Wow, what a joy to be part of the wedding of Barbara Sutton and Michael Hinson this weekend! I’m praising the Lord for their godly example of letting the Lord guide their relationship, seeking the blessing and counsel of their parents and vowing “till death do us part”. It will be exciting to see how […]
Here are some pictures from the delightful time I’ve had visiting family and friends earlier this month. At the moment I am actually in the air flying to Montana for Barbara Sutton’s wedding! Looking out my window and down at the clouds while I read has really brought to life this flight illustration I’m reading […]
James and I had a great time at the HEAV Convention! Last week at the Family Conference in Nashville we were challenged to be more specific in our prayer life. So this week our specific request for this convention was that we would be able to make good connections with other photographers. That prayer has […]
This was the encouraging theme of the 2014 Family Conference. I appreciated the conference on a whole new level this year since I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to go. Not only was it a fabulous time with the family, reunion with friends, time to meet new friends and a chance to […]

This book by Mark Batterson was a huge encouragement to my prayer life! I would recommend it to everyone! It is overflowing with personal illustrations and inspiring scripture. Here a few quotes from the book: “All of us love miracles. We just don’t like being in a situation that necessitates one. We hate finding ourselves […]
