Photographs and Reflections…featuring Casey!...

April 29, 2011
On Wednesday, I shared a couple of teaser photos from my “play date” on Tuesday evening with Casey of One Day at a Time. I thought you might be interested in seeing a few more of my favorites from our session. Casey may be my new favorite model…she is gorgeous (and she was kind enough to share one of her favorite places to photograph). Don’t you just love this RED DOOR?!

Warning…this is going to be a long post, but if you’d like – play the video while you read.This past weekend, we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ (aka EASTER)…the Christian Superbowl! I don’t know about you, but our service was absolutely incredible. Nationally known visual artist, Tom Clark, painted a unique 6’x8′ canvas during each of six services. I wish you could have seen it…amazing! Here’s a sample image from his website: I noticed one of four types of people at church this weekend: Those who were showing off their new...
