Quin & Kim Leeson in Dallas Texas

Quin & Kim are big heart stealers in Dallas. They are both so precious. Here they are shot with a lensbaby. The lensbaby is a tiny little flexible lens created by Craig Strong. It is a blast to use and is light as a feather!

Destination-WEDDING-Caribbean

I am missing Iraq, Latin America yet love being right where I am. I LOVE shooting weddings and yet I am wondering how to photograph weddings and still go tell the stories of people in less fortunate situations. It's such a perfect balance but I find each area takes all of my time.

At War David Leeson's and Scott Kesterson's movie Afghanistan

Yesterday I was sitting in David Leeson and Kim Leeson's home with tears rolling down my face as I watched the latest edit of David Leeson and Scott Kesterson's film " Atwar" filmed in Afghanistan . The story begins with a man running running, the sound of his breath dominates the scene....
the rest you will have to see for yourself.
The beginning is stunning and as David pulls the rest of the film together I am positive the rest will be just as exhilarating. There are some trailers on utube which I will link here oh or just go here.
