Photos from Fira | Santorini Greece Travel Photographer

- - Comments Off on Photos from Fira | Santorini Greece Travel Photographer

Santorini is what I’ve always envisioned seeing on a trip to Greece.  It really was what motivated me to make this adventure happen.  Whitewashed villages against a bright blue sea.  Just like the pictures I’ve seen. Amazingly, Santorini is what was spewed up from an epic volcanic eruption many moons...

- - Comments Off on Life on a Greek Island |Corfu Greece Travel Photographer

My first stop in Greece was Corfu Island.  It is the second largest Ionian island and boasts the title of greenest and most beautiful (how can you pick just one?).  It has been conquered and occupied by some of the best and I honestly wouldn’t mind following suit at some...

Split Croatia | Croatia Travel Photographer

- - Comments Off on Split Croatia | Croatia Travel Photographer

I didn’t know much about Croatia before I visited and I wouldn’t mind going back in order to see everything I missed.  Split is the second largest city in Croatia.  I mostly stayed in Old Town and visited the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s sweet retirement Palace.  He moved out (or they moved...

Just a couple of weeks ago I was in Greece.  No matter how often I recall the experience it already seems so distant.  For some time I have wanted to grab my camera and make my way to Greece to capture a glimpse of life outside my USA.  So, I...

I had the honor of photographing my nephew’s wedding last month.  What an exciting challenge and a special event.  The wedding was special to our families for so many reasons this year.  I trust this young couple will make it because they have a focus other than themselves.  They don’t...

The Black Family – Dallas Family Photographer

Meet the Black family!  It was pleasure to spend time with them…which also meant Annie (the dog) and a few beautiful horses.  I love backyards without fences especially when they include a barn, ATV trails and an open range.  C’mon folks this is Texas.  And better yet Ennis, Texas…which means...

Isaac needed some quick and easy senior shots for an upcoming awards banquet, so we used his high school as a backdrop and spent some time walking around the campus.  We grabbed some interesting images before the sun slipped down for the evening.  The first in his family to attend...
