Sharing a Before and After. So much of photography is in the editing…so choose a photographer based on their perspective…what they see as beautiful.

“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.” ~ Ansel Adams

Love these words written by Jasmine on July 19, 2016:
“How much life has changed from a year ago! My life is so much more full. So honored to now be a wife and mother! Have learned so much about my son, myself, all baby things, what a wonderful husband and father Dwight is, and my view of God just got a whole lot bigger. Can’t believe how quickly time passes you by.”

This is when I LOVE what I do! Thank you, Jasmine and Dwight, for having me as a friend and photographer. I love you all so much!

Far be it from me to not believe
Even when my eyes can’t see
And this mountain that’s in front of me
Will be thrown into the midst of the sea.
Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
Through it all, through it all, it is well
Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
And it is well with me.
It Is Well / Lyrics / Kristene Dimarco / Bethel Music

Pope Family

I don’t have enough words to describe how much I enjoyed meeting the Pope family and working with them. From beginning to end, they were intriguing in every way. I am beyond blessed that God regularly puts the most amazing humans on my path. And boy oh boy, I got work on the ocean…and caught a beautiful sunset for this precious family!

When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say: I used everything you gave me. ~ Erma Bombeck
