Josh's Senior Session

Bittersweet.... This is my son who is a senior this year. I have enjoyed, no, LOVED taking pictures of him for the past 18 years.... (can't say the feeling is mutual on this one!) but by far these pictures were the hardest. With it came the realization that he is growing up and will be leaving the nest for college very soon.


And while I know we raised him in a way that would be pleasing to the Lord, I know I will still worry.



He's such a great son and big brother to his little sister. He is an amazing friend to those who have had the privilege of knowing him. He is talented, genuine, honest, full of integrity and passionate about family, faith and the this country he loves.




Proud of you son!!

Nate's Senior Session

Had the opportunity to shoot Nate's Senior session this morning. Just shy of graduation, this photo truly captured the thoughtfulness that is going in to all he is doing these days.
Nate is passionate about his country and one of the things he is seriously considering is enlisting in the USMC. Saw this flag and took the opportunity. The lighting on the flag is courtesy of the beautiful sunlight we got this morning.

Wishing you the very best Nate! Thank you for allowing me to capture you in the final months of your final year of High School. You will go on to do great things be it the USMC, College or ministry.

Kathie and Bob Say I DO



A beautiful wedding followed by an Italian reception! The bride and groom were on Cloud 9 the entire evening.



I had the opportunity to work with an old friend, a groomsman from my own wedding! Because of the size of the wedding, I needed to hire a second shooter. I had recently reconnected with an old friend of ours through Facebook and found out that he too was a photographer living just an hour away. I saw that his work complimented mine... HIRED! We had such a great time working together and learned some things from each other.

Over all a beautiful ceremony and a great reception! Congratulations Kathie and Bob!!

Experiencing Joy

River Run Christian Church put on a women's conference this weekend called "Experiencing Joy". The conference was uplifting, entertaining and full of JOY! What a privilege to be able to attend and shoot the entire event. Here are a few of the moments I captured.


Ronda Rich kept everyone in stitches with her Southern Stories of Faith. I had the privilege of having dinner with Ronda that evening and I have to tell you... she's the real deal. On or off the stage, she is an awesome woman, her Southern accent is endearing and her humour is contagious.

Channel 9's Vanessa Echols was incredible. What a beautiful woman... inside and out. Her testimony touched so many. Her spunk and sense of humor was a departure from the newswoman we watch each morning. What a pleasure to meet this amazing woman!

Crystal Tomlinson is an amazing Worship Leader. She is passionate about her music and her God.

Elizabeth leading worship.... another God's Girl!

All in the Family

March edition of Central Florida Doctor is out. Fun time (even though we were still in the throws of that arctic blast that blew through the Sunshine State in January) getting to know these brothers who share a practice here in town. The original shoot was scheduled a week prior but we were busy having snow flurries....



My favorite shot... didn't make the magazine but I really like it. It captured the mood.
