"Christian at Eight Months"...








I photographed Mr. Christian Lee's 8 month session recently and it is always so fun to see how he is growing and progressing. He is doing phenomenal and he has those chunky legs and arms that my wife tends to like so much about babies. He plays one mean case of forearm flute and is really starting to chatter. We had a great, relaxing session and really got a nice selection of images that I believe Mom and Dad will be quite happy with. Christian has got some amazingly cool parents that that I always look forward to seeing. They give me great freedom and are always open to the different locations or backgrounds that I suggest. I hope everyone enjoys to "teaser"images I have posted above...

RedBubble work...


I just started selling some of my images on this cool website based out of Australia. They have some amazing work and I'm happy to be a part of it. The prices are pretty reasonable too. Please note that the above slideshow is showing cropped versions of my images, please view the RedBubble site for the full uncropped versions. I'll be adding images on a regular basis so please keep an eye out. They'll be a great deal of my sports images as well as various locations and still lifes and other personal work...Enjoy!

Family energy...






I recently photographed a wonderful family that I have known for years. They are really a warm and loving family not only amongst themselves but everyone they touch. They are very active within their church and community and are generally the first to help when something is needed.

Their children, Andrew and Lauren, are vibrant bundles of energy. I know that if we get together as families that my children will definitely sleep well that night because they'll be absolutely exhausted. We love any opportunity that we get to see them and hang out unfortunately its its far too infrequent. Anyway above are a few of the images from our session...

The Kids are a growing...










I have been inundated with requests for some updated images of my two children, Amelia and Justin. These guys keep me grounded and absolutely amaze me every day. Its funny that when I was younger, thinner around the waist and much crazier (ie: when I was single), the thoughts of children rarely if ever crossed my mind. And when they did it was always in amazement and somewhat terror. I would always watch my married friends with their kids or my oldest brother and his wife juggle their lives around my niece and nephews schedules and be completely in awe as well as exhausted just as an outsider. It made me really contemplate if kids were in my future when I was to get married.

Now having two of my own, I cannot think of life without them. They are in the "sponge" years and latch on to just about everything whether I want them to or not. I truly love to document their changes and how they are growing because it happens at such a mind blowing rate that I don't want to have those regrets when they (and I) are older. This is why I love what I do and really enjoy documenting my clients children and families and do my absolute best to provide artwork for them that they will cherish for a lifetime. I feel like I am entrusted with capturing the personality and stage of life at that moment and I view it as an incredible responsibility. All of that may sound stiff and stressful but it is exactly the opposite as the sessions are always a blast and really stress-free. Anyway, I've rambled a bit too much for now but just wanted to provide a little glimpse of why I do what I do. Hope you enjoy the above pix of my kids...

Upcoming Promo for Professionals...


I'm taking a break from my regular post to mention an upcoming special I'm running for professional's in the area who are looking to "revamp" or update their look for the New Year. I'll be running this for two different weeks during the second and fourth weeks in February. I did something similar last year and it was pretty successful so I thought I would bring it back and "tweak" it just a bit.

This is perfect for Professional's/Executives, Musician's, Real Estate Agents or anyone who needs to have their image for use in their business or marketing. The details of the promotion are included above but some highlights are: Brief sessions on location either utilizing a background or your own surroundings, images fully retouched and set up for Web use and/or print, fully licensed and released. Please call or contact me for specific questions or to make a reservation.

Aleksandr...






I did a session recently of one of my favorite clients, or more specifically of her son, Aleksandr. They had moved out of town a little over a year ago but I'm happy to say that they have decided to move back. We ended up doing this session at Centennial Olympic Park and had pretty much the run of the park to ourselves. Alek was running all over and was really having a good time playing with what remaining leaves he could find. He is a great kid and it has been fun watching him grow up these past couple of years...

HS Senior Session...








I had the chance recently to photograph a young man who will be graduating in a matter of months. I've had the pleasure of knowing Scott for a few years now and also was fortunate enough to photograph his brother a couple of years ago. Scott is a sharp guy who is bound for greatness. He has a number of school options awaiting him after graduation and I'm confident that whatever he chooses, success will follow...Good Luck Scott!
