All the way from Holland....

She's from Kansas....he is from Holland, but they met in China. NEED I SAY MORE...... love love love at first sight.

Winter Wonderland

On my smile list...on this cold snowy day:

1. Random hugs and random --I love you's'-- from our kiddos

2. Laughing with our 13-year old

3. Country drives with the love of my life

4. Incredible co-workers

5. Good food, good friends, good health, and a good night’s sleep!

6. The cutest dog in the world that sleeps above my head and wakes me up with cuddles

7. Opportunities to start all over again

8. Knowing the difference between being alive and living

9. The way life’s traumas end up making the good times even sweeter

and topping it off with .....

10. Knowing grudges are for those who insist that they are owed something; forgiveness however, is for those who are substantial enough to move on.

Hug the ones you love, try new things, forgive often and be kind. Oh, and smile at a stranger.

Here comes the bride...

Love, ohhhh-weeeee all things love... muah. Excited about 2014, and shooting weddings with Sharaya Mauck. Here are some special moments I captured last year.

When two people are meant for each other, no time is too long, no distance is too far, NO one can ever tear them apart. We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but learn to see an imperfect person perfectly. You have to be a solid, whole, independent, well put together person to be able to do that. Love capturing that.

HUG THE ONES YOU LOVE.... Can't wait to photograph you.

Woof Woof

HOLY BREEEEEEZZZZZY day. Two days of high winds and all the leaves...GONE. But, we found a little bit of green and had a good 'ol time with these two cute pups and their parents. Oh how I love me some doggies.
