it's almost time!

i leave in 9 days!
i'm so excited - mainly because i am headed to the chillest place in the world! i've decided that i will do a little video when i get there so everyone can see how pretty it is :)

i found out yesterday that i am for sure doing a wedding in July! it is my one chance to come back to Georgia - but not Savannah :( i'm so excited, though! i will be photographing Liz and Andrew's wedding in north GA. they are very good friends of my brother and sis-in-law, and they all went to college together. i'm stoked. i just love the documentary feel that comes along with weddings - it's my favorite.

i am packing in a lot of Savannah people time for the next few days. i'll be going on a picnic in Forsyth tomorrow with my 2 wonderful friends, and will hopefully have a lot of picture opportunities throughout this week.
i am very excited about some photo projects that i will be trying to work on for a group in my brother's church called Proskuneo. they are GREAT. i'm just thankful that i have an opportunity to try to help out. check them out: www.proskuneo.info

the gospel is boring?

"God forgive us for all those we have lost because we make the gospel boring. I am convinced that if we lose kids to the culture of drugs and materialism, of violence and war, it's because we don't dare them, not because we don't entertain them. It's because we make the gospel too easy, not because we make it too difficult. Kids want to do something heroic with their lives, which is why they play video games and join the army. But what are they to do with a church that teaches them to tiptoe through life so they can arrive safely at death?"

oh snap.
so i started back on reading Shane's book last night.

i took bridal and engagement photos for my friend from high school, Lauren, and she is just the loveliest person! she and Nick will be getting married in June.
by the way, how weird is it to have friends from high school getting married?? :)
