Youth Beach Camp 2010

I was blessed last week to accompany our youth group as they went to beach camp.

It was a very spiritual and emotional week for me. This is one of the photos I took, not of the youth, but of footprints. I think it sums up the feeling of the week the best. There are more photos that I took, but I could only pick one for this post. While, this is NOT the most photogenic, dramatic, or even most well composed photo, It's worth sharing.

Hope everyone has a great 4th of july weekend! If you want to see more photos from beach camp, click on this one and it will take you to the fickr photo stream where you can see more.

But, I like this one.

It was one of the last photos i captured with this couple, and after spending the morning with them, I thought that this pose fit their personality. It's a little "vougue-ish" but it was fun. I loved shooting this couple, as they had great personalities, but they also were both very photogenic.

as always, if you click on the image then you can see others from the same set.

I love shooting this little girl. It's the second time i've gotten to photograph her, and she is so much fun, and so photogenic. She was at 6 months old for this shoot, and that is about the last age that i like to do "naked" baby photos, they just aren't real cute after that. We did a lot of stunning photos, but I like this one because it is a dramatic photo.

She actually hated taking this photo and was crying the whole time, but as soon as we turned her around and she could see us again, she was happy. I like the shot though, and it wi be cherished for a long time.

you get out of a shoot, what you put into it.

This is an image from a newborn shoot I did. It is by far, not the most stunning image (photography wise) in the set, but it is the most heart touching. This is the image of this sweet baby boy with his dad's guitar. The lyrics, are the lyrics that his dad wrote for him. His lullaby.

This is the image that will be cherished, as you get a real view of just how small this sweet baby is, and you get these lyrics that came straight from dad's heart.

It's emotional.

sometimes (often) you get a 2 year old that doesn't want to sit still and be photographed. This image is from one of those sessions. It is my favorite image of her from the session.

She is such a cute child. She wanted to run around, and play, and have fun. She was very curious and a joy to be with. I managed to catch her being still for a split second, and this shot is the result. If you click on the image, it will take you to flickr where you can see the rest. (the one shown here, does not show all of the image)

I love getting to do what I do.

This is a precious family that I was fortunate to get to photograph! They had such great personalities. I took lots of pictures, including group pictures, but I like this composite that I created for them. To me, it's just "fun" so i thought i would share it with you. They really were a great bunch to work with.

I am thankful to God for blessing me with such a talent so I can meet such wonderful people, and capture great moments for them.
