Her name is Kelsey, she recently turned 7 and at some point last year a few grey hairs appeared above her eyes. In a few short months it moved down her face towards her snout but thats okay I don’t care. She leaves hair every where she goes but thats okay I’ll just clean it up, she’s the most loving animal I have ever known. She doesn’t care about my flaws, insecurities or shortcomings; her love for me is unconditional. We have driven thousands of miles together, climbed mountains, waded through the emotional turbulence of life only to discover brighter days and survived near death experiences. She’s a therapy dog that works with patients in hospitals and the best swimmer you’ve ever seen. She’s my best friend!
Everyday I truly feel blessed to have the opportunity to make a living at something I consider the driving passion of my life; then there are those days that seem to stand out a little more than others. Recently I mentioned that I had the honor to shoot for Southern Weddings Magazine and I’m excited to share that the sophomore issues has hit newsstands. Ladies and gentlemen they have knocked it out of the park and you should run, not walk to pick up a copy. This is the first time in my career that my work has been published in print which makes it even more special for me. Here are the scanned tears from my portion of the Watercolor feature . If for some reason you can’t find this magazine on shelves at your local stores then here is a link to order one online.
I’m just getting back into the studio from shooting a wedding this past weekend in Colorado and this album got loaded on the iPhone before I left to head west. If your a Train fan your going to love it and if you’ve never really followed the band check out a couple of my favorite tracks below.

All I have to say is she is great!!!!
sweet man- dogs rule.
Aw, Jeff, this must be the pup you were talking about yesterday at MTH Minneapolis…she is so sweet. A dog’s love is always unconditional and that’s a truly amazing thing. I’m gonna go cuddle with my dog now. I hope you’ll see Kelsey soon!
awwwwww! I thought I am the most abscessed dog lover! love her!
You can just feel how kind she is from this picture!
She is adorable… and your post about her is equally adorable! Makes me miss my two chocolate labs back in Seattle! Sniff.
I know how you feel… the friendship is heavenly… literally the most euphoric feeling on earth. Unconditional is the word that I use to describe limitless faith… they trust us not knowing what might be ahead both physically and spiritually. They bring us joy, hope, comfort and the ability to love and care. I miss my friend Scout… I had to say goodbye to him a year ago this month. Cherish every moment… you are blessed!
This melts my heart and makes me want to go hug my own best four-legged friend.
