The best place to start would probably be the blog. It’ll give you a glimpse into who we are, how we work, and what we do.

We are located in the Golden Isles of Georgia and spend most of our time shooting weddings, portraits, and sports on St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island, and Brunswick, GA. We are available for destination shoots as well.

Stop by and maybe leave a comment or two.

Amanda and I finally found one! Found what? A photographer’s meetup!

The Glynn Photographer’s Meetup is a group of people that meet at a certain location, shoot, go home and develop, print, and then show off their work a couple weeks later. It was really fun just to shoot with and talk with other photographers in the area.

Above is one of the shots I walked away with.

Why don’t you come and join us next time?

I am a husband, a designer, a photographer, a tech guy, a musician, a Christian, a blogger, and a wreck some times.

I want God to focus me. I want to fill my life with God’s plan and not the excess stuff that gets in His way.

So this is my ask for your prayers.

I want to have time to chill out and seek Him. That’s been getting neglected. So has my family. Neither them or God should get my leftovers.

Thanks for your prayers.

In addition, I made it to Fred McKinnon’s worship confessional (below) by accident. He probably stole all my music stands from the youth room so I had to go steal one back. (Just joking, Fred. It was probably Travis).

Today I had off from SSCC. Originally Amanda and I were going to take a small vacation today but decided to put it off to later. Instead we chilled at the house and slept in today. Amanda went and picked us up some McDonalds breakfast and we tuned into LifeChurch.tv for church. It’s really amazing to be able to be able to join a service online with chat, responses, music, notes, and a message. Don’t forget the online Bible at YouVersion.com.

Music-wise, they did:

• Leelad - Count Me In
• MercyMe - God With Us
• Delirious - We Give You Praise
• Future of Forestry - Gazing

The music was done well. It was energetic. The band was into their music and I couldn’t find a music stand on set.

The message is part of a series called True-ish dealing with the gray areas of life. Today dealt with relativism, judging others, and being a “bad” person. Amanda and I really enjoyed it. 

If you’ve never experienced it, do so next time you can. They are live on Saturday at 6:30am and 8:00pm CST; Sunday at 10:00am GMT, 10:00am, 11:30am, and 1:00pm CST; Monday at 8:00pm GMT and 8:00pm CST; and Tuesday at 12:00pm and 8:00pm CST. More info at their internet campus. 

Have a good Sunday. I hope your services went well.

I hear so often in prayer the word “just”. 

Just.

Just?

What does that mean when one asks God to “just” do something. Is it a sign of a small faith? Do we somehow think that God only wants to do a little bit in our lives? If we have a big faith let’s pray big prayers. Try this. 

Consciously think of what you’re saying while praying. Consider every word. Does each truly reflect your faith? Do we say “Lord, just help him to get well” when what our heart’s desire is “Lord, I’m desperate. Work a miracle. Please heal him fully and let your name be glorified in that hospital!”? Two prayers so alike but so different.

Paul makes it especially clear in Ephesians 3:14-21. 

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

That’s a big prayer. 

After his prayer he refers to God as “him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine”. That doesn’t sound like a “just” God to me. That sounds like a God who loves us. That sounds like a God who wants to do BIG things in our lives. We can’t understand what He wants to do in our lives. Paul prayed for power and for them to understand love. 

When we pray “Lord, just be with him in his need” do we really mean “Lord, he needs your power in his life. He doesn’t understand how much You love him. Show him how much You care for him. He needs You.” 

Would you start praying big… praying for more than you can imagine?

I started praying big for SSCC. I see my prayers being answered. 

He isn’t a “just” God. He’s a “more” God. Take Him up on it. I promise you He won’t let you down.

What do you think? Have you seen God in action doing this?

So anyway, I want to treat you guys with some debt advice straight from Saturday Night Live. Enjoy.

The truth is in the satire. Seriously, don’t buy stuff you cannon afford!

Blake and Brooke got married in Folkston, GA at the Newell Lodge Resort on October 4th last year. It was a neat place to shoot. Very much in the woods, down the dirt road, off the highway. It felt very secluded and peaceful even for Amanda and I on what usually becomes a hectic, fast-paced day of photos, photos, photos. We spent the night in the cabins there and woke up fresh and ready to go. We even go to sample some of the food that morning as the people prepared it. 

It was a good day of shooting that - like I said - was pretty chill. Having a great place to shoot and a beautiful wedding is a dream.

Fred, Shroder in the show, whipped out his Treo and grabbed some back stage footage that I’m in and I thought I’d share it with you guys. 

Pictures will be up soon (I hope).

I got contacted through flickr by Liberty Baptist Church in Dalton, GA about using last year’s SSCC Christmas series art for “Be Still” as an e-card for their church. Sure, anything I can do to help someone get the message of God’s love out. So here’s what they came up with followed by my original.
