It’s that time of year again! I worked alongside a handful of other local photographers who donated their time to shoot a series of family portrait sessions.

These are my favorite ten photos from 2016. Each image tells a story. The cold hard truth of photography (and maybe you artists out there can relate) is that I’m really only happy with about .0003% of the images I make. I took 20,000 to 30,000 photos in 2016; I feel like I only shot, well, …

Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) on Cathay Pacific Airlines. It clocks in as the world’s eighth longest flight at an average of 16HRs and 8,059 miles.

Last summer my wife and I were fortunate enough to shoot some photos and video for the Shining Stars Foundation–an organization that helped my family in a hard season.

Over the course of that first year the doctors and nurses reminded us many times that “you fight this battle one day at a time; some days you just give thanks that it was a good day.” Today I have to give thanks. It’s hard to believe it’s been three years and four days since …

I tagged along with Gus Givemas Sr., a resident of Braithwaite, as he tried to access his home with no luck. His home was still flooded with nearly four …
I met Gloria while shooting disaster photos in Braithwaite, Louisiana after Hurricane Isaac flooded an eighteen mile stretch highway. Nearly every house along the eighteen mile stretch had been destroyed. Gloria had contacted Operation Blessing with a simple, heartfelt request. I suited up in protective clothing, strapped on a N-95 respirator, and headed into Gloria’s home with …

I’ll be honest up front: I’m not a head shot photographer by trade. I’ve been learning more about what makes a good head shot ever since I started shooting them a few years ago. Every time I shoot a head shot session I learn new tricks to getting a fantastic image. I spent a few weeks …
On April 4th tornadoes touched down in several places around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Within hours I was on a plane headed to Dallas.

Sláinte! My wife and I have been fascinated by Ireland for years. Luckily her ancestors are from Ireland, which makes me an honorary Irishman… I think.

A long, long time ago a fourteen year old version of myself found my dad’s old Canon AE-1. It sat in a box, taped up, with old cords and other junk. It was gathering dust, which made no sense to teenage me because, well, it looked so damn cool. I was surprised to find the …
