This week’s motivation was from a fun day with Kathryn. Everyone should take time to enjoy a day in the park with their children.

This week’s photograph is from DNOW weekend.

Each year Johnson Ferry Baptist Church has a DNOW weekend, which stands for Disciple Now. The teenagers of Johnson Ferry and their friends break into small groups with a college-aged group leader, they spent the weekend in a host home provided by volunteers families of the church. Over the weekend there are games, food and very little sleep. But the important thing is that the students  learned about Christ and how to follow Him in their daily life. The groups came together on Saturday for worship led by the awesome worship band, Unhindered. There were also group photographs; I forgot to mention that the groups dress up in costumes for Saturday during the worship service.

The photograph today is motivating because it was awesome to see the youth worshiping God and have a blast.

This week’s photograph is one of those time when I was just out playing around. Jamie and I were standing outside when I decided to flip the camera over like I was going to take a photo of us. Jamie said go ahead and take it. So I did and this how it turned out. Remember to take a little time to play and have fun.

This week’s photograph is from a recent family session. I love the reflection in the lake. I walked over to the other side of the lake to do  little location scouting, turned around to talk to Jamie and saw this awesome place to put the boys. Remember to always look around when out shooting, there might be a great scene just over your shoulder.

This week’s photograph is of a moth that I spotted while walked down the sidewalk. It made the Motivation Monday post for two reasons. First, it’s straight out of camera and Second it reminds me to slow down when out shooting. There are so many that might be missed if I’m rushing.
