"The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works the best is family"

Today I took Phil and Clare Torola's family pictures! Clare and I have been friends for a long time and it's so exciting to see her family grow!

"The family is a haven in a heartless world"

This past Saturday I took Corey and Leahs family pictures with their kids McKenna, Jersi and Jamison! It was a great experience!

"Life is like a good black and white photograph, theres black, theres white and lots of shades in between"

Just some black and white photographs

"The Goal is Not For the Photographer to Change the Subjects But For the Subjects to Change the Photographer"

One day Jess and I both had work off so we decided to take some creative shots. She was a great model for me! A few days later I was able to take Erin Johnson and Kirk Aho's pictures! They were a great couple to practice on! I was able to capture some very natural shots of them together!

"I'm Ready For My Close Up"

Just a few Macro shots I've taken from time to time. They tend to make me find the beauty in even the smallest of objects with the details captured.

"The Earth Laughs in Flowers"

Visiting my aunt Ellen and uncle Pete Torola at their "Casita" in Calumet. There were so many beautiful flowers!
