Capturing your moments...that is my passion. I have always enjoyed photographs. Even as a child I loved to look at the old family photos. I would just stare at them...What were these people doing? What were they thinking? What on earth is that person laughing at? My Mother would always fill in the details, like it just happened yesterday. My Father was an amatuer photographer, and that's where it all started. With his equipment I soon started in school. I had spent many hours in a darkroom trying to perfect my style, the way I see the world. You see, I have always been an art kid, painting ,drawing, sculpting... anything I could get my hands on, get dirty with and express myself, I did it. That's the way I will approach your photographs. I want to capture your moments and expressions. Not just a static pose with Mom and Dad. Let's get the memories; those first steps, the first kiss... I want your family and friends to look at your photographs years from now and ask the question " What on earth was this person laughing at?" and you can smile and tell them exactly what happened like it just happened yesterday.

My children decided not to cooperate with me on Easter. Then again they never do when I'm trying to take their pictures. So, we tried again this Saturday. This time we brought along their cousins Lauren and her two baby sisters Tatem and Riley. I have come to the conclusion that I am just unable to take my own children's photos. Not that I do not have the patience nor do I lack the ability to use my equipment. But my children just look at me like I'm from another planet. Seriously! Most kids crack a smile at this goofy guy. I mean how could they not? Random bald guy... sticking his tongue out at you from behind a camera? That's just good clean fun. Nope! My kids just stare at me like if they were to smile it would be breaking some unforgivable childhood law.




































The cousins went fine, snap snap snap a few gigs and 15 minuets later we have cute chubby success. soooooooo i did what any Photog worth his Photons would do... i bribed them with candy and took 8 gigs worth of photos to get only 8 usable photos ;) better luck next time.

Finally

...At long last I can finally post pictures from the wedding I did at the end of January. I did not feel comfortable posting them until I got the final okay on the proofs and wedding book. This project took longer than usual I am certain. But since the wedding, my father had passed away, I had vacation scheduled since October and some understandable delays from the client, not to mention it was my first wedding. ;)

I have decided to post some pages from the book instead of individual photos. I feel this will accomplish two things. One, you can see some of the pictures and two, it will showcase some of the layout work I did for the book. Please keep in mind I have designed all of the pages. No canned templates for me mister. So if you like them I'm responsible....if you hate them it's my wife's fault. Just kidding sweetie!

Sooooo. Without further delay...
