life with luke.my job

all day long
and what a great job that is.

Everything if given to God
can become your gateway to joy.

shutter thoughts.memory

the last 19 years
would be a blur in my mind if it weren’t for the photographs that i have taken.
especially, the 365 projects that i have created.
this is my eighth year and i don’t think i will ever stop.
i don’t think i can.
when i take a look at a past photograph,
i can see and
hear and
smell
what was happening while i took that exact photograph.

you form a memory when you take a picture or are in a picture.
and how so very grateful i am for that.

salt in my coffee (honest reflections).in the quiet

he meets us there.
in the quiet.
in the silence.
in the quiet of our hearts.
without distraction and noise.
He is there.
just waiting.
waiting for you and me to come.
and He gives rest to our weary souls.
when we come.
in silence.
without distraction to Him.
He reveals Himself.
deep in our souls.
we know that He is there.

that is all.sunshine girl

it is beyond
an honor and a privilege to be her mother
and
to take her senior portraits.

the sun came out for our session.
for our sunshine girl.
and she’s still that same bright and shining and wild girl
as she was when she was four years old.

that is all.white noise

the ping-pongy thoughts have turned into white noise.
and it’s absolutely lovely.
