Jesus Center Christian School school photos

Jesus Center Christian School is a small Christian school out in Lakeview, CA. They've been there for nearly 30 years, and the building that they have has quite a history. JCCS asked me to come out and take their school photos, and here are some in no particular order...

MCA + Hands of Grace school photos

What a joy it was to take the photos for Morningstar Christian Academy and the Hands of Grace support group. This is a neat bunch of students, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to take their portraits. Here are a few shots in no particular order...

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July!

I enjoy celebrating Independence Day--visiting with friends, enjoying a meal outdoors, and especially the fireworks. My family and I went to the Sports Park in Temecula to watch the fireworks. We have a spot where we are literally right underneath where the fireworks will be bursting in the air.

Of course, I had to take my camera...















I hope everyone had a safe and fun Independence Day.

Photos of the Memory Albums

I put together some photos of what the Memory Albums look like.





The binding on these albums is pretty cool and very well done. These albums ought to last generations.





I can also get little albums for wallets. All the women and girls that have seen these albums have said "Awwwww...how CUTE!" Men usually just grunt and nod (well, the wise ones do anyway).



Imagine having this wallet sized album in your purse to either show off photos of your children, grand children, or photos of other seniors that you've traded photos with...



Color samples: Pearl, brown, pink, black and light blue.

Wildfires and Full Moon

Just about everyone's heard about those wildfires out in California. Fortunately, none are close to us. This is what the full moon looked like on October 25 through the haze of smoke.



Creepy.

Ryan was baptized today!

Ryan is one of my son Matthew's friends at church. Ryan is a really neat kid, and I'm glad and blessed that he's in our Wednesday night Master Club class at church. I took Ryan's school photo last week, and had found out that he was being baptized this Sunday. I had to bring my camera, and I'm glad that I did. It's such a blessing to watch people you know getting baptized as a public testimony of their belief in Christ.

Anyway, here's Ryan...



And here's his baptism:



Down he goes....



Up he comes...



Woo hoo!

AGA School Photos

*whew* What a busy day! We did the school photos for AGA today. Though it was busy at times, all the kids were great and we had as much fun as possible. I even took a photo of a bunny!

It's always amazing to me to see how much kids grow from year to year. I enjoy looking back on photos of my kids when they were younger, and seeing "how grown up they look." *sniff* I consider it a privilege to photograph this group of kids. Even the ones who ham it up, right Eric?

Here are a few quick ones that I thought I'd share...
























Last one for tonight! Now it's off to bed...
