Small lives, big impact

Hold them close and hug them everyday. Because you never know how long we have on this earth. God bless all the families who mourn their loved ones today.

I'm getting ready to shoot a wedding with a lovely couple. As I research exactly how I want to word my contract with them, I stumbled across the horror stories from other photographers out there.

Watch the videos for the whole story. (There's a little swearing, so sorry to the sensitive followers) And visit the below listed site if you feel so inclined to support Nelson Tang.

While it is a little nerve wracking to see these issues, I'm still super excited for my wedding. Winter weddings always seem so magical.

Keep it classy,

Home

Home with the family this Thanksgiving and I sat next to my younger sister's school computer. She is 8 years old and is homeschooled through OHVA. Posted above her desk are three quotes. I feel like she has an old soul. "Wonder...is the cause of delight because it carries the hope of discovery." and "When you read, you shine a light. When you don't, you let darkness take you." This little girl is so well read it scares me. I wonder if I was ever this brilliant. I'm gonna guess no. Her artwork covers the walls and her attempts at ceramics decorate her shelf. I am so impressed everytime I see her. Her faith is evident by the statue of Mary next to her desk. Who is this person? I used to change her diapers, for crying out loud. Above is an old picture, but look at her. Would you imagine the wisdom that this zany kid imparts. Oy vey.
