Life Moves On While You Stand Still
Parked on a little gravel shoulder that leads into a quarry area in the early evening after all workers had called it a day and gone home for dinner, I leaned against the side of my car and waited. It only took me 5 minutes to shoot multiple images and capture 5 red vehicles in the mix. This was my favorite. Perspective is everything and you only ever control how fast you choose to move – the rest of the world keeps its own pace.

She Wasn’t Sure Where She Ended And He Began
I took this sunset image from a moving vehicle over a year ago. It is among my favorite images I’ve created so far. The sun seems to be trying to reach out to the mingling, intertwined trees as they embrace one another, warming this moment and their touch. At the same time, it looks to spread across the land, desperately holding on to each moment that is escaping as it sinks lower. Soon it will be too dark to see anything.

In These Quiet Moments Love Speaks Loudest
My little 3 person family took a few trips to the beach last summer. On one of those trips we drove almost all the way there and then stopped in a hotel for the night before heading out for beach frolicking fun the next morning. This is a candid monochrome from that hotel. John is looking over at Braden, our (then) 6 year old, in the other bed. His expression speaks volumes. I love moments like this. Capturing them feels like being able to work real magic, the kind that will allow you to travel through time later, or the kind that lets you see inside of someone’s heart. -
All That’s Left Undone
Eyes that are gray
Can’t see behind the stains
Of blurring stars
And bleeding sunI wish I could stay
Or silence the rain
The solid bars
Of all that’s left undone -

Birthday Balloons are the BEST!
seven years ago
i saw your face for the first
time – it was perfectin so many ways
you have changed, grown, and flourished
but this fact remainsyou will always be
the best thing that has ever
happened to your mom***
This photo is from Braden’s 1 Year Birthday. Today he turns 7.
The time is flying by, but I cherish everything, and with each passing day, ever more so. -
