Dave is the real deal. What you see is what you get and even more. Yeah, you could say that he's an established commercial photographer. I mean, shooting people such as Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Jack White, Nicole Kidman and Nikki Taylor just might put him that category. He's experienced. He knows what he's doing and he brings this fabulousness into all that he photographs.
Ok, so do you want to know the real dirt on Dave?
He is obsessed with working out and eating Clif Builder's Bars every few hours. When I drag him to Starbucks his drink of choice is a black unsweetened iced tea. And to a go a bit further....he doesn't like wearing socks in the winter. He's a beach bum at heart and plans to retire near the surf and the sand one day. Oh yes, and his jerky driving makes me car sick, every time!
The good stuff::
What I love most about Dave is his heart. He is passionate about helping other photographers grow in their skills. He is a mentor and friend to many and loves to have a good time. He knows what it means to work hard and his attention to detail is out of control. His taste in music is radical and he is probably the coolest dad on the planet. His faith and family comes first and foremost, which makes Dave who he is. He's the bees knees. Cant wait for you to meet him!

It's really hard to describe Kelli using the written word. She is someone who must be experienced first hand. Her enthusiasm for life and people is infectious.
She's a Californian who moved to Music City to be a singer (and boy can she sing- she was on Star Search when she was 13) but pursued her other passion - photography and has made a well respected name for herself doing it.
She's married to Reed, the only person I've ever met who dreams bigger than her. They are madly in love.
Kelli is obsessed with the details...the moments in between that most people miss. Don't tell anyone, but Kelli secretly cries when the dads see their daughters for the first time at any wedding. Maybe its because she's a daddy's girl, but that moment seems to get her every time.
She has a fear of lakes, she doesn't like the "dark water", is obsessed with Starbucks and their Non Fat Chai, loves boots (the footwear, not the monkey.)
Kelli loves to laugh...loudly! Yes, you will hear that laugh often.
Oh and when she's shooting you and you do something "fabulous" she might say "Stop it!" Just know she really means "Keep going, I love it!"
