When it was decided to have an after party at the studio following David Jay’s Free to succeed Tour
Friend & fellow photographer Mike Richards went right to work on organizing the party.
So immediately after the seminar and a quick tour of the freedom bus, Allie and Dj hopped into the fj and away we went to the after party.

It was great to meet Allie ( Dj’s girl friend). Allie, it was so nice chatting with you. You have an innate ability to inspire. Thanks for your kind words.

David Jay’s seminar was enlightening to say the least. Success can be thought of in many ways.
For me, Free to succeed means: More quality time with my son
and daughter, more time to enjoy my beautiful wife Julie, more time as a family and less time behind the Apple.
Sometimes we see people succeed in business as we watch them fail in relationships. It’s a fine line to walk.
Dj’s outlook along with his products are Perfect for those who are trying to achieve success in LIFE and not just business.
Thanks for doing what you do dude! I look forward to chatting about going global. Blessings for a safe road trip, Kevin

What a GREAT bunch of photographers!
Guy’s It was so cool hanging with all of you at the seminar, the after party and the next day at the shoot. Keep in touch! Blessings, Kevin

Wedding of Christian & Natalie soooo great to work with:)
“Beautiful exposures all day long” I love it, k2 on the Go!

Still trying to catch up on some much needed blogging.
My total travel time was 10 hrs, but worth every mile. Narriman & Hassane were so sweet to work with.






Love, Love that lighting!!

It’s been a crazy few months and it was about to get a little crazier.
My son Caleb has been forever been asking to join me on a mission trip. For years I’ve been telling him he had to be 13yrs old.
He’s now 13 and he didn’t forget. So several months ago I arranged to take him on a high school mission trip to Immokalee.
I was one of the youth leaders so I thought Caleb and I would get some great father & son bonding time. Wow, I thought ‘my son and I doing God’s work serving others for greater interests than ourselves’ I can’t wait!
So for months I have been imagining how it’s going to be while working and sharing the many emotions of being in the midst of poverty. And sadly, seeing and hearing first hand how families and young children do without the basics in life.
I’ll be there for him I thought. Over and over in my mind I would think of how I would answer those difficult questions he might ask….

120 high school kids including Caleb and I arrived in Immakalee and set up camp as we prepared for a rough week of work.
I neatly arranged our sleeping quarters next to each other. There I said, we are all set and went about to help some other kids get settled. When I came back to our sleeping quarters I found that Caleb had moved all his stuff including his air mattress out of sight from me over with bunch of other kids! Wow!
For the remainder of the trip Caleb said about five words to me and acted as if he didn’t know me.

I forgot to mention that in the middle of this mission trip I had to leave to go back to Orlando to shoot a wedding at the Ritz Carlton. This was the first time Caleb had been on his own. That night just after midnight Caleb called me, I guess the blackness in the middle of the everglades got to him. I asked, are you OK? He said yes. I asked if he was scared, and he said he didn’t want to talk, he just wanted to hear my voice until he fell asleep:( So I did just that.
The next day when I finally arrived back to Immokalee I expected a big hug from him. But it was still as if he didn’t know me.
I thought this mission trip was going to be a great learning experience for Caleb. As it turns out, it was dad that learned just how painful it is to let go.

I thought I would show a few pics from some of my favorite engagement locations. The first is Marlo & Barry. I cant wait until their wedding, they are one of the nicest couples I’ve ever met.
The next bunch is my nephew JC (God son) and Stephanie. Their wedding will be good times for sure, and I get to party as well!.
