There are times when modern technology makes me want to walk away from the complexities of the professional digital photo world and return to my film roots. Complete contradiction, but shooting this image with my new iPad and a vintage viewfinder app resurrects my film days and makes me long for a time when the image you see through the lens is basically what you get. Give or take some simple darkroom tweaks.

Photographing Mary’s baby shower was a pure delight! Such a loving and happy family! Mary has hired me to document the birth of their first child and I can not wait to experience such an amazing moment with this family!

Just a few shots from Mary’s baby shower. Mary has hired me to document the birth of her first child in July! Should be an amazing adventure!

These images were taken in a 1:1 format with a Canon G12. It was my first real experiment with the camera in a professional setting and the creative outlet was a blast!

Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace. —FREDERICK BUECHNER

A little afternoon eye-candy for the wanderlust in us all. This image was taken from the deck outside of my cabin room as our 15 hour ferry ride to Manado, Indonesia limped into it’s final destination. We blew an engine (or two) halfway into our journey. It was a long night, to say the least.

While on a portrait shoot for Whole Foods last week, I had the lovely opportunity to photograph the most stunning farm and intriguing farm animals. There’s a farmer inside of me dying to get out! Click this link to see more of this Virginia farm!

Could the Nelson kids be any cooler? Chilling in Paris, wearing clothes they picked out while shopping. Yes, he’s wearing a Fedora. Cool. And I was lucky enough to be hired to document their family vacation in Italy and France.

When was the last time your family reminisced about convening in a photo
studio and sitting in front of a painted country scene, under the florescent
glow of portrait lamps. Ahhh, the memories……No? Not so much? The truth
is, these well-intended, studio family portraits are only replicas of each
person’s (posed) physical appearance. They don’t capture their true
personalities in the midst of life’s real moments.

My Visual Family Storytelling approach documents your family’s real moments
— from births to birthdays or from vacations to the everyday. Your portraits
won’t be captured just to be “viewed.” They’ll be created to spark nostalgic
conversations about your family’s laughter, love and special moments for
generations to come.
