Bob Jones University Publication - Milwaukee Missions Photographer

Have you ever had a day that seems entirely surreal? Something happens that you've been waiting a long time for, or you've questioned ever happening. Today was like that for me. 

 I received hard copies of my first ever published work! A few months ago, the editor of the Bob Jones University magazine contacted me. He'd stumbled upon my image collection from my time in South America, and wanted to use a few images for a story in their next issue. My response to his question was an elated "OF COURSE!". I am so excited to not just be getting published, but aid in sharing a powerful story of a family in the Amazon, who have adopted 4 children, and work as missionaries. 

The houseboat in the last full-page image is the missionaries' actual home! While in Brazil, I got to meet their Boxer (seen in the image) - we quickly became friends! 

I am thankful to God for this chance to use the gifts he's given for His work!

Thanks for taking a read & a look. Stay warm.

The full-page image of the dog & houseboat is mine. The image of the family is not mine; I don't know who took it, although I wish I did!

Milwaukee Wedding [Donny & Porscha are Married!] - Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

The Story of:

Donny & Porscha

The love these two share for each other and others around them is immense. I have so enjoyed getting to know Donny and Porscha over the last several months; capturing their story was a blessing to me! Here's the short version of how this all came to be:

 The two met each other through mutual friends (There may or may not have been some matchmaking involved! ;). After a short bit of prayer and seeking God's wisdom, they started dating. Their first date was at Whitnall Park, sitting in Donny's truck in the cold January weather, talking, and looking over the frosty lake. Doing their Bridal Party portraits at that very same location was so fitting. We even used Donny's truck! Enjoy the story of their marriage day; it is my hope that you will catch a glimpse of the beauty that happened.

             

Well, that's the end. . .Of the beginning!
