Fall Family Session 1

"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." Colossians 3:15

This fall, I photographed two brothers and their families. I've known these families for some time now, and it seems like just yesterday these two couples were newlyweds. In fact, one couple had their wedding photos taken in this very same park.

Amazing what can happen in 10+ years! Their children are so sweet and so beautiful. What wonderful blessings--all 5 of them!










Sports Photography

"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power if made perfect in weakness.' Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." 2 Corinthians 12:9

Back in early September, I had the opportunity to dabble into some sports photography. I got on the field at my brother-in-law's team's football game. He's the head coach at Joliet Township. It was an amazing experience. The sounds, the colors...even the smell of the grass. It was thrilling to my senses.

I gained a better appreciation for my brother-in-law's talents as a coach...for his determination and leadership. I was also impressed with the character of many of the young men on his team.
