Mamma always said life is like a box camera, you take a bunch of pictures and find out later what you got. Ha!!
Update - I have moved to Fredericksburg, VA! I will be back in the Texas area from time to time though. I will miss all my Texas friends, but I am very excited about working in a new area.
Grant and Nathan are growing like crazy! They are such awesome boys!! I sure love watching them interact with each other!
My poor sons are going to have billions of photos taken of them every year. Ha!!

I have loved art from the first moments I can recall. I have loved photography since then too. However, I was about 14 years old when I picked up my first SLR. My grandfather sparked the interest in me. He was a very talented World War Two photographer. There are very few places that I go to without my camera. I enjoy working with people from all over. I like being silly, having fun, and trying new things. I am very easy to work with, and I believe in setting good boundaries to keep everyone comfortable. I will never trade this line of work for any other. I am married and love being so.
My TFCD is very limited right now. I cover all types of modeling photography and I care very much about doing a great job. Feel free to check any of my references. Also, if you feel better having a friend with you on the shoot, then bring them. I am a people person, and don't mind at all as long as we can still get our work done. I have had a blast working with the models here on Model Mayhem.
I am also a wedding photographer. I have covered weddings all over the US; so I love to travel for weddings as well. If you let me know you came to me from Model Mayhem I will make sure to help you out! Feel free to check out my wedding work on my website.
Thanks so much for your time.
I wish the best of luck to you all.

This is Jack Moses. He is the person that got me into photography when I was just a teenager. Unfortunately he is on his last few years. Even though he is not doing very well, he still loves that I bring him photos from all of my recent shoots. He was a very talented and skilled photographer. Unfortunately he lost most of his work to an arsonist. I just hope that it brings him great joy to see what he has passed on. Wow, you should hear the amazing life stories this man can tell. They are stories that will stay with you for the rest of your life.
The second (sepia) photo was taken on 8-10-2009 - I thought there was no way Jack would make it this long, but the VA hospital has taken very good care of him.

These photos were taken on March 21, 2010. I got a call saying that Jack was in ICU on the 20th of March. We were at a baby shower in Houston. My wife and I left immediately to go and see him. They didn't think he was going to make it through the night. We left from Houston at 10pm and got to Little Rock at about 5am. It was so sad to see him like this. When Jack first realized who we were, I thought he was going to have a heart attack. All these machines started going crazy and he looked like he was in a panic. He could not say anything and it was making him so angry. They had to strap him down to keep him from pulling out his life support. We stayed in Little Rock until they were able to take him back off life support. I just hope that when I am in his position, I am not alone. Once he was able to talk to us, he told us how much it meant to him to see us. I want to have more time with him, but I know he does not have much time left. Keep Jack in your thoughts.
