I Was Wrong. I Need To Apologize To Anyone I've Offended.

For a while I've wanted to pour out everything in my heart, but it's been bottled up. Out of fear, humiliation, and hurt. What I've encountered in the past few days is one of the hardest moments of my professional life, but I need to address this face-forward.

Have you ever wanted something so badly it made your chest ache with longing? A dull throb of untamed desire for something you wanted, but just couldn't seem to grasp. I had this ache a few times in my life. For a My Little Pony doll. For the LA Gear pump shoes. For the Highlights magazine--complete with its Find 12 Hidden Items in this Picture game--from my dentist's office. The ache that just wouldn't go away.

I hoped these emotions would dissipate the older I got, but I realized that while I may get over not having a pair of cool shoes, aches in my chest would come from other things. Elements in life I dreamed of having, but just couldn't seem to grasp. That is, until I found something I couldn't stop dreaming of until it became a reality: Photography.

I left law school and started my business in 2006 and have since filled the ache in my chest with happiness that percolates from my heart. I fell in love with Love. The joy and fulfillment I receive in documenting the most special moments on a wedding day compares to nothing else. My Little Pony and LA Gear pump shoes included.
