Veteran's Day THANK YOU

Thank you to every Veteran that may be reading this. Thank you for your service and for choosing to do it despite knowing the sacrifices you could be called to make. Thank you for every Christmas, birthday, holiday, birth, death, tragedy, and celebration you've missed. Your presence was needed in various places yet you had a duty to your country that you honored. You filled the role as protector of the homeland as well as the innocent people of the region you were in. I love you for that. As we experienced our freedoms at home, you were slave to the regulations, prohibitions, circumstances, and limitations of the duty you were assigned to. You went without our landscape, freedoms, beds, sights, luxuries, and relationships. Thank you for your amazing giving heart.
To every wife, husband, mother, father, brother, sister, family member, friend, and child of a US Veteran: Thank You for your sacrifice to go through life alongside them in their duty. Your sacrifices-every minute you miss them, love them, wish they were home, write them, and call them; every tear you have shed is a blessing to our country and God has each one in a jar. I am praying that you feel an overwhelming THANK YOU from the day's events and know that many of us do not forget you the rest of the year. You are all amazing people. I appreciate and am in prayer for you!

Colby & Macy

It's "Married Couples Week" at JHCC. LOL! Well, it certainly feels that way with some of my favorite images lately. Some people wonder how they are blessed with the most amazing clients. I know how I am. God sends them to me! I pray for them! Colby and Macy (as well as many others) are an answer to prayer for the most amazing people to fall in love with while I shoot. I may not share this enough, but I really fall in love with people through my camera. Although it seems very random how each client comes to me, they read my bio or they see what I'm about and they come. God sends them. Everyone has a story and I find that documenting their faces is the best way for me to get to it. I love finding out their stories most and their images make me well up with prayer for them inside. The camera is, in countless ways, how I love humanity best. This couple right here have not only let me into their story, but they have poured into me dramatically with fun gallery views, investing in my business, investing in my person, feeding me dinner, having pep talks with loads of positivity, and investing in my family by inviting us to their get-togethers and birthday parties. My adopted 15 year old niece even gleaned from Macy's words of wisdom for a night while my kids played with Colby and their kids...just because Lathan needed to drop off a light saber gift at their house for Cullen. Colby fed us until we burst... Things I can never forget. I didn't know them before I started this business and my life is better now that I do. Who gets to say that about your clients?? I DO!! I love you, Colby and Macy!
