Josh & Melanie,

Thanks for allowing me to capture your special day. You both are beautiful people with loving hearts and creative souls; and I'm proud to call you my friends.

Today we recognize those who sacrifice so much for this great country. I'm so thankful for all our veterans, past, present and future; and very proud to say my brother is apart of that elite group of men and women.

Happy 236th Birthday Marine Corps. Thanks for protecting Old Glory.
Proud to say she flies in my backyard.

My sweet girl. About to be a big sis...

If you're interested in a challenging ride while taking in the beautiful Ozarks, mark November 12th on the calendar. All proceeds to charity. I want to say thanks to C-Payne for the opportunity to work on photos, video and t-shirt. He is actually starting an events company; so more cycling, 5K, triathlons in the future. This shoot was worth the hard work; but it made my head hurt.
