I’d like to share my favorite moments of 2018
for me and for my photography.

The photography services I provided for the sessions and events of 2018 were all contributions to my growth as a photographer. This along with some personal life changes and I was able to end 2018 as a full-time photographer. That’s right! No more working 9 - 5 investing in other people’s dreams and ideas, but now I spend my time investing in my own dreams and myself overall.

Being a full-time photographer I’ve found myself at the beach on a weekday morning. So good for the soul. I’ve been at Weston Town Center at 11:30 on a Wednesday to offer my video services to one of my clients. Or even the golf course at Weston Hills Country Club at 2:00. All of this would’ve been impossible if I still had the dead-end job that had me stuck inside of a building that was below 60 degrees, trapped in a cubicle, with tasteless music blasting disruptively to the point I could not focus and a place overall where I was not appreciated for 5 years. Year 2018 gave me the gift of not having to be tied to a desk and micromanaged beyond belief.

I believe life can be compared to a book, each year a new chapter and I finally decided to become the author of mine. I no longer allow others to write my story for me. I no longer allow others to dictate what I’m doing or how I’m doing it. If you are unhappy at your job or with anything in your life, you are the author of your life and you have a choice to follow your dreams. Own it. You can do anything you put your mind to. Don’t just allow life to knock you around, build a plan and execute it.

With my photography, I continue to learn. I notice my own growth after each and every session I complete.

Here are some of my favorite images of 2018. They aren’t in any particular order and some of these photos will not be found in my photography portfolio.

I look forward to the growth that lies ahead of me and I hope you are all there to support me in my journey as I will do the same for you.
