Nate

This week is one of those great weeks when i get to have my son with me! He has got to be the best kid ever! He is so well mannered, and get very very hyper! Which i guess comes from me.... I know it comes from me and the part of me seems to have been worn out this week. I haven't been the most fun dad this week. I've been working on pictures and other web stuff, trying to get my photography site noticed a bit more. I've spent a lot of time on Lynda.com studying. It takes me a few times of going over something to finally get it and have that - Oh I get it! moment -  Nate has come in quit a few times after school asking for things and I have been in the middle of a frustrating moment which tend to make me ignore everyone and come off a bit...... bitter. I have said I'm sorry to Nate so many times this week! Had to again yesterday. I always tell him, "I'm sorry buddie, I love you a lot, I just gotta get this stuff in my head. Sorry." I took him out last night to a little park after dinner for a tiny bit of fun and shot a few pix and today is a new day! I haven't gotten as much sleep as i would have liked to but, I'm gonna have some fun with Nate and Wendy today. We are going to Adventure Island which happens to one of Nate's favorite places!

the party

I had the great pleasure of meeting a really cool guy recently, Jamaris! 

Seriously one of the coolest guys i have ever met. He called and asked if i could shoot for his 25th birthday and do a fashion shoot before. I of course said yes! sounded like a fun opportunity! I had no idea how fun it would be or how many really great people I would meet that evening. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of something so special for Jamaris, his friends and family. Thank you so much Jamaris for including me in that part of your life!

Finally

After working and studying for a while yesterday I finally got my blog up and linked to my http://12-1photography.smugmug.com/ page! I'm a genius! Not really, I'm kinda slow with web stuff. I ended up calling my friend Chris with Christopher Visuals to help me, since he had done it with his site. He is the genius! Speaking of Chris! We have decided to start another photography business together, offering two photographers for every wedding! Check out Evo Imagery ! Its a mix of my photojournalism and his fashion photography, So so Cool! Everyone should have it!  Before I go here is another picture of a really cute, extremely fun couple I have the privilege of doing their engagement pictures and who's wedding will be in November! I'll be posting a lot more as I play catchup for missing the last 3 years of blogging

My new blog

This is my first blog mainly geared toward my photography business. I'm pretty excited to see what happens with all this stuff and am now going to study on www.Lynda.com to see how i might be able to get this thing hooked up to my site! I think is't gonna be a long road to learning and I wonder how I can get my brain to be up to the challenge! I do love coffee, but after all these years of coffee it might be wearing off! Oh God No! I plan to have many post with pictures of recent weddings I have had the privilege of shooting and telling a bit about the awesome couples I get to hang out with all the time! This is Star and Aaron, one of the coolest couples I ever met. So laid back and so fun! I had a great time doing their wedding and got some really great Cake! I LOVE Cake!
