February 2012

About 6 years ago, photography finally began to have purpose. I had spent so much time shooting fashion, commercial and a few weddings but really couldn’t make sense of it all. I knew that I loved being a photographer, but I didn’t want to be cookie cutter. I didn’t want to be like everyone else.

One of my personal goals was to at some point and time photograph my pastors, Drs. Mike and Deedee Freeman. They are truly two of the most interesting and charismatic people that I know. I love their personalities, their heart for humanity and their sense of style. The opportunity presented itself in 2006 and I haven’t looked back. I have been fortunate to photograph them for many of their speaking engagements and for editorial work that has been published on several occasions.

This cover photograph below was for the premiere issue of their Marriage Made EZ magazine.

Like many others, with a new year you often find yourself pondering on things from the past and hopefully you are in a position to have a positive outlook on the future. I am no different. I recall my outlook on life and business prior to getting married and having children and I can say that now my focus is even more clear..

However I do find those times that I have asked myself questions and challenged myself as to maybe why I am doing certain things in business. Was it for money? Success? Fame? In 2012, the answer to these questions has evoked change… a change for the better. I have made a promise to myself to work with a purpose. This includes the assignments that we accept, the clients that we work with and the purpose of it all.

My ultimate goal in life is to spend time with my family and to do that I have to make the best decisions in a life that is choice driven.

This face always makes me smile!
