Puerto Rico: Calculated Risk

Last month I was able to take a vacation with my roommate in Puerto Rico to visit her oldest brother. Naturally I took my camera ready to capture what would come our way. A few of these photos were in or across a portion of water. Many times I had to calculate the risk of taking my camera in water over the potential outcome of the photographs I could take. Every time it was worth it and without that risk, many of these moments would not have been captured. Taking a chance is a part of life and makes us nervous, but it's a healthy nervous. It's okay to be challenged outside our comfort zone....better than wondering what it could have been. 

Thank you King family for letting me join in your vacation, it was the best one I've had.







Sibling fun.


This was captured in the water at Secret Beach.

Phelps' Wedding

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the Phelps' wedding. They were a great couple to work with and know how to throw a party. One aspect to photographing weddings is capturing moments...moments that only happen once and you either get it or you don't. The Phelps had many moments filled with great energy that burn into your memory. Here are a few moments from the reception.
