I think the pure and honest moments result in the holy grail of images. Moments like this one with Monique when she was resting and waiting while we bustled around setting up lights and whatnot. Her body looked so natural. There were none of the usual attempts to twist...

This video is from our first photoshoot together back in February. I posted it originally for ModlBody.com and I am sharing it here now. It’s a fun little story. We have shot many times since and I hope we will do many more, she is a really great person...

Six months ago, we took foster placement of a little boy named Cole.  Yesterday we adopted him. We adopted Cady and Emma earlier this year. For the past four years, Ana and I have been foster parents.  It’s been life-changing.  We have aged tremendously, and we have lived exceptionally....

As a father and a taxpayer, I can’t help but look at the state of our world and ask myself who the heck raised these fools.  My grandmother was the most significant influence in my life, and she was born in 1917 in the prairie province of Saskatchewan in...
