Mavrick Traxx

“If you make yourself more than just a man,
if you devote yourself to an ideal,
you become something else entirely.”

- Liam Neeson (Batman Begins)

The session below contains images we recently captured of Marcus Roberts and of his alter ego Mavrick Traxx.  Images of a mortal who steps into the studio and must transform himself into something greater to conjure his next level signature beats.  You can’t prepare for it, you can’t control it, and most importantly… you won’t be able to turn it down. I&B Photography presents: Mavrick Traxx.

Anthony: Senior 2011 – Dallas Portrait Photographers

Friday, June 10th, 2011

“I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast.
And when I run I feel His pleasure.

- Ian Charleson (Chariots of Fire)

One afternoon last week I received a call from a friend explaining that our mutual friend Anthony, a graduating senior, had to turn in his track uniform the next day and had never had a photo taken of him wearing it.  That would not do.  So I ran back home, grabbed my gear, and headed out to the track at Bowie High School in Arlington, TX for an impromptu photo session in 100+ degree heat.  Next time someone please remind me to take an extra moment to grab a water since photo shoots are always easier without double vision.  Luckily the camera only captured one Anthony in his element.











The Stokes Family

“I couldn’t get my family to eat together.
You have your family dreaming together.”

- Bruce Dern (The Astronaut Farmer)

Roger. Nikkia. Xavier. Isaiah.  The Stokes.

This family is just plain cool.  Seriously… Mati and I were able to spend the afternoon with them and we walked away truly inspired.  Inspired as artists but also as our own family unit.  You can just feel how much the Stokes love each other and the level of respect they hold for one another.  They encourage each other to dream big and will be there if they fall.  And yes… we got this from one afternoon.

My prayer is that these images live up to the standard for which they have set because they truly deserve it.  When Mati and I grow up… we want to be just like the Stokes.

Polenz Family Christmas 2010 | Dallas Portrait Photographers

Monday, November 29th, 2010

You might remember Brad and Stephanie from last season’s Tacky Christmas.  This year we worked together to create an extra special holiday image for them to send to family and friends.  Instead of multiple images we concentrated on one grand work of art.  I give you… First Christmas.
