Wish Upon A Wedding

The best thing you can do with your life is learn how to give back. Help those that are less fortunate, unable, or in need. I try to approach every situation with the mind set of "everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." I know it sure helps me get over getting rudely cut off on the freeway...maybe their father just had a heart attack and they need to get to the hospital. Who knows. It helps not to judge a situation you can't fully see.

I just recently got involved in what I think is a WONDERFUL organization: Wish Upon a Wedding. It's a network of wedding professionals that donate their time and services to help give the terminally ill a dream wedding. Am I curing cancer? No. But I believe everyone deserves to be the king and queen of the ball for a day. Think of all the beautiful memories that will be created and savored on such a beautiful day.

I encourage all of you to find a cause you can get involved in to change a life or many lives. Sometimes a simple smile is all someone needs to have their day turn around. Holding a door open for a stranger can go a long way. You never know how a random act of kindness can affect someone. I can't tell you how many times an unexpected kind word has warmed my heart.

If you want to get involved with Wish Upon a Wedding start by checking out their website: http://wishuponawedding.org/ and see what good YOU can do.

Dedicated to all our men in service that help make this country a safer place on this memorial day. Thank you.

the beginning

Since before I can remember...I've loved photography. Case and point: this is me...around three:

So it's no surprise in high school I was the yearbook editor and documented our senior year with relish. This only ignited my passion. I went on to pursue a degree in graphic design and brought my love of people and design together in photography. Being a newly wed myself, nothing brings a smile to my face faster than people in love. Whether they are fiances, husband and wife, or mother and child. Capturing happiness and affection in a photo is my passion. Provoking an emotion without using a single word makes the feeling more personal. I don't only believe that a picture says more than a thousand words, it's a moment in time that's eternalized in the form of art. That's why each picture photo shoot I do, I like to personalize. I want you to see yourselves when you look at them. Email, call or facebook me to document your most precious moments.

Can't wait to hear from you.
