Tulsa

This past weekend, we went to Tulsa for a workshop. It was so much fun! We went to tons of classes, learned a whole lot about unity and "emerging church" type of stuff. We had wonderful times of worship and praise, and we met up with some old friends. Some of our friends are kiwis, or New Zealanders. It was so energizing to be around them, but it made us yearn for NZ. We're trying desperately to find a way to get to NZ sooner, so we could really use prayers to wait on God's timing and to know when that is.

Here are a few pics of the weekend. Also, you guys need to check out the band Shades of Green. They're totally awesome! I went to school with one of the members, and I know they will make it big! They're website is www.shadesofgreenmusic.com. Go check them out!

My true first gig ever

Okay, somewhere along the way, I forgot about the very first wedding that I took pictures at. It was an intimate little wedding. I took these pictures before I ever thought about doing photography full time. I used a 35mm film camera with black and white film. I had the shutter speed too slow, considering the lights were dimmed. But nonetheless, here they are. They are raw, but still show the emotion of such a blessed event. This one's for you, Jess and Dan! Congrats on making this a beautiful committment!

My favorite thing to photograph

These are two photos from a shoot I did almost three years ago. These are my favorite TYPE of photos to do. I LOVE to photograph pregnant women. I don't know why, but I love the big bellies. I am fasinated with them. I have another friend who is about to give birth soon. We're going to do a shoot soon, so hopefully I'll have some new photos to share.

Some more!

Okay, here's a couple more. I could really use some opinions about the "blurry" one. I really like it because it's almost got a cool, artsy-fartsy feel to it. But I'm not sure it looks that way to everyone else...especially the bride and groom. Should I keep it for my website (that I don't even have yet)? Should I even give a copy to the couple? Help! What do you all think?!?

Pics from my first gig!

Here are just a few pics from the wedding I did this past weekend! It was my first wedding ever, so keep that in mind! Also, I haven't done any cool effects to the pics yet. They are just the way I took them. I hope you all enjoy. Your comments are welcome and much appreciated!!
