Toby Mac recently released a new single titled, Everything. It’s like he read my mind when he wrote this song. Ok I’m sure he doesn’t even know who I am and probably doesn’t have mind reading powers. But his song and the vision executed in his video is exactly how I would describe seeing life […]

Let me ask you something? Why do we take the time and spend the money to have our photographs taken? Seriously. Stop. Think. Now what is your why? I enjoy taking photos for many reasons.
