Father & Son


One of the humbling things about being a photographer is that people allow me into their lives to witness and record special moments in their lives. What's more special to a family than their first child! Not much!

In this moment, a calm father provides the comfort for his equally calm son. I chuckle every time I see the shape of his cheeks and the look of "infant confidence" as he engages with me. I love that dad looks away as if to say, "I'm so lucky!" as he touches his tiny feet.

As he's only 3 months old, I look forward to photographing him throughout his life and be allowed to witness more of those moments that make up his life!

Grand Canyon of the Pacific


Who doesn't love a vacation? Especially in the winter when you have a hankering for sun and warmth! You've got to check out the island of Kaua'i, Hawaii. It should be the ONLY winter destination place but what would the Florida tourism department think about that?

One of Kaua'i's most noted destinations is Waimea Canyon. WOW! I've been to the Grand Canyon but when you add in the lush, rain infused vegetation, the color just screams back at you. I spent 2 hours at the lookout, watching the light change and hoping that the haze would burn off. It didn't and I got a sunburn! A volcano on another island erupted so the particles were in the air. This image is 3 images merged together to form a panorama. Awesome!

Stay tuned here because I'm going to post images from my open cockpit helicopter tour of this canyon and the Na Pali coast. It's the ONLY way to see the remote areas of the island unless you want to play "Lost."
