I was never taught how to photograph. I've just always done the best that I could. I am however, a constant student and have inspirations from all over. When it comes to portraits, is like none other, in my opinion.

After reviewing his recent feature, I felt inspired! So, I talked my daughters into letting me shoot them over the weekend. The twins wanted nothing to do with it 😂.

As a Dad that just loves to create, Harv, I appreciate you making me want to be better. 🙏

So, s**t. Here we are. Here I am.

I wrote a book.

What started as a solo road trip across the country in 2022 somehow turned into the most difficult, heartbreaking, beautiful four years of my life.

Since then, I’ve lost jobs, watched my wife survive a brain hemorrhage, lost my Dad and sister three days apart, and watched our family home burn in a fire.

Somehow… through all of it… I kept writing.

The book is called “Three Little Birds.”

It’s raw. Honest. Imperfect. And probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done.

I shared a full update on the website for anyone who wants to follow along as this thing moves toward publication over the next few months.

Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me along the way. Seriously.

These are some shots from Friday night's 7on7 at Hilliard Bradley. Although the lighting was amazing, the angles weren't great from the stands. As always, please share, download, print, whatever you want!

We took the twins to the in Canton, OH over spring break. It wasn't the easiest to photograph, as most things were in glass cases. But, this will give you an idea. And yes... I found a car to photograph! Pro Football Hall of Fame

3,500 people follow this Instagram
page… and I don’t take that lightly.

Most of you didn’t come here for perfect photos.
You came for something real.

I’m still figuring it out. Still learning. Still creating.

But if anything I’ve shared has made you feel something… that means everything to me.
