    We’ve put together some new video content for our friends over at Berkspainting.com, showcasing some of their stellar work!

    Located in Southeastern Connecticut, they’ve been restoring historic homes up and down the Connecticut coast for over 10 years. We spent a few days with them during the 2012 holiday season filming the crew and some of their satisfied customers. These guys deserve all of the success they’ve achieved over the years, and we look forward to working with them in the future!

    If you’re a local Houston contractor or business looking for professional video content for your website, don’t hesitate to send us an email at info@solidstatephotography.com. We’d love to work with you!

    Meet Heather & Kristi. A fun loving pair of sisters, born and raised in Houston. While their lives have taken different paths (one, a teacher Hallettsville and the other a physical therapist in Houston), these two share a special (mostly goofy) bond.

    Shortly after relocating to Houston, I met Heather through a mutual friend. Since then, we’ve become good friends, attending renaissance fairs, ski trips and playing on our local co-ed softball team together. So when she came to me looking for new pictures to give their parents for mother’s/father’s day, we made it happen. We spent an over-cast Saturday afternoon in a rural town just outside the Houston city limits. The girls spent the morning scouting for a good “country” location, and absolutely nailed it!

    Check out a few of their shots below, and thanks for reading!

    Meet Justin & Leslie, an awesome couple hailing from League City, TX. I met Justin last year through a mutual friend, and put together an awesome photo-shoot with him and his fellow band members on the grounds of the Texas Renaissance Festival. I had a great time, and knew it wouldn’t be the last time I’d get to hang with Justin.

    After popping the question during the Christmas holidays, Justin got in touch to schedule an engagement shoot. We spent a cloudy Sunday afternoon shooting in the League City library, a local park, and the Kemah Boardwalk. I had wanted to visit Kemah since I moved to Houston, so the opportunity to shoot among the thousands of people and carnival lights was exciting! Justin & Leslie were a true pleasure to work with, and the chemistry they share was obvious – I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to spend the day with. All the best to you guys!

    Jeff & Jessica met on an Austin Texas night back in 2009. While salsa dancing with a group of mutual friends, Jessica invited Jeff onto the floor to teach him a thing or two and break the ice (seriously, this girl can dance). Her salsa abilities had him hooked, and after that night it was a done deal. I have the pleasure of working with Jeff at Hewlett-Packard here in Houston and after meeting Jessica on a snowboarding trip to Colorado earlier this year, I knew they had something special. I’m so thankful I got to be there to experience their big day both as friend and photographer. All the best guys!

    Quakecon is an annual gathering of PC gaming enthusiasts and has been held in Dallas, TX every year since 1996. Attracting gamers and fans from all over the world, attendance has steadily increased over the years, amounting to 9,000+ people this year. It’s the largest LAN (Local Area Network) gaming event in North America and the largest free LAN event in the world.

    Considering I’m a pretty big PC gaming enthusiast myself, I attended for the first time last year and had an absolute blast. This year, some friends and I returned, driving the 4 hours from Houston with computers & cameras in hand. During the weekend, I managed to break away for a bit and capture some time-lapse sequences and put togethter the video above.

    Much to my surprise, just 24 hours after uploading the video it was picked up by one of the largest video game websites in the world – Kotaku! The article with my video is located here.

    If you’re a gaming fan, Quakecon is definitely something to experience. Check out their website here, and follow them on Twitter here. Maybe we’ll see you in 2012?
