baby charles - 2 days old

Our good friends margie and brian had their first baby a couple days ago. We got to visit the little dude 2 days after he was born. He's soooo little!

I love capturing these moments when parenthood is still so fresh and mommy and daddy are still so much in love and in awe of their little man.

Here's a few of our favorites....

come to the edge.....

'come to the edge' he said
'we are afraid' they said
'come to the edge' he said
they came.
he pushed them...and they flew!

- guillaume apollinaire

As my wife kim and I were pondering leaving my full time job of 10 years and embark on the risky proposition of doing photography full time, one of our closest friends quoted this to us. This amongst other signs confirmed our desire to jump off the edge and into the open unknown.

Like you we have dreams. Like you we have visions of what our lives could be. And like you we want to see them come to reality. And so this continuation of our journey here takes an interesting turn into what we believe moves us closer to our hearts desire.

We love what we do! What an honor we get to document with our own unique perspective the beginning of families! We get to document and freeze moments which none of us ever want to end. We love the opportunity we get to meet excited and in-love couples!

We also love the freedom this new business venture will give us. Freedom to pick and choose what we do and where we do it. Freedom to respond to whatever needs come before us. My wife and I have a love relationship with the third world. We have both experienced it and long to be in contact with it, pour our lives into it and do our little bit to touch lives there. We can't wait to start connecting with people in places like Haiti, Kenya, India, Ecuador and many more. We can't wait! And we can't wait to take you; our friends, family and fans; into these places via our photography and our trips.

We are beyond excited and yet also afraid. Because we have no idea what is next, we have no idea how things will play out, we don't know how it will be provided for. But we do know that we are in the right place and moving in the right direction and we are in good hands, VERY good hands! :) And so we move forward. With a reborn tenacity for making the work of our hands on this earth matter and a reborn compassion for helping others in need.

Stay in touch! Wether it's this blog, our facebook page or website. We can't wait to share our lives with you!
