There isn't a whole lot that you need to know about me that you wouldn't learn from spending 15 minutes with me. I smile a lot. I laugh at just about everything. I am a hugger. I am in love with the idea of love. I use the word cute far more than socially acceptable for a guy. And if you have junior mints on you or in the vicinity, I am liable to eat them all. I wish I could tell you some fancy story about how I am an artist and years of punishment and toil have motivated me to take on this path… but that would just be a lie. The truth is far less interesting. After many years pursuing a future I was groomed for, I found the creative outlet I had been looking for my entire life in a camera and a picture of my son. I live a pretty surreal life these days. I take pictures of amazing couples in love. I get to hop on planes and travel all over this blue marble to hang out with people on the biggest day of their lives. I am wildly fulfilled and exceptionally happy. If I ever lament or you don’t see me smiling, smack me. Okay?
