Welcome Hey, welcome to my blog!  I'm glad you found me.  I'm a Kansas City based photographer & videographer and I love capturing real, authentic moments.  From weddings to non-profit folks like Food for the Hungry, my life is filled with working with great people.  Feel free to look around and learn more about me, then let me know how I can be a part of capturing what's important to you.

I'm off to Dallas today for the Foundation Conference - it's made up of some of the best photographers in the world for  wedding photojournalism and I'm looking forward to meeting up with some of the folks that have spoke into & inspired my photography so much over the last year -

I'm big into learning and growing.
Constantly.
In fact, if I'm not doing that, I get really bored.
I'm currently getting certified in my video editing program, studying a ridiculous amount of photography and learning more cinematography.
I'm also about to teach a couple classes at Digital Labrador on video and editing with DSLR cameras.

I think there's a lot to learn about your field of work, but also personally.

I just finished Mark Batterson's In a Pit With a Lion on a Snowy Day and loved it. I highly recommend it for anyone, especially those that are letting fear keep them from doing something in their lives.

I recently started Donald Miller's latest A Million Miles in a Thousand Years - I've heard great things about it and so far they're all true -

I think sometimes we can get stuck and think we've arrived or we're good enough at something.  I don't ever want to be just "good enough". 

Do you?

Man i so appreciate you. U are constantly giving me a drive and a boost. I have got to a point were i am stuck not because i think i am good enough but nothing i do is good enough. It seems most of the time i know in my heart what i want but it doesn't come out. Every time i read your blogs i get fired up and start learning and get just the right nudge. Your the best man.....
