I said that big things were in store in 2012 and I wasn’t kidding! Life is about giving back and this month I want to honor and bring family to the forefront of people’s minds. Family are usually the ones that will be in your corner even when it seems like nobody’s there. A family will be there to fight your battles when the world’s on your shoulders. Family knows you better than anyone else, and family should treat you better than anyone else. We don’t choose them and we don’t have a choice, but they are our family and its not so much the similarities (because let’s face it…...

So this month isn’t even over and it’s been a crazy one at that! I still have a half a dozen photo shoots I still need to finish by august including a wedding and I will have to say this has been by far the MOST hectic month I’ve had this year! Don’t get me wrong its been amazing at the same time though; I shot a fashion show, had my images posted and accepted into a handful of blogs, and possibly headed into print (woohoo I can then be called a “printed/published” photographer), I assisted in a shoot for a major...

I have been posting the updates of the Aksel Paris site as I have received word of it and have been crazy busy the last few months working on it as well. Not long ago I was contacted and asked to be the photographer to photograph this season's new collections from Aksel Paris. Shortly after we had spent a few months strategizing the most effect way to capture this new collection as well as creatively find the best way to photograph Aksel's newest collection of outerwear "The Courchevel Collection" (coats).....

It's been almost one year since I truly started off this "photography thing" and I can't believe how much I was able to do in a year! I was able to: shoot for the largest fashion show in the west coast, photography a handful of weddings, travel to haiti and photo-journal my experience, work with a few dozen models, be ringside of a muay thai competition, capture amazing portraits of couples, families, and children, post a handful of photography and so much more! I went from just a few hundred views a month on this site to on average about 1,000± views a month and hope to continue in that trend...

Raising Awareness is great as long as there is a goal in mind. When I first thought about this I thought it was kind of silly to “raise awareness” for something but a good friend of mine explained it that the goal in mind is that when u see these images you will be reminded and hopefully it will spread so where someone out there somewhere can do something that will make a difference. Does one voice matter? Does one child matter? I guess if all this was done for one child I would still say it was worth it all…because to that child it meant the world for them. I did a cover song that my kids...

Sometimes it just takes a little bit of motivation.. We can be walking in the journey of life without a sense of direction… all it takes is a spark of interest that sets off a new passion… when we have the determination to strive for living above just enough we find ourselves at a fork in the road that crosses between what we want to be and where we are heading… Life’s a choice and we make them every day… to live the same way that most of us have been told we are to live...

This is a key characteristic I tend to always strive for... Excellence.. So what is excellence?
Excellence: excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better.

I always find that when I get to network with other industry professionals that it gives me perspective about photography. I happened to network an amazing photographer that has an incredible work ethic. Not that other photographers don’t but its one thing to have photography be your livelihood, its another to work in another industry while you build up your clientele, portfolio, and sharpen your tools as you are transitioning into another. Jay has always stood out for me, and mostly because we have similar positions, both of us are in the education field and looking to transition into an artistic...
