Those who know me, know that there is no place that makes me happier... than the woods during autumn.  I love to hunt.  I love the outdoors.  So I'm putting out a call for a model, for a photo shoot to celebrate the outdoorsman, the hunter, the sportsman of yesterday.  Before everything was so commercialized.  When hunting was about putting food on the table.  When hunting and guns were traditions that were handed down from one generation to the next. 

So send an email to [email protected] and let me know why you'd be the perfect model.  This is open to men and women who love to hunt.... birds, deer, squirrels, rabbit ... whatever.  I am looking for someone who wants to help preserve their own hunting traditions.  Have your grandpa's old Buffalo Plaid hunting jacket?  Even better.

I first met Read when he was performing in a theater production several years ago. He is talented, genuine, humble, funny as can be ... and above all else, dedicated to helping others and he has a true sense of calling to follow a path of ministry. All in all... Read is pretty cool. It was an honor to have him as one of my Senior Reps for 2017-2018.

If you're considering having me shoot your senior portraits, track him or one of the other reps down and ask for a card. When you present the card to me, you will receive a discount code giving you and your family 20% off your print orders.

Read and I discussed how, in life, we sometimes find ourselves sitting on the sidelines, trying to get a game plan together. This is our attempt to tell that story. Here's how Read finds out what the plan is.  

If you look around the internet... say on a Google image search... or Pinterest... or any social media platform, you will see that there is a huge movement in wedding photography to find things to photograph that will inspire others to follow suit. To get others to retweet your image. To get others to share it on Facebook. To get tons of people to pin it on Pinterest. Cool little crafty ideas. Cute shots of inanimate objects and decorations. Those are awesome. Those are amazing and those are items that the couple has put a ton of thought and work into and deserve to be photographed and shared.

However, let me tell you why I LOVE doing what I do. This photo, is to me, the entire story of this incredible wedding in one tiny sliver of the day. One frame that tells the whole thing. A story about two people in love. Two people who are not alone. This to me, is a photo that shows how life should be. These three are amazing and it was my honor to be involved in their day... and being present to document moments such as this... when the daughter is included in the marriage... is why I love doing this.  You have a story.  I want to tell it.
