Hi friends! Yes, we’re still here, and we’ve missed you! In an effort to simplify our lives/business, we’ve taken a (tiny) step back and adjusted our priorities. One of those adjustments (for me) was to spend more time photographing my own family and being more “in the moment” with our kiddos. I just spent the last five days photographing Summer Spectacular at Southwest Community Church. This is the first year that I’ve been present for all five days, and the first year that our little boy was old enough to attend. Being a “shutterbug” for Summer Spectacular gave me the freedom to be with Aden and Ava throughout the day. Here are a few key points about this past week.

1. I’m exhasuted

2. I’m in awe of the staff/volunteers at SCC

3. I’m crazy about our church.

It took hundreds of people to make this week happen for about 1,000 children. We were blessed to have the incredible Rob Biagi join us for the week and we the kids raised $11,000 for Safe Families! Here are a handful of my favorite images.
