THE JOURNAL

This is a pretty personal post.  And I’ll keep it short and to the point, because there’s much more where this came from.  But I’m afraid if I dig too deep, it’ll all come flooding out and I’m not sure that I’m ready for that. But for now the time has come to share some […]

This summer has been overflowing with some of the sweetest couples I’ve ever shot.  They are so amazing to work with, and really remind me why I do what I do.  Marissa & Ryan are just that.  From their Love Shoot last fall to their wedding day this past June, I’ve loved every minute working […]

Let’s face it, we live in a digital world.  And we have everything we want basically at our fingertips.  It’s quite amazing when you start to think of it. I can snap a pic of my kids and share it instantly with the world and family members half way around the globe.  Smart phones, social […]

I thought I’d cap off this holiday weekend with a family that I’ve had sessions with for the past 5 years.  And although I stepped away from shooting kids for awhile, I can honestly say that it’s families like these guys that brought me back to it.  I’m so happy to have these guys in […]

As I head into yet another hopeful & inspiring wedding season, I’m reminded (yet again) that simplicity is king.  And that classic will never, ever go out of style.  And that beauty is not complicated, and love is pure.  I know you’ve heard me say it over and over and over and over.  But it’s […]
