BOB'S STORY

37 years ago, Bob was in a terrible car accident one week into his year-long mission in Lagos, Nigeria. The accident left him a quadriplegic. This is a story of his grief and perseverance.

To the right Bob is pictured with his beautiful family. This photo was taken at his daughters wedding in 2017.

My favorite thing Bob says -  "Sometimes we do need to weep, sometimes we do need to grieve, sometimes just the guttural part of us has to come out as part of our healing. There has been many times when I cried...there have been many times where my heart has hurt. But then the sun always comes out...and I find ways to move forward."

Rich + Kaylyn

Their original plan was to elope but in the end they wanted friends, family, and a party.  Wanting to keep a level of intimacy, I suggested Rich and Kaylyn exchange vows privately during the first look! It was the perfect compromise and added so much personality to their film!

You may recognize this couple from their styled shoot turned proposal video I did in the Salt Plains - check it out here!

Rise Up

The Nawuri Chief shares his story of how the translation of the Bible into their mother-tongue counted his tribe among the children of God. Before he felt unknown by God, because he didn't not speak his language.  This video was produced in part to share with the people of Ghana to gain support for translation efforts throughout the country. 

This was such a privilege to capture and I am forever changed by the moments I shared with this man!
