In July, I got to photograph two busy, fun-loving little boys — Danny and Eben. We explored Townsend Park together in Rockford. One of my favorite things about kids is that they bring so much awe, curiosity, and passionate exploration to the everyday things that adults tend to mistakenly overlook as mere normalcy. No, when you're two, the world is captivating, amazing, and truly leaves you struck with wonder. Come explore with us through a Christmas-colored playground, a thrilling stream, and a deeply rooted old tree. :) [These are just the preview images, so I might have another post with these little guys soon!]
I had the joy of spending a June afternoon with these inspirational pro-life advocates who are young, persuasive, inquisitive, and courageous! They are Protect Life Michigan's 2023 summer interns, and they are the kind of people who search out a challenge and meet it with loving ferocity. These interns regularly hit the streets to engage people in discussion about abortion — it can be intimidating to talk about such a hot topic with a stranger, but these students have a passion to bring the violent killing of babies to a stop in Michigan. They inspire me.
