Here's Fansidea's Q&A with Steve and Laura:

Fansidea: How did you meet each other? What was your first impression of each other?

Steve: Haha, we met through our friend Tom(Myspace). I thought she was beautiful and wanted to get to know her. Crazy thing is we were in the same school. She was a cheerleader and I was a football player and we’ve never seen each other. What I thought about my wife Laura when i first met her was ‘this girl is beautiful, smart and such a caring person’.

Laura: When I first saw him I was very nervous due to finally meeting in person after talking for a while. He was way taller than I expected but that's what I loved the most because he makes me feel the safest when in his arms. I remember being so nervous since he was also soon to be my first boyfriend and my first kiss.

Fansidea: Could you share some fun moments celebrating Valentine's Day?

Steve: One of our fun and memorable Valentines was having a whole day planned for my Laura. I had purchased her Valentine’s gift the day of since I was in a different city since I was a truck driver. Got home had her get ready, called an Uber, took her to fogo de chao and gifted her one of the purses she wanted. And ended the night at the theaters. Another memorable Valentines was taking her to lunch, shopping and than taking her to the pier and proposing.

Fansidea: How long have you been doing photography? Why did you choose this career?

Steve: I been doing photography for 5 years. First 2 years was on and off, and been doing photography professionally for 3 years now. I chose this career because I love turning a simple photo to something amazing. Making insecure people see the beauty of themselves. Also blessing families that have a disability or cancer with a free family photo. I lost my grandma due to cancer and wish I had more photos with her. Some people can't afford a photographer and that's what holds them back from getting professional photos, so I bless familes with these photos so they can have a memory of their love one. And now I can teach my kids photography.

Fansidea: What was it like raising three boys?

Steve&Laura: We started off young, and we were 20 years old at that time. So it was challenging, especially working 2 minimum paying jobs. When our 2nd son was born it was challenging because he had a lot of complications and doctors didn't expect him to make it to birth. Within the first 2 years he had to get 6 surgeries and was always in the hospital. But thank God we are passed that and he's been doing amazing now. Raising 3 boys overall has been so much fun, especially sport activities. These boys definitely keep us on our toes but also very blessed that they help us out a lot.

Fansidea: How does it feel to have the first daughter?

Steve&Laura: Oh man having our first daughter is absolutely amazing. We agreed this will be our last child no matter if the baby is a boy or girl. But thankfully she came out a girl and has 3 older brothers to watch over her. We are now complete with our princess.

Fansidea: What do you think of Fansidea's custom jerseys?

Steve: From the jackets to jerseys, we absolutely love the quality and the customization to the gear. To be able to represent yourself through a jersey is just an amazing feeling. I always been a jersey guy since I was a kid. So to have my photography name on my jersey and my slogan. It's an awesome feeling especially getting compliments on my jersey.
