Welcome to the blog

Last Monday, I had the opportunity to be present for Arely and Fernando’s elopement. In front of my camera, they were a reminder of how balance in a relationship is important. Arely has been a great friend for almost ten years; some of the best years of my early twenties were spent with her laughing […]

Nearly a year ago, everyone wore their cowboy boots and danced to Ocean Front Property. It was my cousin’s birthday and we were out to celebrate; as usual, everyone introduces themselves and their friends. When Alex introduced his friends and Lily, Neto asked, “Is that his girlfriend?” Little did anyone know, but he ended the […]

Natalie and Eric met in Politics class, while he slept through the class, and she listened attentively to her worst subject. To make up for the lack of interest in that subject, she put together a study group. Well, it turns out that everyone to attend the study group cancelled, except Eric. Next time around, […]

Yesterday, I began to question, “what is my purpose?” My daily task are mundane. I wake up, I work out, research how to be a better photographer, practice shooting, I come to the office, answer phones, go home, make dinner, clean my house, take Frank for a walk, watch an hour of television until someone […]

I took Frankie on a walk today. On our walk, I had time to reflect upon my life. About a week ago, I thought, I am going in so many directions; I have to choose one. At first, I thought I had to go on a mission trip, help people, and explore the world with […]

I look at life much like a CFO of a company would…charts, schedules, and financial statements. I’ve always wanted to be the dreamer and not the thinker of my life, but there I go pulling out the yellow office depot notepad calling for some serious business and thinking. If our heart does not push us […]

Perfectionism. My biggest problem. I am the person that goes to bed every night with an agenda for the next day, perhaps the whole month. Goals, ambitions, sticky notes, 2 notebooks, more notes on my iPhone, a desk calendar, my iPhone calendar, and more notes on pretty flowery paper. I wish I had less self […]

It’s almost unfathomable when someone you love is gone. From the day I met the Moreno family, they introduced me and welcomed me into their family with gracious love. At every event (birthdays, weddings, reunions) we laugh loudly, talk loudly, and enjoyed great Tejano music. Today, our prayers and love go out to the Moreno […]

This Christmas, we spent most of our evening into the early morning at the hospital at my mom’s bedside. I saw the value of my family, together huddled up around my mom comforting and loving her. That day was the fourth day in my life I saw her at her least best, hunched over into […]

The past year I have been struggling with questions and thoughts that no one can really answer but myself. I’ve kicked myself in the head several times for not asking the right questions, so my New Year’s resolution is coming at you kind of early. Second chances mean I have to work harder to conquer […]
