Shine + Collective Soul

"Give me a word - give me a sign
Show me where to look - tell me what will I find? (What will I find?)
Lay me on the ground and fly m in the sky
Show me where to look - tell me what will I find? (What will I find?)"

Heard this song today...(which is random for San Antonio radio) and it reminded me of the pics I took of Collective Soul back in April...I'm going to continue singing to myself and annoying my dogs...."Ohhhhhh Heaven Let your light shine down..."

Wedding Photography + Posh Bridal Portraits

Did I ever mention I'm a wedding photographer too? Check out my website for more samples www.cnphotography.net These were taken at the super posh AVIA hotel in the Woodlands...its all about the dress, I mean location...If you're about to walk down the aisle, make sure you have a photographer to capture that special moment...and remember...Hello, my name is Chantel!

Monterey, CA + Tourist Pics

I love working on assignments in other cities/states/countries...Cannery Row in Monterey, CA is one of my favorite places. On my last day, I decided to play tourist...If you're on vacation or need some event photography, I have new luggage and frequent flier miles! When planning your next family get-away or company retreat, don't forget the photographer...Hello, my name is Chantel!

FAME part Duex + Lady Antebellum

I have the coolest job...I get to photograph some of the most talented people! This past month in Pebble Beach I had the pleasure of making some photos of Lady Antebellum - just TWO days before their 2011 Grammy performance! If I wasn't a fan before, I definitely am now! And remember if you're famous or just infamous and you're looking for a photographer...Hello, My name is Chantel!

Wonderbread Billboards

You may remember these photos of Najera and Nash from last year - I finally got to see the final product and thought I'd share...and remember, if you need a photographer, Hello, My name is Chantel!

Shavano Commons Website Photos

I normally photograph people, so the Shavano Commons project was a little different for me. (Maybe because I wasn't saying things like, 'tilt your head, drop your chin, give me more hip...') Regardless, these office buildings are beautiful - I seriously would live in one if I could. Designed by award winning Roberto Kenigstein and Leonard Holzman, they don't disappoint! When you get a chance check out their site www.shavanocommons.com And if you need a website, the Web Designer, Tracie Ochoa of Taylor Ochoa Designs can be reached at www.todesign.net . And as always remember, if you need a photographer...Hello, My name is Chantel! www.cnphotography.net

Toyota Manufacturing Plant, San Antonio, TX

Its not every day you get to tour the San Antonio Toyota Manufacturing plant...what a treat! If you're into discovery channel, robots, heavy machinery or you just want to see how your Tacoma is made - than this is the place to be! I was asked to take some environmental head shots of Toyota's team members for their Visitors Center and it was a blast! We walked a quarter of a mile and back again (that place is HUGE), saw every department from inspection, paint, welding, etc, etc. etc. and got some great photos! (None of which I can post - top secret designs in there). But as you can see, Nikki and I got to suit up in hard hats, paint suits and goggles...No matter where you need your photos taken, remember...Hello, My name is Chantel and I take good pics in a hard hat too!
