Jalyn \\ An Overflow Session

It was a beautiful, breezy day when I ventured out for a photo session with my sweet friend Jalyn. I have always loved fresh open fields and old barns, but up to that point, I had never found a location like that I could use. I was taking the long way home one day when I stumbled across Luton Park's prairie entrance. It was definitely love at first sight; I pulled over right then. I had to experience the loveliness of it all for myself; as I walked down the trail, I thought about what a great fit this park would be for the most recent photo assignment I had received from the Overflow. The way the wind whipped past me... The green trees behind the dense, open fields; the perfection of the old red barn with a rustic, intriguing look.

A few days later, this lovely lady joined me in my prairie explorations! It was such a great day for the session; we had both been quite busy that day--Jalyn with a nursing school clinical, and me with load of homework--it was a peaceful walk. I was so thankful for a chance to catch up with this great friend; since we have met, Jalyn has blessed and encouraged me a thousand times over. Her love for Jesus and thoughtful, sweet personality leave everyone she's around feeling so uplifted. She'll be an amazing nurse!

Rebekah Birmingham: Snowy Harp Session

THE LOVELY REBEKAH BIRMINGHAM has been my harp teacher for over two years. During Christmas break, I drove into Lowell and captured this unique and exciting session in the 14 degree weather, with Bekah. People who know her are often drawn to her gentle, thoughtful spirit; Rebekah has a way of knowing what would be most fitting and encouraging in each comment she makes. Her life makes me think of this verse from Proverbs: 

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver" (25:11). 

As can be seen in these photos, she is radiant! Christ's love flows through her! 

Rebekah is currently pursuing a degree in harp therapy, and in addition to teaching music lessons, she also preforms for weddings and other events regularly. {Send me a message if you's like to contact Rebekah to preform for your event! She's spectacular!} 

"Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous; for praise is comely and upright. Praise the Lord with the harp; sing to Him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto Him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise. For the word of the Lord is right; and all His works are done in truth. He loves righteousness and judgment; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord... Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him." (Psalm 33:1-5, 8b).
