This picture represents our growing family. Count how many snowmen there are!

I've read that Ancient Celtic Warriors used to strip down naked and paint their bodies before heading to war! This must be the Irish coming out in my boys!

Today is Brayden's 3rd Birthday. He definitely has a warrior spirit. Sometimes it wears me out, I am just praying that I can help to direct it in the right direction.

Happy Birthday Brayden, your daddy and mommy love you soooooooo much!

Every year now at WPPI we are doing a Thirst Relief Benefit Mentor Auction. Big name photogs like Mike Colon, David Jay, Dane Sanders and many others sign up to be mentors for a 45 minute session. All the procedes go directly to benefit Thirst Relief International!

Super cool news is that Denis Reggie known as "the father of wedding photojournalism" is on board as a mentor! I am blown away at the continued amazing responses that we get in support of Thirst Relief International!

Thank you Denis and the entire photo community!

Just as I was writing this I received word that [b]ecker and jessica claire are both in too!

This weekend's slidshow from the wedding. click here

So this weekend I shot this really great couples wedding, Jennifer and Jason. But, as wedding time often is running late we were running out of daylight fast and on top of that it was raining! So we had to get really creative. I saw this old horse barn at the venue and thought, that'd be a great shot, but no light???? hmmm, I don't want a fake look of just flash, even bounced or filtered wouldn't give me the look I was going for, so I asked Mike Lotz of Lotz Photography who was shooting with me to pull my truck up and shine the lights in the barn at an angle, this is what I got! If you could see what it looked like with the naked eye you'd be amazed at how this shot turned out! When I showed them on my D2x lcd they couldn't believe it! I was very pleased. I'm gonna make a soft box for my headlights, no joke.

God bless guys! Have a great time in Canada on your honeymoon, I hope you get the snow you were praying for!

all i can say is "what happened to my bucks?" that was not the same team i cheered on all year!

wow, i'm in shock.

i will give credit to Troy Smith right after the game he said "There is a whole lot more to life than football, this kinda stuff forces you to grow up."

wow, he didn't blame the line, or lack of line, he just recognized it's a sport and he better build his life on more than just how well he plays it.

i'm sick at the loss but i wish i was more sick at what is happening every day across the globe with injustices that are too sick to mention here. know what i mean?
