RUF + JSU

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Reformed University Fellowship ministry on the campus of Jackson State University. Rev. Elbert McGowan is the director/leader of this ministry @ JSU and has become a close family friend. As you will see his adorable children captured my attention, A LOT!!! Not only are they absolutely adorable, there seems to be a magnet in my camera that ALWAYS gravitates to children! What can I say, I have a soft spot for kids. :)
This ministry is still in the early years of growth and establishment, but with the leadership and teaching of Elbert and the work of the Lord, it has grown in ways that are unimaginable. The amount of students at JSU that attend, their sincere love for the Lord, and their desire to worship Him in their college years is astounding. Needless to say the Gospel is establishing deep roots on the Jackson State campus and seeds are being sown that will transform lives, cultures, and generations to come.
I felt very honored to be a part of it and to get the chance to capture the excitement of RUF in action. Shhhhh! Don't tell, but I'm going to try and sneak back for another session and to hear more of Elbert's teaching! 
YES, it's THAT good! 
Enjoy a few shots of what the Lord is doing at JSU...

Children + Family Journal :|: Thornton Families

I just love the Winters Family! Heather and Eric are practically part of my family. Their girls are bestest friends with my niece and nephews, as well as they are best of friends with my brother and sis-in-law. Also they are no strangers to my camera as I have done several sessions with their beautiful, adorable lil' girls!  This year I had the privilege of doing a complete Winter-Thornton Family session! I got to meet Heather's parents, two brothers and their families. It was a gorgeous day and we made the most of the sunshine and their family land. Her mom was so sweet to cut the grass for me and fix things up just so ... then I shocked her by wanting to do a lot of the shooting in an old chicken house. The lighting was amazing as the bright sunshine diffused through the house. hahaha! I guess only a crazy photographer's eye   would think of such insanity! ha! Sorry Mrs. Barbara... I had so much fun meeting all of the Thornton family...   Heather, I know I've ...

Wedding :|: Tim + Janet Jordan

I love Janet Morrow Jordan! I had the privilege of working with her during my high school and college days. We went through a lot together, therefore it meant the world to me to have the privilege to capture her wedding. I enjoyed every second of Janet + Tim's special day. It brought my heart deep joy and satisfaction to see Janet so happy and loved. Not only did I enjoy capturing her wedding; shooting her wedding also reunited Janet and I after about eight years of our lives going in opposite directions. So not only am I overjoyed at her finding the love of her life. I am thrilled to have a great friend back! The only problem in doing this post is I had trouble only picking a few pictures... so it's a long post of fun details and love. Enjoy  Amber, Janet's precious daughter, wrote her the most intimate, loving letter before her wedding. She gave her the letter to read along with a handkerchief which belonged to Janet's PePop. Amber also carried PePop's hand...
