Texas House of Representative house photographer

Just in case you don't know, I have taken a temporary gig of being a session photographer for the 83rd legislative session! Which means that the updates for the blog may be even more scattered for the next few months.

But don't worry, I'm still freelancing after work and on weekends though! You can't take away my freelancing spirit that easily! :)
