This has got to be one of my favorites of all time. Ever. I think that might be because I shot these guys' engagement, their wedding...and now they have a baby. Sweet.

Where it all began
I think about this a lot. People ask me, too. What made you get into photography? Well, truth be told; some of it had to do with my Dad. He was a classic darkroom enthusiast. I am sure if I went back home I would find some of the developing equipment in the basement. He simply had a pure love for the whole process. The mechanics of it. He worked on boats. Garage had more tools than you knew what to do with. He bought a remote shutter release for the old Pentax K-1000. A "squeeze bulb" attached to a long skinny tube that triggered the shutter when squeezed. Cool. I remember that.
I really wasn't too fascinated about it back then. But, I always enjoyed spending an afternoon browsing the drawer full of prints we had accumulated.
Flash forward to 2004! This photograph is permanently etched into my mind. I call it my "blueprint" for how I do things today. I shot this with an Olympus D550z digital camera. It's now the equivalent of a VCR to the camera world. It had a slide-away front cover.
Here, we have the beautiful Ellie ...soon before she turned 2. She is lit from the front by the sun reflecting off of our house. And from behind the beautiful backlight. This angelic shot still mesmerizes me to this day. I could look at it again and again and never tire of it.
