My godson, Jonah, is a funny character. He’s so…calm…most of the time. He rarely says a word, unless he sees something that compels him to speak. He doesn’t need constant supervision because he isn’t one to run off. BUT, when placed in the right circumstances, he’ll talk or sing your ear off, and he’ll run around the living room like he just finished a trash bag’s worth of cotton candy. He is the perfect combo of his parents.

Jeff is taciturn, only interjecting to make funny comments or sound off his jolly laugh. Christine is as outgoing as they go. As a third grade teacher – she has to be. Jonah is literally half mom, half dad, and it’s so much fun to see his personality grow as he does.

I would go nuts at the office without her. My best work bud, Jovi, is getting married in a few months and I was beyond honored she asked me to shoot her wedding. She and Eddie started dating around the time that we met, so I feel like I’ve been there to see every step of their relationship.

These two, I swear. You know those kids whose parents are constantly trying to catch their attention? I was the parent, and Eddie and Jovi were the kids. “Hello! Over here, you guys!…Helloooooo?!” I always find it so much fun shooting people I know, because there’s no rapport to build. It was like the three of us just decided to meet at the Music Center and hang out.

Joves and Edward – ya’ did great! Can’t wait to party in September!
