fotos by michelle: St. James - Girls Night Out!

Last Friday the St. James W.O.W. ministry (Women of Worship) hosted a Girl's Night Out for all the ladies at the church.  It was a fun night of getting to know new people, and encouraging each other, and growing.  A special thanks to our First Lady Jacinda for always having the vision, and all of the ladies who helped her to put it all together.  It was a huge blessing as always, and I think everyone left feeling stronger, and encouraged.  Here is a preview, and the entire album should be posted under "Client Viewing" on the website soon! About me. . . Well, I grew up first in Panama City Florida, then Northwest Arkansas, where I am located now, loving the sunshine and all things outdoors. I had a strong curiosity about physics, architecture, and rocks. I began loving to build tables and birdhouses with my dad, plant gardens, go swimming, go fishing and dig in the dirt. What kind of career does someone like this choose? Civil Engineering of course! I began building roads, sewer systems, and learning politics… For someone like me, this just wasn’t enough. I needed something to go with the concrete side of me so I picked up a camera and have never put it down. I still practice engineering, as this slow economy will allow, but I also consider myself a photography as well. Nature photography was my first passion, but I soon started to love photographing people in a photojournalism style.
