Through the years, you all have made LGP nothing short of a dream job for me. Without you, it is nothing. When I first started, I had very little confidence in my work, wanted to DIE before each session, and faced ridicule from folks who thought I was crazy for thinking I could ever make it work ("I mean, what do you mean you 'take pictures'?"). Through the years, confidence in my work has grown, I still keep it simple, my heart is still completely in it, I still get nervous before every session, I've met and reconnected with the most awesome people, and earned your trust and loyalty, which is by FAR, my favorite part. I wouldn't have dreamed it would ever go this far. I genuinely love you all. I love watching your children grow. I love watching you go from an engaged couple to having 3 kids and a dog. I follow each of you to the most important days of your lives and I am humbled and honored that you allow me to do so. I love what I do, and I hope you all feel that. It has been a rough couple of years for me and my family. I lost my confidence, my purpose, my passion for this work....thank you to those who have checked in on me and wished me well without digging for details. It's hard to hold your head high and humbly re-emerge, asking you to believe that I can still work my way around a camera and capture so much more than fake poses and smiles.....but that's what I'm doing. Can't keep a good man down, right?
