twins!

2010-01-07T20:24:00.007-05:00

one of my moms lovely cousins had twins afew months ago. i got to meet them at christmas! of course, i had to photograph them. it was such a treat. they look like baby dolls!
enjoy.

oh hey brother, can i eat you?

i love this. champion brother. haha.

this is start before she started bawling because he continued with that handful of hair.

big sister!

sneak peak : caroline + jimmy

2009-12-10T15:47:00.004-05:00

i returned from chicago afew days ago where i photographed my beautiful friend's caroline and jimmy's wedding. it was a wonderful time. i'm in the midst of finishing another wedding that i must finish first, but i couldn't help but peak at what we got and wanted to post afew of the favorites.... more to come of course... enjoy.

we like strangers. (this one will make more sense when you see the rest... just a tease)

yes, i like to go to shows alone

2009-12-10T14:34:00.012-05:00

it is not a secret that i like to drive. i have been known to to drive long distances in short periods for strange things. often by myself. that is something else is isn't much of a secret, that i tend to be a loner. it's probably given then, that i willing to drive for quality music when its within my means. which is why is funny that out of all the venues i've been to, one of my favorite ones happens to be minutes from where i live.
shows at southgate house have been a key part of my living in northern kentucky.
it is such a wonderful thing to be able to get away from whatever productive thing i think i should be doing instead to just relax and enjoy some quality live music every once in awhile.
i get into my own world at shows. i love southgate because there is a variety of ways you can view the shows in the ballroom. sometimes i'm in the mood to sit in the balcony and write or something while enjoying the show, and others i feel like standing right in front of the stage on the floor. i love it.
photographing live music has been on the higher end of my love to photograph list for a long time. it has become a part of me in how i enjoy a show. there are times i am not in the mood so i will go camera free, but it is rare.
afew weeks ago i went to go see the wonderful bishop allen. i didn't know anything about the openers but i usually appreciate them as i haven't been as great about keeping up with contemporary music as i used to be so its always nice to hear new music this way. the first act was this wonderful cincinnati band called you, you're awesome. i would highly recommend checking them out. the next was darwin deez, they are from new york. all three of these bands put on a particularly quality live show. i am incredible sensitive to stage presence, so i appreciated this most definitely.

you, you're awesome is mostly instrumental, just two band members and a projector. they played some older movies as well as some it seems they made themselves. so enjoyable. seriously. check them out if you get a chance.

darwin deez was so great. all decked out in clothes from the past few decades. they opened their set dancing to a clip of peanut butter jelly time. the music was good. between every couple of songs they would put down their instruments and would perform some ridiculous dance act. soooo great.

bishop allen has a straight up awesome stage presence. lots of energy and happiness! the female that is in the band has such a genuine smile, as if she couldn't have been happier to be playing the xylophone.

lovely sisters

hello!

what a sad, sad blogger am i.

i'm sorry, to anyone that was eagerly awaiting see new photographs ;-)

though i've neglected blogging (not necessarily on purpose,) i have been doing plenty of photographing. so i'm going to try to catch up.

starting... now.

i babysat these young ladies when they were very little. they are beautiful, inside and out, they always have been. i almost can't believe how much they've grown up. i'm so glad to still have them in my life.

please enjoy!

Phillip = Graduating

2009-05-20T03:11:00.000-04:00

I've known Phillip since he was very little. Our families have known each other for a long time. It was so fun to take his senior pictures because i've known him most of his life so i've seen him grow up. Of course the fact that we took his drum set outside for his senior pictures had nothing to do with it being fun ;-) Have i mentioned that i love my job and my clients? (and the fact that alot of them are friends.)

thats the dayton skyline.

I always encourge my seniors to bring a friend or family member along for their shoot to make it more comfortable for them, i can get more natural smiles and expressions. Since my brother and Phillip are buds i did part of their shoot together so here's the piano's again. Phillip is also a musician, as you probably figured out already.

night

2009-05-20T02:59:00.000-04:00

Some of my cousins and siblings were awesome and let me drag them out into the cold when we were all at my grandma's in march. We had alot of fun. I love night photography because i love experimenting, and it always is. Only problem is experimentation shouldn't be rushed, and when you're finger tips are freezing and you know your subjects are cold, its hard not to be. I didn't get as much as i could have if we were working on a summer night instead of a crazy march in ohio night, but i got a few shots i'm pleased with, and we had a ton of fun. I'm looking forward to shooting more at night with the weather getting nice.

cold. yes.

the end.

hey hey lil' brother

2009-05-20T02:48:00.000-04:00

Well, its that time of year, and my little brother is one of them. He's graduating from high school. We went to a music stores storage floor. He's a musician so this location was perfect for him, he did a great job of picking it. We had fun, it seems like i always say that, but hey i love my job, it IS fun. and working with my any and all of my family is always awesome. I'm proud of him and excited to see what he's up to next.

favorite.

Jody & Dan = Engaged

2009-05-20T01:56:00.000-04:00

well hello!

i'm alive. its true.
even though i haven't blogged since january. oops.
i'm just gonna start from where i left off.
actually, these photos are from the same weekend as the photos from my last post.

I was in PA that weekend in january visiting some really good friends. I also have a really good friend from New Jersey which isn't far from where i was,
with me only being afew hours away, she and her fiance drove out to hang out with me for an evening. They are getting married in September, i'm super stoked to shoot their wedding (i have been even before they got engaged ;-) We had talked about possibly shooting some engagement photos for their save the date card that night, but apparently it wasn't enough of a priority to brave the bitter cold, so we let it go. On the way to dropping me off after dinner i saw a borders, knowing they both like books, i said "hey, turn around, i have an idea for your engagement photos!" Obviously i'm biased but these guys are so fun. We went around the store finding books that we thought would suite them well. They had some awesome faces. Irony might have been involved...
They always have awesome faces, but their facial expressions that went with this specifically.

Enjoy.

sam i am

2009-01-27T22:36:00.000-05:00

i was in Pennsylvania last weekend hanging out with some good friends of mine.
little samuel is having his first birthday pretty soon and his mom wanted to get some photographs of him wearing his Dr. Seuss hat awhile i was around, he's having a sam i am birthday party. it was funny because he didn't want to have anything to do with the hat, but i got acouple cute ones of him interacting with it (we'd put it on him and than he'd throw it.) these are acouple of my favorites. he was totally hamming it up. he's definitely one fun little dude.
enjoy.

i loved his little lazy chillin' out slouch.
and if you didn't know, feet are my favorite.

this is my favorite one.

the end.

a glimpse

2009-01-10T22:46:00.000-05:00

i've been working on processing the photographs from the wedding i shot last weekend. i haven't finished but i love these this sequence so much so i couldn't resist sharing them. after the ceremony i took Jeremy and Jenny outside to take some photographs of them as husband and wife, at some point, Jenny's father was walking down the sidewalk towards us so i ran out into the street and took these. they were chatting for awhile about the ceremony (it was sooo beautiful. i can't wait to post more photos and write about it.) they make me so happy.

jenny looks so pretty.

Sarah & Josh = Married

2009-01-10T20:20:00.000-05:00

Sarah and Josh got married at Benham's Grove in Centerville in October. The weather was so lovely, though it was quite cold. I was wearing my jacket the whole time, but gorgeous Sarah was wearing this pretty dress and i didn't hear her complain once the whole time. She is amazing. We had alot of fun. If you didn't get to enjoy their engagement pictures, you can check them out here.

ladie's waiting

ringbearer. is it okay that this was one of my favorite moments of the ceremony?

the groom seeing his bride for the first time that day is always priceless.

parents.

married!

waving at the ducks.

i loved this frog prince cake!

hey i know that picture!!

see ya later.

merry Christmas!

2008-12-25T23:33:00.000-05:00

this was my nephew's first Christmas,

and my brother's first Christmas as a Daddy.

hope that everyone had as blessed a day as i did.

2008-12-17T00:33:00.000-05:00

the emmons family have a special place in my heart. i don't see them much, definitely not enough. this was actually the first time i actually got to hang out with the children, i did some ministry work with dan and celia more before they were married. it had been that long. which saddens me because boy, was i missing out! these two little ones are so delightful, which makes perfect sense because of who their parents are. such gems, all four of them.
i had a really hard time picking out what to blog. there is so much to capture when working one on one with kids when they are in their own atmosphere, comfortable, which is what i love to do.

glitter glue with mommy

he was so concentrated!

i love wooden blocks.

i just loved this little birdie mouth poking up over the table waiting for daddy to feed her

have you procrastinated on your Christmas pictures and/or Christmas cards this year? there is still time if you book a session with me this week!
i have added handmade photo notecards to my list of what i offer in the world of post photographing - your photos in tangible form!

a unique way to send a christmas greeting, or any for that matter. i will be offering these from now on...

if you would like to do something for christmas, contact me right away and we can set up a session this week. as i am on break so my schedule is not nearly so heavy. that being said, christmas or not, if you were thinking about setting up a session with me, now (& the next few weeks) is a good time to do it. i am always booking, but during my break i am much more likely to be able to meet you at the location of your choice at the time of your choice. invest in some quality photography of you and your family. emmawphoto@gmail.com.

last weekend i spent many hours one night making some fine art photo note cards for a student sale at school.

i thoroughly enjoyed myself. this is something that has been on my to-do list for years. i finally did it and have some of the ones i didn't sell at school at acouple locals shops in over the rhine. as soon as time allows i will get some going on etsy as well as some other handmade things my mind has conjured up. but for now, some photos of my late night card making extravaganza...
the colors... (this was after cutting them from large sheets)

the photographs...

the stack of the ones ready to go after i matched the photograph with its appropriate card color...

finished products... (yes i went abit camera happy, but that's my job right? and who could resist such piles of texture and color!)

and the handmade brown paper envelopes...

also, if you are interested in ordering fine art photo note cards like you see in these pictures, definitely shoot me an email, like i said i'd like to get them on etsy but i don't know how soon it will happen, but certainly can produce some before i do that. and i have some christmas ones leftover from the sale if you are in need of some last minute christmas cards to send out and want something unique...

Simendinger children

2008-11-22T08:48:00.000-05:00

loved hanging out with these guys. we were short on light because it was the day of the time change and when i was scheduling their session i didn't remember that sunset was going to be an hour earlier. but the kids were really cooperative and fun. it worked out great.

i think they were playing blob tag...

sunday

2008-11-22T05:57:00.000-05:00

me and a friend from school went to this abandoned building to shoot some b&w 4x5 film last month. mine didn't turn out that terrific, but i like most of them in color so much better anyways (these are digital.) afew of these rooms were pitch black except those little bursts of light, and what turned up after several minutes of exposure on a tripod was a big surprise and simply phenominal. i could have spent all day there. so much fun. bummed i didn't do a very good job with my film. i need to play with film and long exposures more, i've really only experimented with long exposures in the digital realm.

we checked out the roof...

and this is how we got up there...

my erin

2008-11-22T05:42:00.000-05:00

this is erin.
erin is strong. erin is beautiful. erin is amazing.
i can say all this because i know erin quite well. she is like a little sister to me.
we spent a summer serving together on tour with Stand True ministries in 2007, the pro-life ministry i've mentioned several times before. i also visited her several times this summer.
erin is graduating from high school this year, she insisted that i was the one to be taking her senior pictures. though i'm always up and excited to travel for jobs, being in school full time makes it alittle harder than it used to be to fit in my schedule, but we made it happen! last friday i drove up to pittsburgh, erin her friend and i packed ourselves up, along with her outfits, and her couch! and headed to the park...
of course we had a really good time.
erin is just so pretty!

so cozy.

the end.

the Folcks

2008-11-22T05:41:00.000-05:00

The Folck children are so adorable. beyond adorable. Their whole family is beautiful and i loved having them hang out in front of my camera for awhile the other day.

oh brothers.

the end.

nashville daily

2008-11-22T05:32:00.000-05:00

my nephew being the lovable little dude he is, and me not being the only one that thinks highly of him; his grandma, aunt, uncles and great grandma drove down to see him for a saturday recently, and what do you know, cincinnati is on the way to nashville from dayton, so i pretended like i didn't have any homework to do and went with them! here are just afew of the photos from the day... just afew....

peas.

grandma and grandbaby

fun with uncle dilly.

more fun with uncle dilly...

he was waving to his great grandma....

Anathallo

2008-11-22T04:33:00.000-05:00

there is a really neat venue pretty close to my new house. i don't have much time to go to shows, being a full time art student (oh the pain, i know :-) keeps me pretty busy, but i did make it to this show the other day and it was SO refreshing...

the Blair's 1st anniversary

2008-11-22T03:02:00.000-05:00

I had the pleasure of spending some time with the Blair's on their first anniversary recently. We hung out at the Cincinnati Zoo for a bit in the afternoon, and later on the in evening we went out to Eden Park to take some fun photographs before they went out for dinner. I shot their wedding last year, so it's really neat for me and my camera to get to hang out with them again. I've known Kristin most of my life, i so much enjoy getting to capture her Joy that i know so well. Enjoy!

apparently Charlie really likes pictures of him and his wife walking from behind. Kristin was turned telling me this fact as they were walking down this path i asked them to walk down, so Charlie pulled her back up the path towards me so they could walk down it again with her looking forward instead of turned talking to me :-)

the overlook over the river and kentucky (where i live!)

we went down to the over the rhine (where i go to school) for abit also, it was final friday, so the art galleries were open and people were out and about. we didn't stay down there long but i really like this shot.

the end.

the Kempers

2008-11-22T03:00:00.000-05:00

i don't think i have the words to explain what this family of 8 means to me. yes 8. baby is coming 2009!
i lived with them in Virginia when i was there working full time with Stand True ministries afew years ago. Bryan is the founder and director of Stand True. They moved headquarters to Ohio not too long after i moved back, so i still get to see them, not as much as i'd like, but its better than states away. i love all of these guys. i have all kinds of pictures of them from living with them, traveling with them, and just hanging out... here are afew from their session for their Christmas this year.

this one didn't work that great because the sun was working against us, i wish i'd brought something to block it. i still think its cute though.

i got to photograph this little dude when he was just 2 minutes old. it was such a privilege.

when we got back to the house, the neighbors had their rabbit out...

bubbies

2008-10-11T23:59:00.000-04:00

i've been taking pictures of this little dude since he was less than a year old, i'm pretty sure he is the most photogenic child i've ever hung out with. we are buddies.
caught this yesterday when i was shooting his family's, family portrait.

and thats his sister dancing in the background.

Sarah&Josh = Engaged

2008-10-05T01:46:00.000-04:00

these two came down to cincinnati for their engagement shoot. we had alot of fun. i don't require all of my dayton clients to come to me of course, it just worked out nicely because we shot in a park that they actually considered getting married in, so it was neat for them, and i'm still exploring around here so it gave me a good excuse to scout. i'm really looking forward to photographing their vows and celebration.

i was really excited about this sign grave yard that a friend of mine had told me about awhile ago. i searched for awhile the day before to find it for this shoot. i didn't get as many shots there as i wanted to, but it was still fun, i'm sure i'll end up back there pretty soon, it has so much potential!

teaser

2008-09-14T22:22:00.000-04:00

josh and sarah are getting married next month.

i have more to post, this is just a teaser until i get the chance to post the rest.

also, if you think its possible to get sick of this face, we need to have a chat.

:)

the great white north

2008-08-13T15:10:00.000-04:00

i drove up to ontario last week to spend four days to see a very good friend of mine. we have one of those relationship where it doesn't matter what we do, we're just glad to be together, as cheesy as that sounds, its the truth. i am very blessed to have her. one of the nights i was there, she had some friends over and we had a bonfire in her back yard.

the evening before i left, we were discussing what to do. rachael asked me if i wanted to go to niagara falls. i was there when i was in jr. high, and only saw the american side so i said sure why not. when i agreed i had not thought about the tourism that surrounds that place. needless to say we enjoyed the walk, and did a bit of making fun of the nonsense. favorite moment of the evening: rachael and i walking down the sidewalk, a guy in front of a club, with fliers says "hey ladies, you want to come to a free party tonight?" we said no and kept walking... he replied with "but i'll be there!" rachael turned around, looked him in the eye and said "HAH. HAH. thats tempting!!" turned back around and kept walking. behind us we hear "well i thought it was." we spent several minutes afterwards discussing how it was that we looked like the type of people that wanted to party. we eventually decided that they didn't care what you were dressed like, they just want you to buy drinks. on the walk back, i pulled out of my camera and my fisheye, set my iso at 1600 (which i was actually quite impressed with the overall performance, i usually don't go above 800 with my digital just because i think it'll turn out really noisy, they didn't, just grainy, as they are supposed to be at that speed.) and shot a ton while walking... hope you enjoy... i know i did

the drive both up and back was quite enjoyable, i really do enjoy traveling, especially driving, by myself... i stopped in pittsburgh for afew days on the way home, stay tuned....

2008-08-12T18:43:00.000-04:00

if you have a myspace account, you can "add me" and enjoy quite abit of my work here i finally got it up and going, i still have new and old stuff to add to it...

i have plenty to post here too. you might already know that my summers are usually very full of touring and ministry work. while i did not tour full time this summer, i did some of it, plus second shooting a couple out of town weddings, a family reunion type event (where i got to take a 5 generation picture! my great grandma down to my nephew) and some road tripping of my own. i will be shooting and doing ministry with no one underground and stand true ministries this weekend at purple door music festival in pa, then moving. but admist all of that, i will post soon. actually, i'm going to upload my photos from my trip to canada and pittsburgh this past week right now... hope all is well!

jennifer and mike

2008-07-24T23:13:00.000-04:00

spent another day down in louisville second shooting with the lovely amy shepherd earlier this summer...

2008-07-13T01:10:00.000-04:00

i have quite a variety of recent work to share with you, but i have been so busy actually shooting/editing etc i haven't had time to blog any of it. stayed tuned for it will come soon.

i can't resist my nephew baby.

cheeks.

2008-06-02T02:02:00.000-04:00

i'm never gonna get enough of this lil' guy... good thing he's my nephew...

his smile reminds me so much of his great great grandmother. so precious. and yes, he has a great great grandmother.

another adventure

2008-05-06T00:14:00.000-04:00

a recent adventure took us to an abandoned amusement park...

i shot a roll of slide film, and crossed processed it.

afew rolls of black and white, and over developed it.

and some color film.

and it confirmed the brilliance of my hasselblad.

my babies

2008-04-22T01:21:00.000-04:00

though i'm not a mother, i am one at heart, i enjoy spending time with, taking care of and photographing children. and until i get married and have my own, my camera's are like my babies to me for now...

my new [to me] baby is a hasselblad 500cm. it's an absolutely gorgeous medium format camera. i purchased the body awhile ago, but i just received my 50mm lens, i'm so excited i can finally use it! the clarity of this lens is just phenomenal, this screen doesn't do these photographs justice.

i've only shot two rolls through it so far but i wanted to share these. that's right, i'm still stuck in the film world, on purpose... ....so maybe not stuck, i do plenty of digital work as well, as most of the work on this blog so far has been, i enjoy working in both worlds.

here are some real babies that are getting too big too fast and aren't really babies anymore, there are 5 siblings total and they are all very close to my heart...

more wedding candids

2008-04-11T13:36:00.001-04:00

last year i drove down to louisville for a weekend to shoot two weddings with Amy Shepherd. i wanted to see what i could learn from observing her in the midst of it all. i ended up doing alot of candid work; again, what i love. as usual, i was drawn to the kids, as you will soon see. amy uploaded the pictures off my cards before i left town so she could use them, but otherwise i didn't really need them for anything so they've just been sitting on my hard drive, i was going through folders the other night, found them and thought, 'some of these are blog worthy.' so here they are.

second wedding in Louisville with Amy Shepherd

2008-04-11T03:03:00.000-04:00

most of my favorites from this one were simply the bridal party hanging out waiting to get their formal pictures taken.

the family trying to get the attention of one of the little ones behind amy who was taking the formal pictures...ha.

Kristin + Charlie

2008-04-08T22:34:00.000-04:00

i've known Kristin and her family since i was about 5. i loved getting to capture her wedding because i was the third shooter, afew other photographers were there doing the formal stuff, so all my effort went towards candids, capturing those "moments" that you often miss when you are concerned about catching all of the important events of the ceremony, reception, etc... i think my favorite part of this day was the getting ready shots. i might be because Kristin, her two sisters, and her mom are like family to me and so i was very comfortable getting in their faces with the camera and just enjoying their excitement. but i really do love the atmosphere that is set by a bride hours away from getting married, surrounded by her closest female friends. i was also quite pleased with the shots from the dance floor at the reception.

a little bird, that might be Kristin's mom, told me that Kristin said that these pictures make her feel like she is there again. i'll take that as a compliment.

as mentioned, i love doing the background stuff using my artistic eye, catching those moments that pass in a second, but can also do the lead photographers job as well... email me at emmawphoto@gmail.com if you are interested...

enjoy.

lil' megan

2008-03-28T19:49:00.000-04:00

remember miss megan at christmas? i had some more from that shoot that i wanted to share. she is getting so big already i'm sure i'll have more of her to share soon, now that she is old enough to smile intentionally (when these were taken she was just over a month old,) her smile really is the sweetest.

^one of my favorite lensbaby shots, yet...

baby bottom

baby wrinkles

i had alot of fun with the lensbaby...

what's better than baby feet?

so peaceful

bye bye

abby's graduatin'

2008-03-10T22:28:00.000-04:00

this is abby. we've had fun shooting her HS senior pictures throughout the past few months... we did several different shoots and locations, which resulted in so many to pick from, this is just a glimpse. i always encourage the seniors i photograph to bring a close friend along for the shoot so they are more comfortable, and the shots are more natural looking; the laughter it brings is always a plus too. abby brought her sister along (there are some of both of them at the bottom.) i love them together. enjoy!

contact me at emmawphoto@gmail.com if you are interested in setting up a senior shoot. there is still time!

2008-03-10T21:43:00.001-04:00

here are afew of my favorites from a shoot last week...

this little fella is about to steal your heart, so hold onto it tight.

2008-02-06T12:09:00.000-05:00

photographing my first nephew was a neat experience. even now i'm looking at these photos and realizing that i already know him, and his faces, even though he's only less than 2 weeks old (yes, he looks much older, i know...)

if i had to pick a favorite thing to photograph, babies and children would be it. i come to your home (or place of choice,) it's relaxing and fun for all of us, i just come over and mostly hang out with you and your baby for awhile. if you like what you see, and have a baby, email me at emmawphoto@gmail.com to find out my prices and procedure, it's really quite simple.

the human flight committee

2008-02-06T03:16:00.000-05:00

it was a pleasant surprise that friends of mine from the beautiful state of new hampshire happened to be playing in tennessee when i was there. the human flight committee puts on one of the best shows around. and i wouldn't just say that. they really do. getting as close as i did was alittle risky, these guys never stop moving, they are one of my favorite bands to shoot because of it. it was quite refreshing to see and hear these boys play their music, and to hang out with them for a few hours. enjoy.

(oh and, if you are local, they are playing in dayton march 4th. come check it out.)

what Joy

2008-01-27T19:30:00.001-05:00

this wedding was very significant to me. amanda is a good friend of mine, and has meant alot of me for a long time. not only did i get to be there to celebrate the union of her and sam, but i got to capture it all in my camera... couldn't have been happier. the smile on amanda's face was priceless. laughter fills so many of these photo's from her wedding. the wedding really was quite pleasant, intimate; Joy was so evident...

these are only afew of my favorites... i'll be adding more to my flickr account as soon as i get a chance. enjoy!

the long awaited Fabiano wedding soon to come to a blog near you...

just thought i'd give you an update, i heard from several people that they wanted to check out the colors series mentioned below but didn't get a chance before they were supposed to come down, well, they decided they wanted to keep them up for another week or so. so if you didn't get to, and wanted to. go check them out.

and check back here too. i will have more of miss megan, some good friends weddings, musical adventures, some recent seniors and much more posted soon!

Merry Christmas.
Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

artwork on display at Therapy

my final for a studio class i took last spring is currently being displayed at Therapy Cafe (452 E. Third St.) in downtown Dayton, OH. here is a glimpse. i say a glimpse because this is only afew of them, and also seeing them here is nothing like seeing them printed and mounted (in other words, this is not the "proper" presentation of them) we were all very pleased. much time and effort was put into it, it was quite enjoyable, and i grew alot as a photographer, creating. if you like what you see, i would encourage you to stop by therapy to check them out. to find their hours go to www.therapy-cafe.com. i'd love to hear feedback!

stay tuned for more frequent posting. my lack of blogging has not meant i haven't not been creating... quite the opposite. i haven't had time to blog what i've been working on, so i'll be doing some catching up real soon......

you might know that i am on a missions tour with Stand True ministries all summer.
a few nights before we got on the road, some great friends of mine from TN played a show in downtown Dayton.
it was a splendid show, fun to watch and photograph.
i love watching friends do a good job at what they love and fulfill dreams.

they danced.

i wanted a place to share my work as i work on it... so here i am.
i am going to be on the road all summer with Stand True ministries, so i will not be posting as often as i'd like to eventually, but i will still post. i have the pleasant responsibility of being the one to capture what we do on the road all summer so we can share it with people, as the photographer, so i'm sure i will be posting alot of that in the coming weeks. i will pull from the archives here and there too, stayed tuned.

welcome to the journey of a growing artist in blog form, i do hope you enjoy, think, smile, laugh, cry, be challenged, blessed, encouraged, and whatever else...
