2012 at a glance.

Looking back at all the images I had the privilege of capturing in 2012, I can’t help but feel pretty blessed to have worked with so many amazing people.

For the people I did pre-engagements & Weddings for... Just wanna take a minute to Thank You. I thank you for renewing my faith in LOVE all while capturing the love you share with your significant other. Watching you guys all Lovey Dovey is a reminder of my own vows and commitments I made my wife over 3 years ago on our wedding day!
For the family sessions, maternity sessions, and new born sessions I've done. I thank you for allowing me in your homes and putting up with the silly faces and baby talk impersonations I do in order to get you to laugh. I know my chipmunk laugh would be enough to get to job done but I'm a over achiever.
So cheers to 2013! I wish all couples, families, and babies the best year, yet! Cheers to living a JOYFUL & LOVING life!

Here are some of my favorite images from 2012… enjoy

A very Merry P.A.L. Christmas



For the past 2 holiday seasons , I have had the chance to give a family something they may have never had before—a portrait together totally free of charge. This is my 3rd anual "Donate a Portrait Day" where I donate my time, to capture these gorgeous families do what they do best... Love each other! Shout out to the POLICE ACTIVITES LEAUGE who filled up the time slots with families who came in every 15 minutes from 9:30am - 3:00pm. Sometimes a portrait can be seen as a luxury, but to some it may mean the world! My prayers go out to the families in the tragic incident in CT. God Bless you all!

Another Christmas I thank God for...

This posting is to thank the heavenly father up above for yet another year he allowed my family and I  to spend together. I know very well that tomorrow is never promised but here I am cherishing the very minute I sit here in my office chair writing this blog. 

This year was my sons 3rd Christmas (4th if you count belly time) but the first Christmas that I actually see him super dooper excited about his gifts and being surrounded by soo many people that adore him. He received everything from a new pair of Toms. a thomas the train tracks set, to dozens of hot wheels and lets not forget his very first Bike! Can't wait to teach him how to take the training wheels off that bad boy and let him ride free!lol 

Recently I've been going to Church on Sundays after being absent for a while and It's really nourished my soul and has filled a void In my heart. It feels awesome to drop off my son at the nursery room they provide and actually pay attention to message thats preached (Shout out to Core Church). 

I think of this Christmas and am so thankful of what I've got. I might not have the luxury items that would make me popular and cool but I know I got one thing that tons of people would kill for....

 A lovely Family! 

God Bless you all and always remember that there's a God up above that Loves You! 

Merry Christmas
