REVO New York

REVO NY was great. i was so thankful to be a part of it. i was lucky enough to be the photographer for the event and show my piece there. here's some of the highlights...
Brian Elmquist
Steven Delopoulos
Zach Williams
Stephanie Clemons
and finally, my piece. i was unable to hang it up, but i feel it had the same impact lying on the table. i am still grateful to them for letting me show my heart through this piece of art.

the boy who wears red shoes

wonderful new opportunities have recently sprung into my life. in less than two weeks i will be flying to new york city to spend a few days with my sister-in-law. while i am there i will have the privilege to photograph REVO NY. i was just blessed to have the chance to go, but now i even get to be a part of it! i am also going to submit a few photographs of my recent series, the boy who wears red shoes. 

this is a series about michael, the child i assist. he is a true blessing in my life. he brings my heart so much joy each day. i have been blessed to know him, watch him grow academically and socially, and watch how his life touches others. he is the friendliest child you will ever meet. you can't help but fall in love with him the second he smiles and begins to speak. the greatest blessing i get to see is how the children react to him. his best friends adores him and gently takes him by the hand an guides him throughout his days. the children at our school choose to love and accept michael. and it is beautiful to watch. as i have said before, michael truly is a joy to this world. 

rediscovering the telephoto lens

today was a lovely day to take pictures. recently i rediscovered my love for my canon 75-300mm telephoto lens. i enjoy shooting from a distance to get natural looking pictures. some of my favorite pictures from the wedding are the ones i shot with my telephoto lens.

today i decided to bring out my telephoto lens and take some pictures.

i caught him off gaurd... but i love the blurred background and the sharpness the lens creates.

sophia enjoying the beautiful day.
this one was not taken with my telephoto lens, but it was too adorable not to put up. she hopped right in there like she was ready to have her picture taken.

i am enjoying this rediscovery. i also hope to one day soon enjoy a macro lens and a wide angle lens. that would be awesome.
