...whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. (John 4:14)

When this cute little bunny started hopping around my office lawn last summer, I couldn't help grabbing my camera and getting a few shots of him hiding in the grass.  If you are wondering why I caught him, I was moving him due to the fact that my office lawn is ten feet away from the highway and he was headed in that direction.  I got him safely away in the other direction though.

My First Wedding

Wow, just looking at these pictures again bring back a bunch of memories!  It was really an amazing time.  It had been raining all morning, and continued to rain as we started shooting the wedding party pictures, but Kelsey and Ben were great...they gave me almost four hours to shoot pictures before the wedding, so I wasn't under a ton of pressure.  On top of that, they were really laid back and comfortable with everything, not to mention being a totally awesome looking couple!

Thanks Ben and Kelsey for the great memories!

In this picture, if you look close, the chairs are all filled with water from the rain.  God answered our prayers though, and even though it was raining all morning, it stopped just in time for the wedding, and was the most beautiful, cool, sunny day ever!  God is good.

Foot picture!

I couldn't believe that Kelsey was willing to walk down this muddy woods trail in her wedding dress before the wedding.  Brave woman! :o)

What a cute couple!

Now how cool is this?  The groom and his family brought along shotguns to shoot clays before the wedding!  They were still popping pigeons out of the sky when the prelude music was going ten minutes before the ceremony.  I love it!

Waiting for the bride..

One more kiss for the camera!

"And they are living happily ever after!"

Curiosity

Curiosity is what drives us to learn new things, to look around the corner, to take the next step, to go just a little bit farther down the road.  Stay curious.

GROW!!

But GROW in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Motocross Madness!

Sport photography presents many challenges to the photographer due to the high speed motion, uncontrolled lighting, dust...etc.

I had fun taking these race pictures last summer when I went to watch some friends compete at the county fair.

Notice his back left foot....showing off his moves!
