If you’ve been following my Facebook page, you know just how close I am with some amazing clients-turned-friends, the McCuen family.

Sgt. Joshua Stoffregen- a U.S. Army Soldier, a father to his 9-year-old son Daymien and a handy-man with cars. I chose Sto to be the first in my Soldier’s Series for many reasons. He’s a great noncommissioned officer, leader and Soldier. He is a broadcaster in my unit and has only been in this career […]

I love my job. Stop laughing, I mean it! Where else would I get paid to hang out the side of a helicopter and take photos of men from several different countries training together. Add a beautiful blue sky, huge white puffy clouds and a gentle breeze and it’s perfect. While my mom may have […]
