Read MoreBrandon and Kristin Kidd Photography – New Zealand Part II This is a two-fold sharing post because…. 1. This couple is amazing. Literally. Their photography, their faith, their perspective, their weddings… I love them all. So after you read this specific post, you should read the rest of their blog…. and follow them. 2. I’m sharing this post…. because this has just become something on my bucket list [and no… those aren’t just for old people]. Canyoning {traveling in canyons using a variety of techniques…. walking scrambling, climbing, jumping, abseiling and/or swimming} sounds like a fabulous adventure! Just look at the pictures. Rappeling. Rock slides. Free Falls. Zip lines. WIN! So enjoy the pictures… and plan a trip with me. Sometime in the future. Hopefully near[er] future. For now.. just dream! Have a rad weekend!

Read MoreThe sun was just coming over the hill, shining through the window, as she crawled out of bed. She twisted her hair into a bun and slipped into her favorite yellow skirt. Putting flip-flops on her feet, she grabbed her bible and a cup of coffee and in the quiet stillness of the morning sat on the porch. She curled her legs under her skirt as she sat, drinking in the cool morning air and the fresh smells of growing things. Her arms had slight goosebumps on them, and she hugged herself. She thought about things, about life, and about her God. After a half hour of quiet time, she went back into the busy house, where the family was loud, getting ready for the day. Hoisting up the laundry basket full of wet clothes, she lugged it out to the clothes line. The morning sun shone over the roof of the house and in her eyes as she hung the clothes. She shook them out, pinned one side and then the other, and moved to the next piece of laundry. She hung the last piece and left the basket next to the pole. Later that day she would play Frisbee with her friends, meeting at the park. She kicked off her flip-flops and felt the grass fit between…
Read MoreI wasn’t going to write a blog post tonight, but….. Sometimes, it’s kind of pain being a photographer… It makes it hard to sit around and just enjoy awesome light. There was a pretty sweet sunrise going on I couldn’t just sit and read my book. It end up being totally worth it! And a shoot like this at the ball field is coming up soon, complete with uni and all. Can’t wait!

Read MoreA friend of mine [Abbey] mentioned this video the other day during a good conversation. We were talking about how as Christians a lot of times we’re so scared of falling, or sinning, or getting corrupted that we err on the side of safety. Always. We rarely take risks, because we’re scared of getting stained? Or hurt? Or.. Or.. Or.. That’s not what God called us to do! We’re here to seek first the Kingdom of God, not safety, not salvation, the KINGDOM OF GOD. Which means we need to be conquers, overcomers, on the defense, not the offense. Someone recently said, “I truly believe that He who is in me is greater than He who is in the world. I truly believe that, and that’s why once I’ve raised my kids I send them OUT into the world.” Our God is greater. Do we truly believe that? Then let’s stop clinging to the beam and get out there! There’s no point in staying pure or unscathed if we aren’t doing things for the Kingdom of God!
