Wow what a wickedly packed few weeks we've had!! We've got tons o' stuff to post. 4-5 weddings, engagements, tons of seniors, portfolio shoots, and a couple commercial shoots. Our heads are still spinning and we are barely alive. Anywho, we're hoping to make first fridays again so if you're down in the area shoot us an email we'd love to see ya!! layta peeps!

Thoughts of the future....

School's done I can't believe it!!! First it was 6 years in the Navy, then 5 years in college + Summer School(changing your Major will set you back a bit). Its been a tough 11 years at one point I held 4 jobs, what a mistake that was. But these last few months were the most rigorous; trying to control a growing business, keeping up with a more than full college schedule, starting a new development project, and trying to dedicate time to my family was massively difficult. But I managed and I realize today how open the horizon is....Our future is what we make it to be. I've always told the people that I've mentored, "regardless of your greatest successes and your most dismal failures you most always KEEP MOVING FORWARD. Change is inevitable, we must always move towards it"

My Wife....

My wife and I have experienced so many changes over the past few years and not all of them were good, some were devastating losses and others life changing gains, but every step of the way she was always by my side, always. When I was on the other side of the World in Conflict, or on the other side of the state on some humanitarian effort, she supported me regardless of my cause; through thick and thin she was there. Behind every Man there is a great Woman holding him together and helping him to stay on track. Happy Mother's Day to some of the strongest Women in our lives....Thank you for being our strength.

Yay! Chris graduated from ASU yesterday. We're sooo excited that he's done!!! :o)

A dangerous job or a clutz?

We were out shooting an engagment session with Tom & Michelle, and they wanted to incorporate Tom's car into the engagement session because it's one of his passions to restore vehicles. So we had this brilliant idea of heading out to the desert. We get there and we're stopped by security telling us we had to have a permit. I'm thinking, what in the heck is security doing out here?! Turns out we were on the property of a nearby resort. Chris then leaves to go and talk to whoever he needs to talk to. He turns to me and says, "keep shooting." Talk about being put on the spot! I'm standing there thinking, ideas?!, ideas?, ideas?!

We or I mean, "I" continue the session and we're trying to hurry because we had a pretty good feeling we had to reschedule for a later date and there was going to be fee. While I'm rushing around I scraped my foot on a piece of branch..ouch! My foot is sort of bleeding but I finish up until Chris gets back to tell us we have reschedule.

When we get home, Chris starts taking out these HUGE splinters. Very painful! (i'm a wimp) The next morning I wake up to find my foot swollen. Chris finally convinces me to go to the doctor because he said it's probably infected and I wouldn't want my foot cut off!! Rude!

I get to the doctors office, and it's infected. So the doctor puts me on antibiotics and gives me a tetnus shot! Turns out later that day, I have an allergic reaction to the shot. I started to break out in hives and my arms and face got super swollen! I go back to the doctors the next day and I'm given all these pills to take! Ugh!!!!! ...oh and I can't wait until their wedding at the end of the month. :o)
