I friend of mine named Jess Hover (you have probably seen her on here before) started a ministry called Beauty Arise, a movement of women who desire to bring value, beauty and identity to other women all over the world. Jess has been working behind the scenes at both New York & Los Angeles Fashion week for the past several years now. She goes with a team of girls to dress the models, help with everything that goes on behind the runway, and at the same time to bring a positive and encouraging vibe to the high-stress, high-pressure environment they are all a part of. I was able to go with them one day to take photo and video, and I absolutely loved it.
Salvation Mountain & the Salton Sea
It was 107 degrees. But experiencing these desert vibes was worth the near heat stroke.
Germany Pt. 1
I’m finally finishing up editing photos from my trip to Europe. This motorcycle was found in the garage of the girls house, and this photoshoot happened immediately after.
The Fourth
These guys are moving to Fullerton soon. So here are a few shots from the last 4th of July at Hoodridge.
Photographs
I just arrived in Kenya for a several week long photojournalism trip. I am staying with a YWAM team out here and capturing what is going on as they do missionary work in Kisumu. When I pulled out my camera at the children hospital the first day, the mothers who were staying with their children asked me to take a “snap” of them. Afterwords they asked if they could have the photos, so today I asked Bob to get them printed for me while he was out.
I was able to give the photos to the mothers, and it was really amazing to see their reaction. I only assume that they have never had professional family photographs taken, and I am so glad that they now have some to remember these moments.
The survival rate of this cancer ward is about 50%. If some of these kids don’t make it, I want these mothers to be able to remember their children.
Went Away Holiday
I had a little holiday a couple weeks ago to Oregon with a few friends.
Thank you friends and family so much for housing us. Our trip was filled with reunions, good talks, coffee, and lots of trains and buses.
Here are a few shots from Bend, Salem, and Portland.
Josiah’s One-Year Birthday
This past Saturday was Josiah’s birthday! There were a lot of young ones at his party, and I couldn’t help but photograph them. Enjoy the cuteness.
