Besides being beautiful, thoughtful, compassionate, downright sexy, and an amazing mommy, Steph has some serious photography skills.
In her ‘free’ time (while taking care of a one-year-old with more energy than Wake Electric and a 1-week-old who eats eight times a day) this week she took some amazing pictures of our daughter.
This is one of my [...]

I like editing photos when I have some time to kill.
It relaxes me and helps me to exercise a creative part of me that I don’t get to use very often.
I got up a little early this morning and curled up with some coffee and my computer, and here’s what I came up with.
Everything that [...]
One major change that has come with becoming a daddy in the past year is that my free time has become very rare, and therefore, precious.
Yesterday, I got a chance to get out on my bike for maybe the second time this year. I was so excited and it was such a pretty day that [...]
I am absolutely a sucker for the Fall.
Cool weather.
Hot coffee.
Bright colors in the trees.
No mosquitoes…
Last week, I found this girl hanging out on our back porch, and she graciously agreed to pose for a couple of photos.
I don’t really get into the whole Halloween deal, and I know spiders really freak some people out, but [...]
Please don’t think we worship our son or anything!
We just really enjoy photography, and Josiah lets us take as many pictures of him as we want.
You can see the rest of ‘em here…
My amazing wife went out of her way to give me one of the best birthdays of my whole life this year.
She spent weeks planning and plotting, and I felt every bit of the love she put into it.
Here are a couple of the pics…
I know there are a handful of dangling loose ends on ye ol’ blog… I’ve been staying plenty busy lately with some side-work and some really neat things that God has been doing in our lives! Plus, two parents training for a half-marathon with a very mobile little 9-month-old turns out to be pretty time-consuming!
One [...]
Alright folks.
After much sorting and deleting, here is our vacation through a lense.
A few of my favorite pics are below.
You can see more from Stone Mountain here, more from the Georgia Aquarium here, and more from the rest of our vacation here.
(PS – There are 28 pictures below, so please be patient if it takes [...]
We took about a bazillion pictures last week on our little vacation, and I’m looking forward to going through them all with Stephanie and eventually sharing them with you.
I want her to help me pick the ‘family’ pictures we post here.
In the meantime, here are a few ‘artsy’ pictures I took during the first 24 [...]
I know nobody cares about pictures without people in them, but I’m stuck waiting for something, so here are a couple shots from the last week or two.
The flower is from our front yard, and the field was just something that caught my attention one day when I happened to have the camera in the [...]
This weekend, Steph and I went to the ‘Gotta Be NC’ festival.
This is basically a miniature state fair, only it’s a whole lot cheaper. Admission is free, parking is free, and most of the vendors were pretty reasonable.
We had a great time hanging out with each other and with Josiah, and we took at LOT [...]
