Love Verses

February 13, 2015

I did this for me and thought I might as well share.

My favorite love verses in one place.

1 John 4:7-8
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

Romans 12:9-10
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.

1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Mark 12:30
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

1 Corinthians 13:4-13
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

All are New International Version.

Love Verse

Staying with the Non-Commercial meaning of love… 🙂 Here are service projects if you are near Smyrna, Georgia: Your whole family can participate on Valentine’s day and show love to others. Meet at Smyrna First United Methodist on Concord Road at 10AM for a continental breakfast and then break out to the following places for a day of service (your choice):

Seven Bridges Ministry, Fitzhugh Lee School, Woodland Ridge Assisted Living, Gardens of Smyrna Memory Care Facility, and Friends of Refugees. Services vary from Bingo with Assisted living residents to clean up of flower beds and pizza parties.

My family will be split up among Fitzhugh Lee, The Gardens and Friends of Refugees.

High School Senior Graduates | Our Town Magazine

June 9, 2014

I had a great time hanging out with this group of Senior Graduates. I was shooting the cover for this month’s issue of Our Town Magazine and we were ready to celebrate the beginning of summer and being out of high school forever. Hanging out by the pool seemed like the perfect spot. These Seniors have grown up in the Smyrna, Mableton or the Powder Springs area and started off together as preschool and early elementary students. And now look at them all grown up about to go off on their own. Here are some favorite pictures of our time together.

Congratulations to the Class of 2014 (and War Eagle, Nick!) I can’t wait to see all they accomplish at college.

Merry Christmas to You!

December 24, 2013

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. –Luke 2:14

I hope Santa is good to you and yours! Come see my three tonight at the family Christmas Eve service at 5PM at Smyrna First United Methodist Church on Concord Road. It will be full of children and no one will notice yours being loud! 🙂 It is a great place to get hearts and minds in the right place to celebrate the true meaning of the season. Fingers crossed that the Angel, Wiseman and Joseph don’t get stage fright!

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Lastly, thanks to all of you that have supported me in my business. 2014 is already starting off very busy for me and I am so excited and thankful for that!

Merry Christmas!

How to Have Fun in Smyrna

September 16, 2013

How do you have fun in Smyrna? That is simple! You take a 2 year old to run and play and it doesn’t hurt having her extra fun dad full of tickles and throws in the air just for her. She laughed so hard her eyes were shut tight – the best kind of laugh! You will see things in a new way with a toddler. It is a lot more exciting to find flowers or see ducks and turtles through the eyes of a little one. This little girl is precious and full of fun. Hard to believe she will be a big sister soon!

Thanks for making my afternoon in Smyrna lots of fun, sweet girl!

Off to College | Smyrna Senior Photographer

August 26, 2013

College Bound

Another one of my Seniors is off to college now. I was so happy to be able to get that last family portrait before he left to start a new chapter in his life. I feel for the Moms sending off their boys. I can’t image how hard that will be for me. Luckily he isn’t too far away but I know their home is feeling a little empty right now. The future is bright for him so I am excited to see what is ahead for both of these boys!

The Light was lovely on this day in Smyrna! I am so happy to be this family’s photographer – they are so genuinely kind and fun to be around.

As a bonus we were able to also capture updated pictures to mark 8th grade and the end of Middle School which is also a really special and exciting time. Lots of milestones happening in this family!
