About Me

You are fearfully and wonderfully made, created with a purpose, a place to be, a time to be, and of immeasurable value. If I am able to portray this in my work then I will have accomplished a good thing. It's a privilege to help capture memories for others, taking pictures of people at all stages of life.

Zita and Eddie







Zita and Eddie are a wonderful couple. They are such an inspiration in that love really is timeless. They were married at 70 plus years of age. The both of them have such a spark for life and seize every day and all the possibilities that it has to offer. I'm sure these two will have lots of love to give to each other and those around them. Congratulations!

Ashley and Reed




Sarah and I had a nice time this weekend photographing Ashley and Reed's wedding out in Princeville, August 1. It rained for much of the time but the clouds did give way to letting Ashley get from one place to another dry. It was amazing at how many folks had traveled from all over to be at this wedding, I think there was a person who came in from Japan! Everyone got involved at the reception, even Sarah sang a line from a love song to Ashley and Reed. A taste of the wedding to come soon.

Tristen is sweet and a very good big sister to Lauren, she's growing up so fast. Lauren is a very small little thing, but don't let her size fool you, boy is she spunky with dancing eyes...she's a lot like her momma.
