Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know you are near
And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me
As heard the lyrics of Matt Redman’s song, “You Never Let Go” (above lyrics) tonight I was editing the Orr family pictures. God reminded me that through all troubles in life He will walk through it with His children. Kevin, the Orr family father, deployed earlier this month for his 4th combat deployment since he enlisted in the Army National Guard 20 years ago. Kevin has served his country in Bosnia, The Gulf War, and Iraq. So with that in mind, this photo shoot was a bitter sweet moment for this family. On one hand they celebrated their family on the other they are said that their father and husband will be over seas for the next year. One thing is for sure God will see this family through in the highs and lows over the next year. Please pray with me for Kevin’s protect and peace for his family as he serves our country. Thank you Kevin for serving our country!

This past Friday was a crazy day for the Drury family. We closed on our new home and shot Miss Paisley’s newborn session Paisley Rae was born on August 14 to the proud parents, Joe and Kelli. Joe & Kelli are great friends of my family so this session was fun to shoot. Joe is a great artist/musician so we had fun putting our heads together to create some of the fun shots in the session. While we where working our daughters Ella (Tim’s) and Elle (Joe’s) played in Elle’s room. Our wives also enjoyed each other’s company during the session. All around this shoot was just a great way to celebrate all the new changes in both the McGill family and the Drury family. Thanks Joe and Kelli for using me for Paisley’s newborn photos. Enjoy the sneak peak!

Last Friday morning Sarah Jane, my wife & trusty assistant, and I drove over to Historic St. Charles, Missouri to meet our long time friends Joe and Kelli McGill. Kelli and I have been friends since we where two years old. We went to school and church together all the way through high school. Over the years we have watched out for each other and helped one another through incredibly hard times of life. We have also been able to celebrate life together through out the years. While we were in our early college years Joe and I were band mates and became great friends as well. My friendship with both Joe and Kelli became the link that brought the two of them together. They start dating and eventually got married. I was able to be in their wedding and both Joe and Kelli were in Sarah Jane and I’s wedding.
As you can see our lives run deep together. So when Kelli called me and ask me to shoot a family portrait I jumped on the opportunity. The McGill family is absolutely irreplaceable to me and my family. Our daughters, Elle and Ella, get to grow up together and hopefully they will have just as special relationship with each other as we do as parents.
The family session turned out so great I couldn’t settle on just a few photos, so I gave you my top ten from this session. Enjoy!
