Who knows what the future holds for this adventure? Not me. If you had of told me when it started that this thing called Fyrefly would be where it is in such a short time I would have quickly told you that you were on an illegal substance. Sometimes when you dream you think “but that’s just a dream, it could never happen”. What a dumb thing to think…if you are dreaming with no belief that it might be possible, then what’s the point? Self-torture?
I am learning to dream and then sit down and figure out what it would take to make my dreams a reality. There is so much more in store for this adventure…for now let’s call my mood “pleased, not satisfied”. I am still chasing my dreams because I’m afraid if I stop something else will catch me from behind.
In honor of my nostalgic mood I went through and picked my favorite photo from every one of my shoots over the last 6 months, 22 in all. I exported these in small files so they wouldn’t take long to upload. So if you watch them on full screen they will be insanely pixelated. I thought about telling you why each one is a favorite but that would have made this post longer than any human would ever read, even my mom:)

BEFORE
If you are here for the first time then you don’t notice any difference (obviously). But if you have ever been to our blog before you will notice that we changed the look completely! The basic structure is the same and everything functions in pretty much the same way…everything is just cleaned up and a little more sophisticated:)
Enjoy the new design…

As I sit here drinking my iced coffee drink and waiting for a client I am counting the hours a week that I spend in coffee shops like this one. It’s a lot. It got me thinking, “I should do a quick run down of all the coffee houses I’ve found in the city that I love to hang out and meet clients in. So that’s what I am doing…
These are not in any kind of order…I have some favorites but for the most part they are all pretty equal.
- Bean Haus – Covington, KY – The amtosphere and location couldn’t be any better. It’s right on Main St. in Mainstrasse and the coffee is fantastic!
- Rohs St. Cafe – Clifton – It’s a coffee shop for college students (not old people like me) so the parking is almost no existent. Most of their business comes from walk-ins so they really don’t need parking. The decor and atmosphere is right on and the coffee is made with a little extra love!
- Heaven’s Roast – Loveland, OH – It’s definitely a little more suburban and smaller but hip nonetheless. I totally expected a S_____bucks knockoff when I went there for the first time but it won me over with good coffee, music and free WIFI.
- Speckled Bird Cafe – Norwood – This place is artsy, eclectic and independent. I love the vibe in there. If only they had longer hours.
- Coffee Emporium – Downtown/OTR – There are other locations but the downtown version is the best. It’s a half floor down from the street which offers a pretty cool vibe. I love what they’ve done to renovate it and make it more customer friendly. Great place!
- Red Tree Gallery - Oakley – I’m partial to this one because it’s in my neighborhood. It’s an art gallery and a coffee shop so there is always a new exhibit to get lost in. They serve some great food, great coffee and there are plenty of place to hang out and check email or talk. I always leave wanting to go back.
There are plenty of others, but these are my most frequented. What have I missed? I am trying to come up with a list of places to meet clients in every part of the city. My criteria is 1. Artsy 2. Independent 3. Great Atmosphere and of course 4. Free WIFI.
Feel free to suggest any places you know of.

I just had a meeting with Fahema regarding her wedding in January. She is a brilliant and fun girl and I really hope I get the chance to do her wedding. What an amazing opportunity to get to know some really cool people.
Thanks for the time Fahema and good luck with your wedding planning:)

I’ve been editing for about 2 weeks straight on the 2 weddings and 1 family session I had recently. It’s great to finally be done with all of them! The last batch of photos went out to Cayla and Landon today. I hope everyone loves their shots as much as I do!
Here’s what I am listening to this week:

This week we are working vigorously on editing the shots from the Carmen/Michael and Cayla/Landon weddings. We started with 5000+ shots from the two weddings and will end up with around 1000 from each to show them. I can’t wait to show them how beautiful their weddings turned out in pictures.
Also, this week’s playlist is more upbeat and pop-y. Enjoy:
Last but not least I want to bring some attention to a new site that I just joined. Its called BridalTweet. Its a pretty cool site where brides can go to find ideas, deals on wedding goodies and also find different vendors for their weddings. The cool thing about it is that vendors offers some kind of deal for booking through BridalTweet. Vendors get more exposure, brides get free or discounted stuff and everyone WINS!!!! I love sites like that. Check out our profile here. Or just check out the overall site here. As a wedding photographer this is exactly the kind of partnerships we want to build.
As always, have a fantastic day and week! I hope you are chasing your dreams instead of letting the mundane chase you!

I wanted to introduce everyone to my family. They are such a massive part of this journey that I’m on, I figured you should know them too. My wife Edie is amazing and lovely…right now she is working full time to support our family while we try to get this thing off the ground. There is no end to how much she means to me. Ryan is our 2 year old. He keeps us laughing. He is currently learning to climb on every piece of furniture in the house which makes for some crazy stories. Lily is our newest addition at 2 months old. She is beautiful in every way. She is beginning to make some noises and smile but mostly she just sleeps, eats and fills her diaper. I can’t wait to see who she becomes.
Here is a picture I got one evening while we were trying to Ryan to be cute with his sister. It looks so sweet, but the truth is that I took about 100 pictures that day and this is about the only one where he is standing anywhere close:)
These two and Edie are my inspiration and drive! Thanks for all you do for me guys.
