Free Burma Ranger Event

2011-08-03T08:54:00.002-05:00

From their site :

"The Free Burma Rangers' (FBR) mission is to provide hope, help and love to internally displaced people inside Burma, regardless of ethnicity or religion. Using a network of indigenous field teams, FBR reports on human rights abuses, casualties and the humanitarian needs of people who are under the oppression of the Burma Army. FBR provides medical, spiritual and educational resources for IDP communities as they struggle to survive Burmese military attacks."

More information can be found at:

http://www.freeburmarangers.org/

"The purpose of this event was to provide updates on the situation inside Burma, as well as network, pray and discuss how you can get involved."

It was a privilege to be a part of this exercise.

I urge you to check out their website and learn more.

The Woodland Wedding

2011-07-13T11:04:00.000-05:00

In the heat of July 2nd a wedding occurred. Moments before the ceremony, a storm rolled through the area cooling the temps 10 degrees and bringing with it beautiful skies. After the union, snow cones were served and the guests enjoyed a relaxing evening filled with laughter and great conversation. We so enjoyed creating images of these two lives being joined together.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Eric Walter!

2011-05-29T17:51:00.000-05:00

Recently, I have had the pleasure to be a part of a special project...The building of a chapel for the marriage of a daughter. This labor of love is a precious thing to help with and observe. It is ...in many ways ...the beginning of something beautiful.

Are merely shadows cast by outward things....

Saturday Morning with the Bakers

2011-03-15T11:46:00.000-05:00

Senior portraits are just awesome! I always have so much fun creating lasting images of the many different personalities.

I had a great time with the Bakers as we spent a beautiful Saturday morning walking around downtown Siloam Springs photographing in different locations.

No Picture Today

2011-03-09T19:21:00.000-06:00

We are getting into a whole new rhythm here. Senior picture season is gearing up as are weddings and elopements! FUN! Spring is full of change and excitement.
I came across a quote today while reading with my boys and thought it would be appropriate to share here in lieu of an image.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account
of the present, but is a source of inspiration,
of vitality and hope where others have resigned;
it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the
future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

While we may never face the odds Dietrich Bonhoeffer did, those are great words to take us into the rebirth of spring.

-22 is nothing! I laugh at you :>)

Stuck on the Mountain (Day 4)

2011-02-05T09:50:00.000-06:00

Day four stuck on the mountain. The boys are having tons of fun building snow forts and having snowball fights. The sun is out this morning and making everything shine.We typically use the line for drying.

Snow Day Number Two (Stuck on the Mountain)

2011-02-03T10:46:00.000-06:00

Day two of being stuck on the mountain. It is 5 degrees outside and I am not to motivated to go photograph. Birds in the front yard are always a good go to subject.

Enjoy the day and stay warm

Snow days at home

2011-02-02T17:43:00.000-06:00

Today was amazing! The sun finally popped out and we really enjoyed watching the birds feed on the front porch. During snow days we typically put out an extra amount of food. Looking forward to getting the roads cleared so we can get off the mountain, but we will enjoy while we are here.
Be safe

Winter Neighbors

2011-01-24T09:44:00.000-06:00

Every winter we usually get several bald eagles staying around the mountain. This year they decided to stay around our house. It's pretty cool for the kids to witness eagles so close to home.
