Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. This is a throwback, but I wanted to share it because at the time I shot it, it was interesting to hear the various opinions on the simple subject matter. An overwhelming majority praised the picture and

Shout out to quiche for being pie you can eat in the morning without people saying you’re “depressed” or “need to get your life together.”
Before the feasting and family time commences, let me be the first to say… I am thankful for you. Yes, you. Why?Because we may not be family and we may not see each other every day, week, or even month, but in this new world we are friends. I see
We’ve all got time.
When you find a long lost photo of a great friend from 2011, you take some time out of your day and enjoy it. You remember the day, the music, the conversation… and take your time to bring it back to life. Thank you Jess for the trip down memory

This is Andy. You may know him as Buddha, Mr.Bro-doir, your landscaper, or The Unofficial Mayor of the State Fair of Texas. When I first met Buddha, I actually didn’t know what to think. His tough demeanor, paired with his back-East attitude made
Just a quick lesson on perspective…While in downtown this morning, I came across the world’s cutest black lab. He was a bit older, had some grey on his muzzle, and was tied up outside a coffee shop while his owner went inside to get a morning
All this talk today of “taking a knee” in the NFL. I’m thinking about taking a hike.

Friday I get to head to my “happy place” for a few days of relaxation. Clean air, good people, and good beer. Let the countdown begin…
On Thursday, I was nervous about a shoot for the first time in a long time. It was the good kind of nervous though. The kind you get before a big game or before a moment you know will resonate into your future. I was about to shoot a bonafide supermodel.
Day of RememberanceIf you were alive 15 years ago, you remember. You remember a day when we weren’t black or white, Republican or Democrat, and the lines between us just vanished. We were scared, we were shaken, but we were strong. We stood as one.
Damn porn spam. But seriously, go check out my new chat bot…please
Shot with another great soul today. We come from different places, but see the world very much the same. We spent more time talking than shooting, and that’s how I know she’s “one of the good ones”. Thank you for a glimpse of your wonderful self,

When your friend calls you up and says “I have this outfit I must shoot with you”…You do it. Life of a photographer. (at Dallas, Texas)

Throwback Thursday… or is it a glimpse of the next big trip?
When your client has more personality than stature.
I always like to share this photo once a year. It’s a reminder of where I started and what lit the fire that ultimately made me the photographer I am today. Digital cameras hadn’t arrived yet, I lived on packaged pasta, and I thought making
