Megan!

Megan and I took a hike at a nearby park a couple of weeks ago and got some pretty snazzy senior pics along the way :)

Melisa!

Here are a few of Melisa's senior pictures!

Alexandra and Christian {January 22, 2011}

A long, long...long time ago I met Alexandra. Our families literally grew up together! A couple of weeks ago Alexandra got married to Christian! I was given the opportunity to be the second shooter, along side my brother in law, Jacob, for their wedding. It was quite a new experience for me! The wedding was STUNNING. Not only the people, but the very sacredness of the entire ceremony. They even had a worship time! How cool. It evidently conveyed Gods intent for marriage quite clearly. I was so glad I got to be a part of it. Here are a few of my shots from the day! :)
(The official wedding photos will be put up on a different site. I'll post the link when it's done!)

LGP internship!!

My life of photography just got 25 times more exciting :) A couple of months ago I heard that a photography company in Toledo was going to be hiring an intern. It has always been one of my goals to intern with a really good photographer--so I applied! I got an email a couple of weeks later saying that they wanted to sit down and chat with me about the possibility of me being their intern. (Needless to say, I was ecstatic about it!) So, this past Sunday I drove down to Starbucks in Toledo and chatted with Joshua and Gregg, the owners of Love is Greater Photography, about everything from the internship to some fun photography stories. I could tell right away that they were two really fun and VERY talented guys. I left Starbucks saying "I want to be their intern SOO badly!" I got a call two days later from Josh asking if I would like to be their intern. I about passed out! I felt so honored that they chose me! I am officially the Love is Greater Photography 2011 intern! This is definitely an answer to prayer for me and I am very thankful for this unique opportunity to learn. I will keep you posted on my life as an intern :)

Christmas time is here...

It's hard to believe that in just one short week it will be Christmas Eve. Oh how time flies! Christmas time is my favorite. It takes my breath away to think of why we celebrate it; Jesus. "I can't help but wonder why, why this king would choose to be, be a baby born for me, be a baby born to die". It's impossible for our minds to fathom this great mystery. It's such a strange way to save the world. Just take a minute to think about it.



I know some people aren't fond of snow, but it happens to be one of my favorite things! In my mind, it reminds be of how Jesus came and washed us clean. It makes the ugliest things beautiful. Plus, it's fun to have snowball fights. My wonderful friend Melisa and I took a little escapade while it was snowing the other day. Here are a couple of pictures from our adventure!

Kelly Lynn

I took these pictures of Kelly a couple of months ago, but forgot to put them up! They were just some more of her senior pictures. And needless to say, she is beautiful!

Emmy

A few days ago I took Emmy's senior photo's at a beautiful park north of town. It was full of all sorts of bridges and we got some great shots :-) Emmy was a lot of fun to take pictures of. She looked so stunning in every single shot! It was hard to get a bad picture of her. Her wonderful personality shines through the pictures. Here are a few of them!
