​Jesus loves the little children

​Jesus loves the little children

​Today this sweet face was on my mind.

We only met briefly during my trip to Haiti last August but her beautiful smile ​radiated through my camera lens. 

With a team nine of us women from our church), we spent a week partnering with MOH Haiti, serving alongside them through Vacation Bible School, village ministry time and transporting supplies to build latrines. 

Their country has faced so many struggles, so much heartache in the recent years. What I anticipated to be a sorrowful, tear-filled trip did not occur. Yes, there were tears. But where there could have been sadness, there was joy. In a remote village in the middle of the Haitian countryside, there was hope. 

"Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy, To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul waits for the LordHe is our help and our shield." {Psalm 33:18-20}

God made it abundantly clear to me last summer that HE had been at work and was at work in a place of brokenness. Through the men, women and children seeking His face, He was bringing restoration and life eternal. 

​These are just a few of the precious faces I met during our time in Titanyen.

Sara + Dan: sneak peek

This Saturday morning, I met up with Sara + Dan, one of the sweetest couples you'll ever met. We spent a chilly (and windy!) morning down by the Georgetown waterfront and walking through campus, capturing the essence of where they first met serving through our church's college ministry, The Gathering.

sara+dan

hey truly have hearts beating for the Lord and His work, and love one another through that overflow of Christ's love. I'm so stinkin' excited for their upcoming wedding this fall and am blessed each time I'm in their presence.

Aren't those flowers great? Dan picked them out for our early morning shoot. njoy the sneak peek. There will be more images to come!

​When it comes to checking out the beautiful pink blooms that DC's tidal basin shows off each spring, there's no messing around. We photographers are caffeinated, packed up and ready to capture the cherry blossoms even before the first rays of dawn come sneaking above the Potomac.

The fantastic Sam Reho and I got to shoot together (April Goal - checked off!) the day before she and other runners laced up for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler. So proud of her race running and loved the chance to enjoy the beauty of God's creation with such a sweet friend and wonderful sister in Christ.
