Dallas had a record setting day of snow yesterday. Talk about craziness. The snow actually fell, stuck, and built up to something like 7 13 inches. To your northerners, that’s probably nothing, but I don’t think we’ve gotten more snow than 7 inches in the last 2 years combined. So, anticipating the snow, I put up a little ditty on FB and twitter about shooting in the snow yesterday. Two previous brides responded and we were set! (Neither of them would wear their wedding dress though. Not sure why.)
First up: Kimmy and her son, Max. Amy and Scott brought them and we spent an hour or so building, sliding, and throwing snowballs at each other. 
Then, another past bride, Christina, came by before the snow got really heavy. It’s too bad her husband Steven was working….
you should probably branch out to non-oriental people as well..it is a slight turn off/disheartening to those who come to your sight, interested in your services, to see (primarily) people of oriental decent in all your pictures…just saying.
“Anon”, you make it sound like we discriminate our clients and screen who we photograph. We don’t do that. First of all, these were the only people who could make it out on such short notice. And second of all, do you read the rest of our blog? We have TONS of non-Asian clients.
If you’re looking to hire us, hopefully the race of our clients isn’t the only thing you see. Thanks for the comment, but next time, please leave your real name/email so we can discuss this in a more private setting. 
13 inches to be (rounding up) exact!
to anonymous: it is even more disheartening to see someone post publicly that they are “turned off” by images of ANY one race, and even worse to chastise such talented photographers for doing so. if you are in fact a website regular you would see that Table4 does not discriminate with any of their Clients, and in fact brings out the different beauty & culture of every individual client. perhaps you should search for a different photographer that is willing to implement a “race quota”, as to avoid being offended by seeing people that are different from you.
Your shutter finger is a yellow supremest. signed, John Mayer
no wonder you won’t takes pics of me
bahahahah. serioulsy, those are the kind of clients you don’t want!! what cowards!! Table4 you guys rock!! keep doing what your doing…
And so what if you like photographing Asians. Not saying that is all you photograph… But what the heck. You could insert anybody into those photos and they would be great. If your clients are predominately Asian that is not a strike against you. Anonymous maybe you should go look for a “white or black” only photographer if you have an issue.
lol you guys are getting a little too excited. absolutely no misguidedness here, no judging, and surely no discrimination (in reference to the facebook status comments). and ease up christina…nobody chastised anyone and how far would it throw you off to know that i AM a table4 client? obviously i recognize their talent and appreciate everything they do. if good-hearted suggestions cannot be regarded as constructive criticism, then that is tragedy on a whole new level.
this should be nothing “controversial” as your facebook labels it to be. it was feedback i received from another person to whom i recommended your services.
i am still a huge fan of your work, i loved everything you delivered through our sessions, and will continue to support.
that is all. now may you all have a fantastic weekend.
Anon: WOW. Really?!? Unbelievable.
Btw, guys…the images of Christina are awesome!
anon – what you do not realize is that you are misguided and you are discriminating against a particular ethnic group. I know that you can’t see it, but everyone else here can. The truth of the matter is that the mere fact that you used the term “oriental” in describing people of Asian descent shows your ignorance, actually, your disrespect. I would say – take what everyone else has to say to heart and see the hidden (to you) prejudices you, and the friend you’re speaking for, truly hold. Ask yourself WHY are you “disheartened” and turned off by the fact that you see quite a few Asians in Table 4′s portfolio? Actually, I’m curious to know what is so offensive to you and your friend?
btw: your response below, and especially the first sentence was condescending. why? because you discount the hurt that your original comment caused instead of facing it.
uh, wow. someone is an idiot and showed their ass in the comments. (anon i’m talking to you)
i would like to leave a happy comment.
fun pictures! i want to be in a snow shoot!! crazy how this happened in texas. i like it! very pretty…
all we got was rain and pebble sized hail…. i hate houston =(
Oh my, there are TWO of you? I hate to continue this discussion, as it is blatantly obvious that you do not know, and may never know, just how irresponsible and discriminatory your comments are – and it may just be your lack of exposure to other cultures, but it’s about time that someone told you to analyze your perceptions. Is it not enough for you to see primarily Caucasians on television and in magazines? Or maybe you’d like to continue to contribute to the struggles of minorities to be celebrated, instead of stifled, in today’s world. I don’t think I could have said it better than Jenny, in pointing out your disrespect and trivialization of such an important and controversial issue. In your future complaints please remember to use the term “Asian” instead of “Oriental”, unless referring to rugs or geographic regions. And no, I am not “thrown off” by you being a Client – as either way your comment remains ignorant. And to point out the obvious: if your suggestions are so “good-hearted”, why do you still choose to hide behind your anonymous name? If you truly felt your criticisms were not offensive, you would not have chosen to express them behind the safety of anonymity. And to reiterate: your criticisms are unfounded as it is SO OBVIOUS that Table4 has a varied array of clients. THE END.
Hey everyone. First, thanks for the discussion we’re having here. I think it’s healthy for us to talk about these things and learn what it is that makes each of us tick. This will ultimately lead to better understanding. Second, since this is an internet discussion and it’s nearly impossible to establish tone, let’s remain respectful of each other and our opinions. To “Anon”, I hope you and I can have a private discussion so we can diffuse the situation as quickly as possible. I apologize that this has escalated to personal attacks, since I know that none of our clients deserve this kind of treatment. So, let’s figure this out, yea? Email me…or call.
A little late in responding, but I had to point out that mast businesses do not select their customers, their customers select them. This is especially the case of small businesses where advertising is almost completely based on word of mouth. The owner is an aquaintence of mine and I know him to be very open to multi-ethnic environments. So to conclude, if his photographs are primarily of people of Asian descent, this is probably not due to any neglect of other ethnicities on his part, more likely it is due to Asian Americans doing a good job of referring their very talented friends to each other.
