  Quick update on life: =) This is one of the few times you’ll see me on my own blog, so here I am =).  I managed to sneak away one weekend with some awesome friends to learn how to play golf.  Believe it or not it was my first time playing golf ever.  The closest thing to golf was miniature golfing and the driving range.  Anyways, we all had a great time honestly golfing can be a decent workout since there is a lot of walking.  I found it rather relaxing and it was nice to get away from all I have been doing.  With my schedule you wouldn’t think I would have time to play 9 holes of golf and I don’t.  However, life is too short to miss the moments with good friends.  Besides, I am paying for it now hahaha but its worth it.  Friends and family are what matter most to me in my life so any chance I get to be with them I do my best to make time for them.  You only have one life and who wants to work 80hr weeks like I do? Yes I work weekends too   but I love what I do.  =)  Vanessa, Dorthy and Kevin…thanks so much for being such a joy to be around and for teaching me the basics.  I’ll have more photos for you all from this particular weekend to share with you all.  Lots of food pics and just enjoying good company =). 

  On more happy notes =)  I have been pretty busy with weddings this month and will be completely booked next month as well.  I am working hard and pushing many hours into the midnight hours because I know you and my brides are waiting =)  Anyways, life has been nothing but a blessing.  I feel so privileged to be able to walk this path and I am utmost grateful.  I know in my heart I wouldn’t be where I am if it wasn’t for everyone here, my friends and family who encourage me in this walk of life.  I love my job and everything about it.  Yes, it is long hours but its so worth it.  As a wedding photographer one of the number one reasons why I love my job is not just witnessing and photographing the courtship of a special day between two people but witnessing family, friends and LIFE.  If you know me well, I LOVE PEOPLE and I love being around them.  Weddings couldn’t be a better fit for me.  One of my core values in life revolves around family and friends.  I live for my family and the people I care so much about.  I always love it when I meet awesome families and new faces.  I get to meet people from all walks of life from different places with different stories to tell.  I know The Lord Jesus put me on this path to bless other through the gift He has given me as a photographer.  When I see Jesus, He is the author, creator and artist of our life and I feel like I am part of that art piece and within that art piece I get to create art work.  Life is like art, it changes, isn’t ever constant, is expressive, evokes emotion, breathes life into us through the hand of Our Creator.  Sometime I can’t help to think about the sorts of question I want to ask God when I get to heaven.  I think one of the first questions I would ask Him is…can I see your paint brush collection?  I just like to imagine what God’s art gallery would look like.  I see so much color and a mosaic of life beyond our minds dreams.  I want to dream out loud and you should too =)  This week, make sure you laugh a little more, smile at someone you don’t know, get closer to someone you love dearly, go out of you way by doing something nice for someone or how about just saying HI and look at that person in the eye saying that =)  Have a great week everyone and DREAM OUT LOUD! 

  Blessed,
  Stephen
