MAP playdate

On April 4 my MAP group met at a park in Riverside. The Riverside police department came out to talk to us about child safety and share their squad car with the kids. It was a lot of fun and educational.

Fun with Logan and Pam

Im part of a photography small group that meets twice a month to discuss God and photography. Last week we had a very fun couple model for us. It was fun to play around with camera settings and capture the high energy of this couple. Thank you Pam and Logan!!

Sandals Family Dedication

The last Sandals Family Dedication took place on February 24. The purpose of dedicating your child is an opportunity as a parent to commit yourself to the task of raising your children in a Christian home. The dedication service provides parents with the opportunity of publicly making this commitment before God, family and friends. After the service the families involved are invited to have brunch given by the church. I was asked to photograph this event since my MAP group was sponsoring the dedication brunch.

Just for fun. . .

Snowday with MAP

The moms group from Sandals has a fieldtrip and playdate each month. In February we went up to a cabin in Green Valley Lake and spent the day sledding and playing in the snow. Here are a few of my favorite pics of the day.

Sandals Baptism

I attend a church in Riverside called Sandals. It is an awesome church. Sandals is about being real with yourself, others and God. One way of showing your commitment to Christ is through Baptism. On February 17 I was invited to take shoot the Baptism. Here are some of my favorite shots of the afternoon.



That morning was also the end of the "Get in the game" series. It was a great series about getting involved and off the sidelines of life. Getting involved the way Christ was involved with people. This last Sunday of the series was a time for all the small groups at Sandals to show off our spirit. Here are a couple pictures from the morning and some of the moms in my MAP - Moms with A Purpose - relational group.
