Living in an area known as the “bible belt” you hear the word ‘Christian” thrown around a lot. There are probably a good majority of people in the area that would label themselves as a Christian. Sadly for many it never goes past the label and into an actual lifestyle. It may be one of those things that is hard to identify within our self but boy does it hit you in the face when you see it acted out in everyday life of individuals. You think to yourself “man, now THAT is a Christian” or “boy, does that person have something different inside them than me” or “wow, that person is going above and beyond anything she/he has to be doing”. We know it when we see it but lots of times it just stops there.
Meet my dear friends Darren and Lindsey Smitherman, tomorrow they are embarking on a 6 month journey around the United States (and some of Canada) to find out what God is doing in the lives of people. People who go beyond the label of “Christian” and take into the lives of everyone around them through love. They will document their travels through video and photographs which will then hopefully transition into a wonderful book. They will be embracing the beauty of God’s creation with there cute little dog Gabby and they will be doing it in a stylish VW Minibus named Lulu.
You can follow their adventures by visiting their website: On the Good Road. They aren’t asking for any donations to fund their trip but you can donate money to buy them a cup of coffee. You can see the route they plan to take on their website and e-mail/call them if you know of any great organizations, people, places they HAVE to meet and see. If you are outside of Texas and reading this blog and are the type of people who love having a couple of strangers and their dog over to crash on your couch, they would LOVE to be those strangers. Go visit their blog and show them some love.
I met up with Darren, Lindsey, Gabby, and Lulu yesterday to wish them my best and I brought my camera along for a little mini-session. Here are my favorite images, make sure you click the link at the bottom to see all the pictures!

I had the pleasure of shooting Arlene’s and Zeke’s wedding this past weekend and now it is time to share her bridals with everyone. We had our session at her parent’s home in Kaufman so we just walked around the home and the property and found some great places for our session. Here are some of my favorites from the session. Enjoy!

It is time that I can finally share this bridal session I have been holding onto for awhile now! Casey got married to Phillip this past Saturday and although I was not able to shoot their wedding I was so honored that I had the privilege of shooting her bridal session. We had our session out in a park in the Highland Park area of Dallas, it was a beautiful day and we found some great locations to shoot. Enjoy some of my favorite images from our time together. Congrats to Phillip and Casey Cole!
