The other day I was able to capture some sweet pictures of my wife and daughter for a mini maternity session. My daughter Ella is so excited to be a big sister. She loves the idea that she can take care of something and “be responsible”. We are days from baby number #2 being here and I can’t wait to meet her and love her like only a daddy can do. Thank you Lord for a beautiful family!

I recently had the opportunity to photograph the Gates family. This photo story has been several bittersweet months in the making. As you may recall from my previous posts, Corby (aka Mama Gates) and her sister, Carrie both got to celebrate the birth of daughters within a year of each other. Unfortunately, shortly after giving birth to baby Elise, Carrie discovered she had ovarian cancer and tragically lost her battle with cancer in January of this year. As she had always wished, her sweet daughter Elise now became her sister’s child. And so the Gates family went from 3 to 4: Toby, Corby, Amia and Elise. God has knit this family together through tragedy for His glory and it is an honor to be a part of their journey.

We are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If grace is an ocean, we’re all sinking.
So Heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way:
He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Whoa! how He loves us,
Oh how He loves.
These lyrics gripped my heart the first time I heard them. It made me think about my relationship with Christ in a different light. The truth about us as humans is we are sinful and eternally separated from God. But the story doesn’t end there… God was patient with us. He gave us a chance to claim His son’s (Jesus’) death on the cross and repent (turn away from) of our sins (Romans 5:8, Romans 2:4). That happened for me 17 years when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. He cleansed of my sin (wrong doings) and made me right with God (1 John 1:9). Thank you Jesus for your patience with my sinful heart! Thank you for providing me with a way to have eternal life (John 3:16). I am also thankful that God has used the David Crowder Band over the past 11 years to remind me of His great truths! Fair well DCB and Godspeed!
