Starlight Symphony Orchestra's New Conductor

I am very pleased to announced that I have accepted a position as Music Director and Conductor of the Starlight Symphony Orchestra based out of Wimberley, TX.  This will make three ensembles that I am working with in addition to the Austin Philharmonic and the Austin Flute Choir.

This will be a wonderful season full of varied music in varied locations. Perhaps we will have the flute choir join forces with one of the other ensembles?! There is a delightful piece by Sam Jones that calls for orchestra and flute choir. We'll have to look into that one.

Now off to plan the schedule and the season...and the next photo shoot.

Google Business Photos: Village Vet Hospital

Hello Everyone!
I just finished another Google Business Photo shoot. This time it is of a fantastic veterinary hospital in Bee Cave, TX!  Walking in you can immediately tell this is a caring vet with a great supportive staff.
Here is a link to the panoramic view: Village Veterinary Hospital. And, here's a snap of the store front.


It was a very straight forward shoot covering the lobby and two exam rooms. The staff I worked with, Dr. Winston and Judy the vet tech, were so easy going. This will be perfect for them because they are building a bank right in front of the vet and now the vet cannot be seen from the road! Ugh! It's this type of small business that can really benefit from the enhanced online presence.



I did the shoot when they were closed so you won't find any people or pets in the shots, but this is not a requirement. I *was* able to capture a few snaps of some of the residents visiting the vet. Judy was kind enough to let me take a few pictures of a cat and dog. Check them out! Here's their Google+ page:

Here's a snap of one of their guests:

See you for now, until next shoot or news worthy of sharing.
