A few weeks before departing for a on-location shoot in Miami.  I learned about a wonderful foundation (Woodstock Foundation) that was putting on a fundraising event just north of Miami.  So I contacted the Event Chairman, Richard Jankus to volunteer my services & time to support this great event.  I truly enjoy giving back & each year I find myself donating my services & time to wonderful causes & organizations such as this one.  The “Fashionista” was held this past Friday at the Players Club in Wellington, Florida.  The event offered supporters a red carpet experience, cocktail party, multi-course dinner & the “Fashionista” fashion show.

We recently had the honor of photographing Allison & Cody’s intimate wedding at the Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston, South Carolina.  One of the most amazing events I’ve ever witnessed  during a ceremony was when Allison’s father performed a powerful solo that brought the family & guests to their knees.  The reception took place at the historical Charles Towne Landing – Founders Hall.

Mt. LeConte has always been my favorite point to hike to for the past thirty (30) years or so.  So when my daughter who was born a natural runner starting taking up hiking with me at the age of four (4).  I knew our short term goal would be for her to top Mt. LeConte [third highest peak in the area at 6,593 ft] without assistance.  The only hard part about getting someone her age to do… keep her from trying to skip her way to the top.  I failed.
