2013 - Real life

After the whirlwind of 2012 (which is really hard to top) 2013 was a relatively chill year.  We basically just did the family thing.  We watched the girls grow up.  Take their first steps.  Eventually we got our first full night of sleep.  We watched their little personalities develop.  

We took our usual trips.  We went to the beach that year and got to see the pure joy of dipping their toes in the Atlantic ocean.  We traveled up to Mackinaw with your dad to see the horse drawn buggies.  I went to Mexico for my cousins wedding and left you with two crazy toddlers.

This year was memorable because I got to see you shine as a momma.  You loved this kiddos, you protected them, you nourished their souls and their minds and we discovered another side of our marriage.

Composing the Vision: New Beginnings to See

Welcome! Thank you for visiting my site. To those who have been with me from the start. Those I knew before I even knew all this would happen. Those who have encouraged me in my gifts and who ultimately developed me to who I am today. Who have pointed me to the Lord who gives us eyes to see with, in order to see this Vision that existed since ancient days. I thank you, from my heart, this is for you, that you might receive the blessings and not me. Welcome! To those who maybe are just passing by. I hope that you like what you see. I never consider myself the best photographer out there, but I do like to pour my heart into what I do, and this is a result of that. My hope is that you will take time to stop and see the beauty around you, even if just for a while, and give thanks. And perhaps you will then become inspired to pour your heart into the things you do best, whatever it may be. I hope that I can encourage you to live the greatest and most fruitful life you can and create what yo...

Michael & Melissa

Congratulations to Michael and Melissa for getting married last Friday! A beautiful wedding held in Loveland, Ohio. The Catholic church was modernly ornate and the Old Montegomery Inn was a perfect place to host the reception. I loved watching Michael and Melissa together. Their love for each other was evident to all. And Melissa has such a joyful laugh mixed with Michael's pleasant and outgoing personality, taking these pictures was such a pleasure. Michael and Melissa, I hope that these pictures will serve as fond memories. I know we will not forget this incredible wedding.

My first experience with a Mexican wedding

This past weekend I got the priviledge to shoot a wedding, and it just happened to be a Mexican wedding! The wedding was very fast paced, as I just found out that I was the photographer 9 days before the wedding. But the couple, Gaby and Fernando, were very fun to work with and it was a fun wedding. Some would say that there aren't a lot of differences between Mexican and American weddings. Of course they have a lot of the same things: a church, a bride, a groom, a priest. I mean there isn't much to that. I have never been to a Catholic wedding, so I don't know the differences and similiarites there. But let me just say that I think there are a lot of differences, Mexican weddings are crazy (good crazy)! After the bride finished getting ready, we headed off to the church. They didn't have a driver, so I quickly switched from photographer to chaufer in a matter of seconds. So I drive to the church with 15 minutes until the wedding. I was worried about getting t...
