<br />
Canoeing with her family down the river. Turtles, wild rice, dangling feet into the water. Making dinner. Swimming at sunset.<br />
<br />
Sleeping in late. Gorgeous mornings. The lake a rich deep shade of blue. Stand up paddle boarding around the island. Making Belgium waffles for lunch while Taylor Swift plays in the background. Floating on the lake. Reading. The sky turning grey and heading back inside for more reading and napping.<br />
<br />
Roadtrips where miles pass in content silence and conversations that span the breadth and depth of life and God and photography businesses. Interjections of 'Wait, I like this song, turn it up!' Stops for coffee and all the gorgeous views.<br />
<br />
These are just a few of the memories I have from this last trip to visit this lady. So thankful her! We traded ten minute portait sessions before I left. Come visit soon Kelley!<br />

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As I was preparing to photograph the father/child course for
Summit Adventure, I was getting excited to come along side and support people
doing brave things. Any trip with Summit Adventure has a common thread of
pushing people out their comfort zones to grow in relationship with God and
other people. On the father/ child course that might look like climbing to the
top of a 150 ft rock face or it might look like taking time to have an honest,
vulnerable conversation with your dad or child. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">On this particular course, it was at one of the rappel sites that
I learned about bravery. The second group of the day had made it to the top of
the site. One of the participants was nervous about the rappel. It had been a
challenge for him face a fear of heights to climb to the top of the site, and
now there was a 200 foot rappel waiting for him. As he prepared to rappel, the
atmosphere changed. The typical nervous joking of participants died down and
there was tension in the air as his anxiety built.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">I made my way over to a ledge fifty feet away where I could
take photos of the father and son as they rappelled. It was a solemn thing to
witness. He was struggling fiercely with fear. He knew what he had to do and no
amount of advice or encouragement from anyone was making it easier. It was a
slow raw battle to reach the ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">As I watched, I knew there where areas in my life where I
react the same way. I see other people glide down rappels full of trust and
even joy and I come to God kicking and screaming and crying, begging if there
is any other way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

close friends. I work a steady 9-5 job with a small photography business on the
side. I am confident God brought me here. I see Him teaching me things. But
it’s hard. I don’t have family to go home to in the evening. I don’t tell
stories of watching peoples’ lives being changed like friends working at
various non-profits. I don’t travel the world climbing mountains or taking
photos like I see other friends doing. Life is that simple but hard cliché of
being faithful in the mundane things. It’s not glamorous. It’s a struggle. I
fight fears and lies of wasting my life, of not being valuable. There have been
many nights of asking God if He has forgotten me, left me hanging on this
rappel. He hasn’t. He stays with me through the frustration. He waits out the
internal kicking and screaming till I’m finally still enough to listen to His
voice and let it overcome my fears.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

to your core. But I hope you’re willing to go into the fight with fear and face
it. I hope you are willing to keep inching your way down the rope till you
reach the ground. I hope you live your life bravely. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>Life:</strong><br />
A couple of weeks ago, I moved to Oakhurst to start a Marketing Internship with <a href="http://www.summitadventure.com/" target="_blank">Summit Adventure</a>.<br />
<br />
Based in Bass Lake, Summit Adventure leads backpacking, climbing, mountaineering, and service trips all over the world. Their mission is “to facilitate transformational learning that strengthens relationships, deepens faith, and builds compassion through Christ centered outdoor adventures, service, and experiential education.” <br />
<br />
I’m stoked to have the chance to work with and learn from them! It’s only been a couple of weeks, and it’s already been amazing.
<br />
<br />
<strong>Business:</strong>
<br />
I’m still just as passionate about photography. I still love to take senior photos. I still adore shooting engagements. I still get excited about weddings.
<br />
<br />
And I am available to do these things, whether you’re in southern California or the Oakhurst/Fresno area. (I also still think road trips are one of the best things ever.) This photography business has not been put on the backburner. In fact, I now have the opportunity to learn how to grow it.
<br />
<br />
I’m here to serve you in that area. <br />
<br />
So call me maybe? <br />

Beach trip! Race to car after closing at work, hop in and drive, drive, drive. Highways normally clogged with congestion have parted in the middle of the night. I follow them out of the desert to a campsite on rugged sandy cliffs above the Pacific. <br />

Driving up winding mountain roads while the sky is still a sleepy grey, summer breeze with a tinge of briskness to it, bird songs and laughter cutting the air. The best part saved for last: sun rays finally pouring over the ridge and dripping across the field. <br />

“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done…" -CSLewis<br />

Places like Mono Lake remind me God is good, he's trustworthy, and He's all about the details. You should go one day.<br />

Phone calls, emails, and plane tickets. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BradeeKayPhotography" target="_blank">Bradee</a> invited me to be her second photographer for a wedding. So the last weekend in August we flew to Iowa. Bradee met Ashley while they both worked at a summer camp, and they've been friends since. <br />
<br />
David and Ashley's wedding was lovely. And they were such gracious hosts during the weekend. Thanks so much for letting me be there!<br />

Almost two months ago, my friend Kelley and I were camping in Big Sur. Already a few days into a road trip and tired from attempting to hike/ bushwhack our way up Mount Manuel earlier in the day, we decided no more canned soup for dinner. We drove up to Monterey and found a restaurant with a view of the bay and the most amazing garlic butter I've ever had. Seriously, I think I ate at least half a loaf bread drenched in butter. <br />
<br />
We wondered down to the beach after dinner. Barefoot with jackets to cut the wind, we watched the surfers make the most of evening. The clouds rolled in over the city. The light took on an ethereal quality that you couldn't pin to a particular time of day. <br />
<br />
I miss you, Monterey. <br />

Who rises up for me against evil doers?...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unless the Lord had been my help,</div>

My soul would have settled into silence.</div>

Your comforts delight my soul.</div>

<br />
Dude.<br />
<br />
Some mornings start off with spilling coffee all over yourself. Some days I have to sell backpacks instead of going backpacking or using my camera. Some mornings are just not what I had in mind.<br />
<br />
He's all good though. Don't lose hope. Shove the distractions away. It's worth the fight. Calm down soul. Press on toward the prize. Stay steady. Don't fret.<br />
<br />
Trust in the Lord, and do good;<br />
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.<br />

If February had been a photo, I think it would look like these. Barren and waiting for the new life like the aspens, yet faithful and steady like the evergreens. Like ice melting into still waters, hard pieces of the heart are slowly, almost imperceptibly, softened to mirror His heart. And surrounded tall granite walls always pulling and urging me Further Up and Further In. <br />

1. <em>"The mountians are calling, and I must go."</em> Roadtripping to Yosemite tomorrow. #stoked<br />
<br />
2. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/events/518579484840031/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Art in the Alley</a> is happening 3-3-13, Sunday, 12-5pm in the alley next to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/#!/augiescoffeehouse?fref=ts" target="_blank">Augie's Coffee House</a>. I'll be there showing my work along with over thirty other artists. And I'll have stories to tell you about Yosemite. #SupportLocalArtists<br />
<br />
3. I could listen to this song all day. In fact, I'm probably going to. That's what roadtrips are for, right? <br />
