To my gorgeous wife, Jennifer the greatest gift I have been given and with whom I will forever be in love and the three greatest gifts she has given me: our two beautiful daughters Raya and Jordyn and my son Hayden. This book is for my family, my inspiration, and the reason I fell in love with photography. And an extra special dedication to Raya who I love more than life itself; her almond-shaped brown eyes and innocence have inspired me to capture beauty as it is.

Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge Chris Hurtt, Bryan Peterson, and Perfect Picture School of Photography for the inspiration of making me into the photographer I am today. These two photographers, whom I look up to, have given me the instruction and motivation I needed to take my passion to the next level. I would also like to thank my mother for all the years of support. A special thanks to my father who has been there for me and my family for the past eight years; without his support, guidance, and love I would not be who I am today.
