It's an incredible spot, one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and despite my fear of heights I enjoyed sitting at a safe distance and enjoying the view.
Sunset
To me, it was just a sunset, not a particularly pretty one, nothing spectacular, just day slowly moving into night. But to him it was photograph worthy, to be oohed and aahed over, to be recorded and remembered as being spectacular.
Metairie Cemetery - New Orleans, Louisiana
This was our last cemetery stop on our trip in New Orleans and it turned out to be my favorite.
Dallas, Texas - 3 Favorite Things
Dallas seems to be a city we end up in a lot. Usually we're passing through, on our way to or from some place else, places down dirt roads and hiking trails. But this time we set it as our destination and took the scenic way down.
Glory Hole Fall Trail - Arkansas
At the base of the falls you can look up, into rushing water and sunlight, deafened by the roaring water.
Norman, Oklahoma - Murals and Tacos
Norman has a small town feel, maybe because of the collage, it seems that a lot of collage towns feel the same, but I always think of it as part of Oklahoma City for some reason.
Ann & Jeremy - Red Thread of Fate Portraits
I HAVE A STRANGE FEELING WITH REGARD TO YOU. AS IF I HAD A STRING SOMEWHERE UNDER MY LEFT RIBS, TIGHTLY KNOTTED TO A SIMILAR STRING IN YOU.

Geselle Fetchen 2017
Something I've found myself loving is photographing HEMA tournaments. When I picked up a camera a few years ago I never thought I'd be in the position to photograph this kind of thing.
Darrell Vannostran - Portraits - Plaza District
I've always loved the Plaza District and there are times when I really miss living in that area. It's changed so much over the last few years and become one of the coolest places in the city.
Oklahoma State Fair
I don't think anyone would argue if I said the best part is the food. I love the deep fried everything, especially the Twinkies.
Hot Springs National Park - Arkansas
THERE MUST BE QUITE A FEW THINGS THAT A HOT BATH WON’T CURE, BUT I DON’T KNOW MANY OF THEM.
— SYLVIA PLATH
"I got this."
Logically I know these moments are fleeting. Sometimes I feel it. And sometimes I feel like I'm doing good just to get their faces washed and teeth brushed.
Ashley Trattner - Portraits - Oklahoma City
I'm never going to get tired of bragging about my cousin. Seriously, this woman is incredible. She's dedicated, caring, and honest.
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve - California
It turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip. Maybe it was the time of day; the setting sun working it's golden hour magic, the ocean so clear and so blue, the wildlife, the flora, everything about this stretch of coastline was incredible.
Pintail Wildlife Drive - Louisiana
We found this short loop off a scenic highway in Cameron Parish and even on an overcast rainy day we still saw a lot of wildlife.
Sherry & Taylor - Red String of Fate Portraits - Oklahoma City
AN INVISIBLE RED THREAD CONNECTS THOSE WHO ARE DESTINED TO MEET
End of Summer
Just as I get used to the idea of summer, fall is here. At least according to a school calendar. It's been a really long time since I've had to worry about sticking to a school schedule. But this week my four year old starts pre-k.
Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge - Oklahoma
I never get tired of visiting the Wichita Wildlife Refuge, no matter what time of year I go, it's always beautiful. And the view from the top of Mt. Scott will always be one of my favorites. But going in the spring is the best time. Everything is in bloom, the rolling hills and plains covered in yellow flowers and cacti with purple blossoms.
Tara & Jonathan - Bird Mask Portraits - Oklahoma City
I was so excited when Tara said she was totally in for doing a mask photo session downtown Oklahoma City. I loved the idea of doing something out of the ordinary
San Juan Mission Cemetery - New Mexico
Cemeteries are always quiet, under sun or grey skies, whether the markers are decaying stone or wood.
