Don't worry you dont need too many, the fewer the better :) I like the intimate feel of the shots.

jesus house dc - "biazo" 2009 event

May 18, 2009 // other special events

so, everyday this week, i'll be posting pictures from events, personal projects and photo shoots from the last few weeks. so come back often.

in march, my church (jesus house dc-- in silver spring, md) asked me to photograph the month long event going on. it was a lot of fun and definitely inspirational. i felt blessed attending each of the events, and already can't wait for next year's.

enjoy some of the pictures from each of the event by clicking here for the slideshow. i randomly selected about 200 pictures out of almost 2,500.

for jesus house members and guests that attended biazo this year, i'll post more information tomorrow, 5-19-09, on how to download your picture for practically free. enjoy!!!

hi.

May 15, 2009 // Personal

it really has been a crazy, but great, year. there's no real excuse for me not posting on my blog though. i have some making up to do.

one of my goals for this blog was to not only post recent photos, but also to post personal stuff going on with me...that way you can get to know me better. i believe that's important when choosing a photographer. so i promise to share more (as one of my readers put it). hopefully you guys would leave comments. and questions.

also, look out for some wedding photos, fashion portraits, and engagement sessions in the next few days. for now, let me get some things done-- i'm attacking my to do list through out today, so i can have a relaxed weekend :-)

"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; its when you had everything to do, and you've done it."
