Jennifer

Last week I FINALLY got to shoot the beautiful Jennifer. We have tried to get together for almost a year now. Jennifer was great! Although it was cold and foggy at first we pushed through it and in the end the sun came out to play with us! Check her out, I think you will agree she is a beautiful young lady, and trust me that goes for the inside and out!

Lainey

I adore photographing seniors and Lainey was no exception. We kicked around downtown Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to find some interesting spots. My favorite place was just a junk heap with tall grass and an old jalopy car.

Love in a Waffle House

While wasting time one morning last summer, I found myself sitting in a Waffle House having coffee. An unexpected and unusual trip landed me in a booth with a birds-eye view of the whole joint. I felt comfortable in the retro vibe and lured in by the odd aroma of bacon cooking and the lingering smell of cleaning agents. There was such a somber mood shared by the staff and patrons alike. We were all in one small place and yet completely alone in our own little worlds.

In such a ho hum environment where people go about their morning routine, I began to dream of how a chance encounter of two young lovers could breathe life into an otherwise lifeless restaurant and warm it from within.

Call me a hopeless romantic, but I believe love can happen in the strangest of places. Could this have really happened here in the past? Regardless, it was taking place in my mind and I knew I had to give “their” story life through a photographic essay form- my favorite! Adding in the skillful eye of a videographer created the avenue to share this story with others.

A special thanks to the perfect couple, Phil and Somer who shamelessly showed their love to the world. To my friend Sean for helping produce my vision and taking it on as if it were his own. And yes, the Waffle House for allowing us to use their restaurant as our stage.
