Good Morning and I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving. Savor these moments and life changes happen as we are never guaranteed they will happen again.
Contact me for family, headshots, events or portraits while I am here. I seriously don't know when I will be coming back to the US again. I would love to see old friends and clients one last time.

I just sent this email to everyone who had ever registered on my website. Thought it prudent to post it here.

"Hello Everyone,

This will be my first and only email to you. I am semi-retiring, moving to Thailand and essentially closing my business here. I will be returning from Mid-November till Early January so I can still do work for you during that period.

If you want prints or to download images that I have taken from events or sessions I have done that include you, it is important that you do so SOON.

I have 60,000+ images up on my website and will be reducing to their lowest plan Sept 7th which only includes 15,000. I plan on turning even that plan off by the end of the year.

I look back on my work and am proud of the quality I have delivered. I hope you treasure those images and the memories associated with them.

With love to you all!
Sterling"

Howdy All!

I am doing a headshot special for the first time ever this coming Wednesday. As some of you may know, I am in the process of moving to semi-retire in Thailand. I'd like to build up some extra funds if I can before I go.

I am located in Central Fort Worth just 5 minutes west of Downtown near the intersection of Hulen and I-30.
Only 6 slots available.

To reserve a spot, message me. A non refundable $50 fee is required. The fee will be applied to the total cost of $162.38.
This is a third off my normal fee. Same amount of time and images.

Also, let me know in advance what background or headshot style you want so I can be ready when your appt starts.

Did some restoration work on a very old print for a family friend. The original had been torn in half at one point.

Got to try out my new camera body the R5 mkII. It seriously did a remarkable job. The focusing was super fast and having it focus where my eye looked was incredible effective. I haven't done a direct comparison but the iso performance seems noticeably improved. I didn't have daylight for long so much of this was shot at iso 12,800. Some I did the AI denoise on, some I used LR's old denoise tools and some were untouched.

Holiday/Christmas Family shoots are starting up. Did my first one yesterday for the season. Contact me about getting your family shoot setup!
PS: If you are looking for a lower cost alternative, I could setup some mini-sessions for an afternoon or day. I've never done that before so comment below or message me directly (with what day would be ideal) if you are interested in that.
