A Month-In-Photos: October 2018
November 1, 2018
A selection of some of my best photos taken in October 2018. This month brought me life's highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I lost my friend, Laurin Bank to cancer, I really wish I would've had more time to get to know her. Her spirit in her fight has given me a blueprint on how to live a life without regret, she will be missed by all. I was honored to be the photographer at Kassy Alia and Mitch Ray's wedding, I wish them well in the next chapter of their lives.

August 13, 2018
A selection of some of my best photos taken in July 2018. It has been a very busy month for me... not that I'm complaining, I like having things to do. I believe I'm having a creative block lately, I haven't been super happy about what I've been able to create. I guess I'm growing as a creative, I believe I'm going through a growth spurt, it's not the first time this has happened in my life.
