Fight! Fight! Fight!

Having been a martial artist for 30 years now, it was such a pleasure to combine my love of combat sports with my love of photography. Boxing combines drama with athleticism like no other sport.

Colorado Vacation

Recently my family and I took a trip to Breckenridge, Colorado to hike through the mountains and visit the land from which my grandmother came.

Jesuit Priests Ordained

For many years now I’ve worked with the Jesuits in South Louisiana - creating fundraising videos, shooting portraits & documenting events. One of the most interesting annual events is the ordination ceremony at Holy Name of Jesus Church on St. Charles (my parents got married there!) where seminarians take the final step to becoming priests. These are just a few photos from this year’s ordination and reception.

Firefighters in City Park

Firefighters are awesome. I’ve never heard a complaint made against a fire department the way we hear complaints against police departments. They show up, put their lives at risk, save others and are woefully underpaid for it.
