned, during my 2 weeks off from my 9-5 at Christmas 2009 I was lazily clicking through the channels one afternoon. Somehow, I found myself watching the Ironman World Championships (shocking right in the...
Read MoreDeborah, Jules and Marjorie – Houston, Texas Pet Photography
Aunt Deborah rarely goes anywhere without her two best friends - Jewels and Margery. When I say anywhere, I mean, she won't buy a car that isn't a station wagon with room for two 70 lb dogs. As a person who grew up with cats (my mom is terrified of dogs), I learned about the loyalty and friendship that dogs bring to people after I married my wife. If you say a cross word about Jewels, Margery or Venus (my mother-in-law's papillon), you might as well be talking about their owner. If table food...

In 2009, I mainly focused on using Social Media sites like Facebook (jonathan.lgolden) and Twitter (@jlgolden) for marketing.

Bob Bates' was kind enough to give me permission to use his beautiful daughter Sophie on my flyer. I plan...

As my last photography assignment of 2009, I was hired by Mr. Bob Bates to shoot for a few hours at his daughters 2nd birthday party. Bob is currently stationed in Afghanistan and came home for the holiday's to enjoy some much needed R&R with his family. One thing all children need is an overdose of love and care (and to be slightly spoiled). The whole time I was taking pictures of Sophie and her family, I couldn't help but notice how close they were. Sophie has such a great spirit and...
Read MoreAva Loves the Snow! – Houston Texas Photography
Last Friday Houston was greeted with an early "White Christmas." If we get snow, it's usually a 10 minute freezing rain storm that we call snow. This time, Houston had a full blown snowstorm. To top it off, as my final photography purchase of the year, B&H (via UPS) delivered a brand new Nikkor AF-S 70-200 f/2.8 to my doorstep! I all but shredded the box getting to it, strapped it on my D700, grabbed the family and headed out into the snow. At first, Ava (my little one) thought the big snow...
