What a special gift this gorgeous Haitian is to her new parents. We had the priviledge to photograph this new family after their 3 year wait to get their daughter from Haiti. Since she was a new adoption, we wanted to have fun with her and her family and show the bond that they were beginning to grow. What was most amazing was watching her dance. She had to much rythym and was dancing around like a professional Haitian Dancer! It was so neat, especially since her parents told me that she had never been exposed to dancing! Adoption is such an amazing experience and we just love to photograph these new relationships!

5 years ago Tommy and I went on a trip to Israel. It was so incredbile, being able to put the stories that we knew from the Bible into real life places. Some of my favorite photos are from the Garden Tomb and since it is Easter weekend I though it was a great time to post some photos that we took while there. There is the Hill that the cross was placed on (Golgatha, place of the Skull, where Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans, buried in a nearby tomb, and rose from the dead on Easter Sunday) ,some pictures of the tomb itself, the huge track the rock was rolled away from, the inside of the tomb (it’s believed Jesus was buried on the left) and a photo of Tommy and I in front of the empty tomb.

I hope you enjoy and if you’re not doing anything for Easter adn you’re in the Redding area, come join us at The Convention Center, Neighborhood Church has 3 services Easter Sunday. For More Information Visit www.NCRedding.com
