This blog post will be ongoing as I remember things that happened to me this year. I can confidently say that 2008 was an amazing year for me all around. I haven't thanked God enough for all he has done for me this year but I do thank him.
Here's my ongoing list of memories of things that stood out to me this year. If you have any memoires of me this year, post them below.
Happy New Year and may your 2009 be blessed and joyful.

Aaron and Mandy are two awesome friends who are truly in love. I haven't seen Aaron since back when we were campers together at Dry Creek. As soon as you meet Mandy, she's gonna make you smile. I have the pleasure of photographing their entire engagement.
Here is their engagement session with me. Enjoy!
I'd also like to thank Jon Baize for being a great assistant.
I'm booking now for 2009. Contact me for rates and services.
yay!!! i love them. i would like for you to do one in black and white for me for the fronts of the programs. i will have to figure out which one though. but i love these. they look really good.
So, I was going to say hi to you this morning at assembly, but you were gone by the time I was looking for you! Oh well, at least I saw you a few weeks ago.
Btw, the photo of K and C was a big hit - thanks again! :)
hey man cool pics. hope the holiday season has been treating you well. i have a musical recommendation for you: have you ever heard of the avett brothers? if not, you should check out their songs "the weight of lies," "will you return," and "the ballad of love and hate"
Brandon and Jenny are two wonderful friends of mine and I had the pleasure of photographing their entire engagement. I love the Banks family and they've always been so good to me. Brandon was so easy to become friends with and if I ever get to be on the "Who wants to be a Millionaire" show, Brandon would be my sports expert.
Here's their long awaited sneak peek from their wedding.
