Photograper's Prayer

Oh God, as I bring my subject into focus and prepare to make each portrait, never let me forget that I’m creating treasures for some family, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others, that I may draw out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts.

Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the gentleness, the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographer’s art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable.

And, dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs and the rolling years, keep me from getting out of focus or off center, so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment …

Spring/Summer Purple Turtle Models

Please check out the Purple Turtle page for all the models that we used this season. I think they are so adorable, I love all the spring colors that we could find.


If you are interested in your child becoming a model, please contact me or Karen at the Purple Turtle. We are looking for natural looks, not pagent looks. This isnt' a beauty contest, we are on the look out for new faces to adorn the walls :)


I will meet with all of you in July, we will pick the kids and contact you if your child has been chosen. We are also planning on adding another wall to our gallery, so we have plenty of room for our previous models as well as the new ones.


Have a great week everyone. Thanks for taking a peek at my work.

Sorry folks!!!! I know I haven't updated this in FOREVER, please forgive me. Life as been super duper busy for me, but the blessing just keep coming, for that I am very thankful. For those who don't know, I have a gallery of my work at the Purple Turtle in Gallipolis. Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer I will be changing the pictures, as the clothing season changes. I have enjoyed working with Karen at the Purple Turtle so much!! Stop in and see my work and say "Howdy" to the girls there.
