My first photo of 2012. My wife, Maria.

In nearly a decade of marriage, I had never met my brother-in-law nor his daughters, my nieces. Over the Christmas holiday, I finally got to meet them all. Now, I might not have gotten to have spent as much time getting to know them all as I did were it not for the fact that my brother-in-law became jealous of my other brother-in-law’s Christmas photos from last year which I shot. A conversation ensued, a call was made, I cleared my morning, and we had a regular family reunion with my wife, her two brothers, and their families. For them, it was all about catching up. For me, it was all about recording some new memories of being together for them.

These are my nieces, Kayla on the left, and Reagan on the right.

My sister-in-law, Mrs. Miranda “Mandy” Evarts, wife to my wife’s brother Ryan and mother to three boys - David, Ryan Jr., and Benjamin.

Self Portrait (December 2011)

She’s my neighbor.
Her name is Lacey. She’s married and they have a 4-year old.
Their life isn’t perfect, but they’re pressing through.
It was nice to get to photograph her and let her feel special for a little while.
I can’t wait to show her this photo.
