Sarah’s First Communion Portrait

Virtue passes easily from a mother into the hearts of her children, who readily copy what they see her do.

Sarah’s First Communion Portraits

After several false starts Mother Nature was finally on our side. This past weekend Pauline & Luis joined me for a stroll around South Florida for a fun-filled engagement shoot. We were fortunate to capture some amazing images as we navigated the pre Super Bowl chaos on Ocean Drive. I am really looking forward to their wedding.

We were fortunate to come across some of Shepard Fairey’s recent work in Wynwood. You can see some of my previous use of Fairey’s work here.

I love this image from Monica + Carlos’ wedding. The pensive, almost prayer like emotion in her face just moments before her wedding at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens.

The unimaginable has occurred, the experts are estimating over 200,000 dead and millions homeless. Please help the victims of Haiti today.

Get a look inside Ocean Way Studio in Nashville as Michael W. Smith and some awesome musicians donate their time and talents to make a song for Haiti relief.

Google has also setup a page for donations to multiple charities.

The Gospel Reading for January 8, 2000

—–

Jesus and his disciples went into the region of Judea,
where he spent some time with them baptizing.
John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salim,
because there was an abundance of water there,
and people came to be baptized,
for John had not yet been imprisoned.
Now a dispute arose between the disciples of John and a Jew
about ceremonial washings.
So they came to John and said to him,
“Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan,
to whom you testified,
here he is baptizing and everyone is coming to him.”
John answered and said,
“No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven.
You yourselves can testify that I said that I am not the Christ,
but that I was sent before him.
The one who has the bride is the bridegroom;
the best man, who stands and listens for him,
rejoices greatly at the bridegroom’s voice.
So this joy of mine has been made complete.

He must increase; I must decrease.”

-John 3:22-30

“This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;
This one shall be called ‘woman,’ for out of ‘her man’ this one has been taken.”

-Genesis 2:23-24
