Happy Thanksgiving Y'all

So I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and it's not just for the food. However, you can't beat deep fried turkey, twice baked potatoes, sweet potato casserole (it's really a dessert), an artichoke casserole and of course a southern tradition pecan pie. But what I like most is that it's a time to thank God for all that he has given to us. We are truly blessed with an abundance of riches and the greatest gift is my family and the tradition of Thanksgiving bring us together.

We have another tradition on Thanksgiving and that is to take a family picture. Easy right? Cuz I'm a professional photographer and all but problem is that I'm supposed to be in the picture instead of behind the camera. So we try and try and try... and the grand kids get restless and the adults get irritated cuz the kids get restless. But we do it anyway cuz it's a tradition...

Here are a few of the pics from our family tradition...

So much to be thankful for....

As I contemplate the busy holiday weekend, I can't help but think how blessed I am. We live in a country where we live freely to go, do, live, think, say, be, what ever and where ever we want. I don't know if many other countries have as many freedoms as we do here. And in reflecting on that, my hope is that because of all the freedoms God has given to me, that I am able to give to others and glorify God while I do it...

Here are a few photos of what I'm most thankful for....

My Brother is in Trouble

Back at the end of July Mary and I were in Las Vegas for Chris Webber's fund raising event Bada Bling which my wife, Mary and her business partner, Wendy of Nouvelle Roux designed and produced. I was there shooting for the event and I was exhausted afterward. So much so, that I went on a little trip to the Grand Canyon with my brother, Tim and his two girls, Emma and Katie.

We stayed in Williams, AZ. and drove north to visit the GC but while we were in Williams, the girls wanted me to do a photo shoot with them (my brother did too). So we went into old town Williams as the sun was setting and had some fun. And with very little direction, these girls knew what to do.... My brother is in big trouble.... Check 'em out!
