Candie is a sweet spirit with lots of play and I feel we captured that in her bridal session where she will say her vows in just a few weeks. We had lots of fun exploring what we could get into in the beautiful nature surrounding the North Georgia mountains at a retreat center called Camp Pinnacle, where she's served as a girl's counselor for many years. This time, she returns as a bride ready to say I do to her man Jesse. We didn't plan on a night shoot, but we had so much fun and lost track of time – we had no lights with us, so we got creative and used the soft lights shining from the golf cart headlights to shine on her for the remaining shots. This gave the last portion of Candie's session a nice mood and ambience to the intimate setting with her at the cross where they will be married. I can't wait to be a part of their wedding - they have such significant and personal touches planned - and all to honor God.

I have the honor to work next to some wonderful people at the Missions and Ministry Center - people who care about their city and communities. We had numerous volunteers pack up their lunches and hit the streets inside the perimeter of Atlanta a couple weeks ago to pray for the communities in the area and most importantly the people there. A day out of the office was refreshing - whether behind a desk or on the field, ministry takes place and hearts are being touched. Here are some of the experiences from the group I joined.
