Romance

Kristin and Patrick were like characters
from a Jane Austin novel.
He was her handsome and
considerate gentleman and she his beautiful
and cultivated lady.
It was great to be completely disregarded in the wake
of their obvious love for each other.

Thank you both for a wonderful day.

bling!

When I first met Zeta and Jeff, I felt like a party had just arrived in my studio,
Seperatley they are both extermely engaging but together they are electrical.
They, as well as I, enjoyed every second of their day.

What fun

beaming

Meegan has been blessed with this amazing smile and when she is with Bryan it's like sunshine.
They're both wonderful people and even better together.
God bless you both.

light

these were all taken in about 15 minutes. there was this intense light
blasting through our house and everything took on just two tones.
Anyways at the end, I was like "that felt good!" It was always the exploration
as well as the challenge of light that made me keep showing up to my photo
classes in school. I would even dream about it. Light has this transformative power
to it, so much so it can even make even a toilet look inspirational, sorta.

honored

Well sometimes the last thing you expect happens
and all you can do is go Thank You God! I guess honored is the word
to have received this sort of recognition epsecially so since there are
so many wonderfully talented photographers in this city.

I must give all credit though to God. If you know Tricia and I then you know
of the health issue we have faced over the last two years, a crazy spinal inflammation that put me on a cane and then to crutches over a span of 10 months.
(yes, by the grace of God I shot weddings on crutches) The challenges
were many and the mere fact that we are still in business is miraculous.
Recovering has been like a moving down a long road that only gradulaly gets
shorter but I am recovering!! The whole ordeal has showed me the power of hope and what it means to trust God.
So the good news is that I can now walk for miles, hold and carry my boys, take out the trash
and run around the block. LIfe is slowly coming back to normal and normal is a dream come true.
So to receive this "best of" accolade is just crazy cool and I'm so grateful.

So thank you to all who hoped and prayed for me, that told me not to give up
and picked me up when I was low, that gave me hope when all was depleated
and reminded me God uses all things for good.

Thank you Ken Pease for being the best friend a man could hav
as well the best photo assistant a photographer could ask for.

And Thank you Tricia, my beautiful lady, for believing, for holding our family
together and for loving me so well.

"I will be with you trouble,
I will deliver you and honor you,
with long life will I give you
and show you my salvation"
