Happy birthday Joe

Little Joe has been coming to me since he was approx 7weeks old so to wrap up his first year was a great honor to me. We started out in the studio, were at one his mom and I did alot of chasing him around :) Then we went to the firestation (dads a fireman) and let him climb all over the truck. Oh my gosh he is so cute and looks so tiny on that firetruck.
Happy Birthday Joe, I hope you come back to see me soon.

John & Casey

It was a beautiful day to get married. John & Casey are such a wonderful couple with a wonderful group of family & friends. We worked at a furious pace for a couple of hours before the ceremony and it paid off. I loved doing this wedding, for the fact that family and friends seemed so important to them... thats the way I like to live.

A big thank you to my assistant Brittany and second photographer Kregg for a job well done.

Rewarding

Have you ever had someone thank you for something you had done YEARS ago? I just had that recent experience via the internet.
In my high school days of photography I had done engagement pictures for the friend of a friend. OK that was a many moons ago :) Apparently the young lady asked my friend if she was still in contact with me and told her to thank me.... OK for what you wonder. Her husband died some years ago from cancer and she still remembers me taking those pictures- because she loves them. WOW!!! I am floored and deeply touched that she remembers who did those. It reminds me of why photography is one of the most powerful gifts you can have.. it lasts forever and reminds us of times gone by and can evoke emotions that moves us deeply.
This my friends is why I do what I do.
