Sorry for the long gap since my last post. I've been recovering from Shannon's wedding on one hand and getting ready for Kaitlin's wedding in Sept on the other. My other daughter Kelly and her fiance announced their wedding in December. Our oldest son Sean announced that he and his bride were secretly married earlier... Continue Reading →
Today the first of our children, my oldest son Shannon is getting married to a wonderful wonderful gift from God! As I prepare to conduct the ceremony myself I wonder where the time went? How fast it passed by. Seriously it seems I just blinked, boom he’s a man getting married. My relationship with Shannon... Continue Reading →
Those of us who are believers in Jesus Christ know that we have been freed from the penalties due us via Jesus Christ. We fortunately do not get what we absolutely deserve and instead get what we don't deserve, to loosely quote one of my favorite Christian songs by The Newsboys, "Real Good Thing". That's...

Years ago I shot this image of a our friend Christie during her home birth. Normally, I would not shoot such a private moment, but this was a special case, with a special story. Leslie and Christie had become friends during a show they both performed about women having to give birth during the 1800's... Continue Reading →
I recently taught a wildflower photography workshop and shot this photo at one of our locations. Later when I pulled this photo up to edit, it really reminded me of our coming resurrection with many of the flower stems shooting towards the heavens. I usually hate to bring up the resurrection, because it seems like... Continue Reading →
There's nothing like arriving to the beach to find tons of seaweed washed up where you hoped to be swimming...unless you plan on just taking beautiful photos:) This photo reminds me of a sermon I once heard. It still ranks to this day as one of the best sermons I've ever heard. That could be... Continue Reading →
As those who know me, know that I love a good laugh. Growing up, our house was filled with laughter much of the time as us kids would listen from other rooms as my mom and her friends would write scripts for TV shows and a few theater productions. My eyeballs would bolt open to... Continue Reading →
Every year I produce a photo annual book of the best images I took the year before. Lately, I've been finalizing the 2010 edition and for some reason this image has been stuck in my head. It comes from a story my wife, Leslie (a writer) and I worked on for Texas Highways Magazine last... Continue Reading →
Back when my son Shannon was still in high school at Lake Travis in Central Texas he out of the blue decided to join the football team. I had mixed feelings about it, but that is another message for another day. The team was a good team, in fact the best the school had ever... Continue Reading →
Like most people I know, dawn is their favorite part of the day. Of course the problem is always dragging yourself out of bed to be there when it happens. I shot this photo in West Texas and dawn in West Texas is the best. This was one of those moments when I just pulled... Continue Reading →
One of my favorite things to do is drive in the mountains with just about any Brian Doerksen worship song blasting away. A few years back when my son Shannon and I made regular trips into the mountains to shoot photos together (for me to steal precious time with my son before he drifted away... Continue Reading →
I've always loved shooting trees and the above photo is one of my favorites in my library of images. After shooting the photos, I actually sat at the base of this tree and just rested and prayed. I marveled at all the limbs and wondered how deep the roots must go. The tree was estimated... Continue Reading →
