Birthdays are always special, but this year, my stepdaughter, Morgan, went above and beyond to give me a gift that’s truly one of a kind. She surprised me with a custom-made Funko Pop—and when I say custom, I mean it’s me in miniature form. The attention to detail is incredible. The Pop has a bag of popcorn in one hand (my all-time favorite snack) and a camera in the other (my favorite hobby). To top it off, it’s decked out […]
Last week, Chase and I shared a night full of laughs at the Impractical Jokers live show. Watching Sal, Q, and Murr bring their off-the-wall humor to the stage was an experience unlike any other. Their jokes landed perfectly, and hearing them share behind-the-scenes stories about the TV show gave us a deeper appreciation for how much fun (and chaos!) goes into creating each episode.

Had some time to shoot Morgan at Thatcher Park. This girl is so much fun to shoot and her photos always come out great, I love it.

Had a great time with Britney and Riley during a couples shoot amidst the backdrop Renssleaville Falls. The brisk weather somewhat expedited our original timeline, but it didn’t matter. I don’t think anything could have kept them from smiling.
