Never Would’ve Made It

June 21, 2009

Today we had an awesome Father’s Day program at our church. We have a group of young men who do mime praise dancing and they performed to Never Would Have Made It by Marvin Sapp. If you are familar with gospel music then you know this song.

This week was so draining… emotionally… and it was HOT too. It was mixed with joy with the birth of babies… and sadness of young life tragically lost. I sometimes get frustrated with the fact that I am so emotional. Especially since I am not the most affectionate of persons, and those two normally go hand and hand.  However, I believe this ability God has given me to feel deeply for other people is His way of fulling  Romans 12:15 in my life.  And as I have gotten older I”ve come to see the blessing in not only rejoicing with those who rejoice, but also in being able to mourn with those who mourn.  

Here are a few pictures from today’s praise dance. I wish I had a video of it because it really blessed my spirit and I know it would yours too… However hopefully these pics are enough.

Tell the ones you love you love them, you never know when it’ll be your last chance. Oh. And Happy Father’s Day Daddy! Love ya!

 

Sylvia Borgo: Yes, a video would be fabulous, but your great images are a very close second. :)

Jé: They do such a good job! And I think the oldest one is 20. One day I will have to add a video. Just for you!

Senior Session: Jalysa

June 11, 2009

I know I know… call me the delinquent blogger. It has been over a month since my last journal entry and I have no other excuse other than life and laziness getting the best of me. Needless to say I have been doing a lot of shooting in the last month so I have a lot of entries to add over the next few days.

This entry is of Ms. Jalysa, who is now officially a high school graduate. Woo hoo!!! You go girl. These photos were taken in downtown San Antonio which I have recently come to fall in love with. And I loved all the color especially in the first two. I have known Jalysa for many many years so it was a lot of fun shooting these and hopefully we can get out & shoot again. Maybe with that bad prom dress she kept telling me about. lol

Well enough of the chattiness and on to the photos. I have a favorite. Can you tell which one it is?!

Katherine: LOVE all the color!! The last one is my favorite.

Jé: The last one is my favorite too! Thanks guys!

Richelle Dante: These are great! I love, love, love all the color!

Rita: Ditto on the colour! Loving the orange/blue combination. My fav is the last shot. Love her content expression, yet deep down you can see she is proud that she graduated. It's the modest "I did it!" look.

Sylvia Borgo: She is a beauty! Your work is always such a pleasure and inspiration! :)
