his past week I met with a girl named Haily for a cup of coffee. Haily is a sophomore in high school with a huge love for photography, God, and people. We talked about starting a business, combining photography with a passion for God, and other inspirational things. Haily has a soft spirit.

It inspires, it moves, and it encourages me to see things differently. Yesterday, we scoured the city for new photo spots for todays engagement shoot. It was a visual firework for me to see new places to... View Full Post

I posted this video because I found so much inspiration by watching Manuel find his passion through golf. Just like photography or anything else in life, when you find something you love, the impossible can be made possible. Let me know what you think. View Full Post
