He’s a genuinely good guy. First impressions say a lot about a person…. maybe even the things they try to hide. My first impression of Chris was just that… he’s a genuinely good guy. He loves the Lord. He loves my friend. He loves people and does his best to help where he can. He’s […]

After coming back from the Middle East, spending time shooting an engagement shoot with Billy Jack and Alissa was PERFECT. Truly a blessing. Seriously…. it was a gorgeously sunny San Diego day, both Billy Jack and Alissa looked amazing, and we had such fun exploring around San Diego finding cool places to shoot! Before I […]

Today was beautiful. Today was inspiring. The air felt full of creative vapor. I took a deep breath and gave it my all. Here’s a sneak peek from today’s engagement shoot with Chris and Chelsea…. more to come….

I saw this one movie one time where the father of the main character tells her that everyone has the exact love life they want. I watched that movie like 5 years ago… and I’m still not sure what I think about that statement. But something I do know is that life is made up […]

Apparently there are many sites “scholars believe to be the actual site”, however, this one was supposedly the most accurate. Haha. Over 25 members of our Horizon […]

It has been a whirlwind couple of days… we’ve learned a ton from our expert guides Mido and Aladdin and we’ve seen some amazing places specifically talked about in the bible! From Cairo, we took a quick flight to St. Catherine and prepared for a sunrise hike up Mt. Sinai. After a delightful 3:30am wake […]

Hey everyone! It’s late here in Cairo… we’ve had a jam packed day… but I wanted to share just a few shots from today with you before I hit the sack. Today we traveled back through the ancient world of Egypt, some of the places we visited date back to 1000+ years prior to Abraham! (It […]

So…. I leave in 9 hours and I’m still not packed. Everything’s there… I promise! It just hasn’t hit me yet… that I’m leaving on a trip of a lifetime. This trip has been on my “bucket list” since forever… and the only response I can muster up when people ask me if I’m excited […]
