2012 WAS A GOOD YEAR.

This is a bit late, but 2012 was a good year.  I stumbled into the world of international adoptions, and was floored by the unconditional love I saw from local foster families and forever families from all over.  I got the chance to travel a bit and document some inspired and inspiring love stories.  2013 is shaping up to be even more amazing, with plans already set for San Francisco, Charleston, New York City, Phuket and Bali.  I hope to spend more time developing personal projects this year, while continuing to master the difficult art of balancing work with family life.  Justin is turning 5 next month, and Joel will be starting pre-school in a few weeks.  Jenny is continuing her education with online classes, and I'm incredibly proud of her.  I want to be more present this year.  I'm incredibly blessed to be here.

UMI + BILL. CENOTE TRASH THE DRESS SESSION.

Umi asked me last year if I'd be interested in documenting her in her wedding dress in a cenote the day after her wedding.  Of course I said yes.  We travelled to Dos Ojos with some friends and family and jumped right in.

UMI + BILL. RIVIERA MAYA DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER.

Bill and Umi had a destination wedding at the Now Jade Resort in Riviera Maya and invited me to document their story.

WEDDING AT TREEHOUSE POINT. SEATTLE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER.

Jason and Jumana were married at Tree House Point, a place of such warmth and nostalgia. I was transported to my childhood, watching 'Swiss Family Robinson' with my dad, building our own treehouse in our backyard in rural Pennsylvania.
