Wacky Williams : Bible Tenters

 Our kids LOVE Bible stories... Lex has a children's Bible that he's been having us read a story a night and the whole book is almost done!  They also, (oddly) enjoy just us reading from the NIV.... sometimes I wonder if I should make some of the stories 'age appropriate' though.... They enjoy some of the most gory and graphic stories.  I found a picture that inspired me to create this one... of the kids staying up late with their flash lights to read 'JUST ONE MORE STORY'.... I thought it was so cute.  So, here they are... the late night Bible Reading tenters :)  LOVE THEM!

Matt & Heather : 2.27.2016

Matt & Heather are MARRIED!!!!  What an exciting day it was!  It turned out to be beautiful weather, (for February in Michigan) and loads of supportive friends and family were by their sides through out the day.

 The New Salem Corn Maze bus drove them around to downtown Holland, where we had a cold, but quick start to photos, and then back to Bentheim for their ceremony.  It was a special service, lead by Dan Seaborn.  I love how he can so creatively personalize his talk to each Bride and Groom.  This was a one of a kind service, filled with tears and laughter.

After the service we had a great time at the reception at the Trestle Stop in Hamilton.... I got to experience my first PIE smashing for the groom.... yes, not Cake... well, he got that too... but then he got a pie.... twice!  He was such a great sport about it! (and Heather was too!!!! She got pie all in her hair!)   I was lucky to find a photography friend from church at the wedding, and she helped me photograph the bouquet and garter tosses, since they always go so fast!  LOL!  (thanks Katie!)  

All in all, it was a beautiful day, filled with respect and honor for our Lord, and that makes a wedding day what it's meant to be.  Congrats Matt and Heather!  May God bless your marriage, and grow your love for each other every day!

Wacky Williams : Guitar Jail

Daddy's been playing guitar now quite a bit for our church band, (which actually is a pretty big accomplishment.... it's a big church, and he actually had to audition, to volunteer in the band....LOL!) and I know it takes a lot of time away from the family, but yet, David is totally passionate about worship, and volunteer.... So, it's a great fit!  I thought that this was a bit fitting and fun.... Maybe a little crazy, but where else can you safely put your children behind bars!  :)  LOL!  Enjoy my Wacky Williams!

Wacky Williams : Rooted

My inspiration for Wacky Williams comes from little tidbits and pieces from anything I see or hear.... 

Recently, our pastor talked about how our weekly diet of church just won't be enough for our faith to grow... we need to invest daily into being ROOTED IN THE BIBLE.  This image popped into my head, so we shot it that afternoon.   I think I'll get this framed in my house to remember to always invest in some Bible time every day... it really DOES make a difference!  It's the manual to the human life... The glimpses of Hope God gives us when things feel heavy.... The double-edge sword that keeps us in line.... The comfort that God is a loving a Good good father... The reminder that when things are discouraging or rough, that there is another player in the spiritual warfare (Satan) who can be blamed...   Check it out sometime.... daily!!!  :)   Enjoy!

Ridge Point Father Daughter Dance 2016

What a blast!  Daddy's and Daughters investing in time valuing each other.... I'm not sure how many years I've photographed this event, but it's probably year 5 or 6, and it's always such a great experience!  This year, I had a young assistant help out... (Thanks Megan!) It's always a rush to get as many couples photographed in 1 short hour... I'm always amazed how God can either stretch time, or make me shoot faster.... (Hey, He did make the sun stand still once, so this certainly isn't outside His limits!)  I think we were able to do just over 100 couples in that hour.... that's like 30 seconds a couple!    Check out all the photos and download to print them HERE!
