In honor of flag day, here are a few of my favorite photos. As we approach our 250th anniversary of this great country my goal for the year will be to capture 250 patriotic moments. Can’t wait to see what they are!

Another year, another day of remembrance. Was honored to shoot the Jefferson County Law Enforcement Memorial wreath laying ceremony to honor officers we’ve lost. Each name on this wall represents a life dedicated to serving and protecting, a life taken too soon, and a life that now inspires future generations. This year was extra special for me because I unexpectedly got to step in and give the opening prayer. To pray over these officers and families… there’s no photo op that compares. And as we enter into National Police Week, it’s up to all of us to keep them in prayer. Thank you to Jim Henderson as always for organizing this event and keeping it going every year.

Love shooting this stuff. 10 years ago so these K9s would be retired now. But back then? Taking a bite out of crime. Such a privilege to photograph them and earn their trust. (The key is to meet the K9s beforehand and ask their permission. They always say yes as long as I promise to get their good side 😉)

Love shooting the K9s when we train at the Alabama Fire College. Great opportunities for them to stretch their wings (or paws) and I get to capture them in a different environment from the woods, sometimes from a flanker’s perspective and sometimes from the victim’s.
