blog introduction

Welcome to my blog. I hope you find it entertaining, enlightening, and a source of amusement and inspiration. I more so hope it somehow triggers you to inquire about my photography services. I actually do prefer the latter part. (just being honest)


2008 was a year of some serious changes for our family. My wife went back to work after having been a stay-at-home mom for about 7 years. I quit my job managing a small family-owned business and decided to turn my side photography job of 10 years into a full-time gig. In addition to being a photographer, I also am a stay-at-home dad. Our youngest daughter, age 4, is my trusty sidekick while the rest of the fam is in school and at work. She is my Tanto, except for the fact that she speaks better English, and doesn’t have a horse (although she occasionally attempts to ride our dog). We have interesting experiences together. She’s a trip. God definitely gave all of our kids unique personalities. This one in particular is a real piece of work. Sweet Moses is she ever.


Being a stay-at-home dad is pretty much how most people envision it. I do the cleaning, laundry, and usually have dinner ready or at least started when the other 3 return home. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank the person responsible for coming up with the idea of rotisserie chickens available at most grocery stores. Sir or madam, you are a national treasure in my mind.


In summary, this blog will touch on a variety of issues: family life anecdotes, domesticated issues, random thoughts, of course photography, and whatever else I care to share with the world. As far as a frequency goes, it’s hard to say. Check back periodically for updates and tell your friends as well. And if you don’t have any friends maybe just inform a family member instead.
