What a sweet family, not to mention dear friends!!
Jayden was such a little trooper during our photo shoot!

for His good pleasure

I just watched the movie
Chariots of Fire again.

I love the line where
Olympic runner Eric Liddell
says in his Scottish brogue,
"I believe God made me
for a purpose...
but He also made me fast.
And when I run, I feel His pleasure."

I feel much the same way
about photography.

I love capturing God's creation,
discovering "windows"
which reflect
His heart and
His beauty.

When I'm exploring the world
with camera in hand,
I feel God's delight
as I worship....

for His good pleasure...

perfect in beauty

The Mighty One, God, the Lord, speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

Psalm 50:1-2

A perfect afternoon for capturing some family photos... the fall colors were captivating!

heidi

This was one of my favorite photo shoots! Heidi is incredibly photogenic and has a bubbly personality to match!

The afternoon was made especially memorable when Heidi's mom rose to the challenge and raced toward the river in a heroic effort to capture the sun shades before they floated downstream! Lori, you're a track star in my book!

sara and jay

My sister and brother-in-law are celebrating their first anniversary today! It's hard to believe that it's already been a year since their wedding!

Sara and Jay's ceremony also uniquely reflected the beauty of their relationship, while honoring the value of their community and celebrating the greatness of God.

Here are a few of my favorite shots from their special day.... Sara truly resembled the meaning of her name: "princess"

megan

Megan is absolutely darling! She's the daughter of one of my friends from work, and we had a great time doing her senior photo shoot.

A few favorites...
