Happy MLK Day!

I love that we have today. It represents strife and pain but it also represents a turning of a new page. I am so thankful for certain people in history who could show the way and point towards what is right regardless of who is against them and at whatever the cost.

I told you a long time ago that I would take pictures of my house and show you my humble abode but I haven't done so yet because I wanted to have everything in place beforehand. But if I wait till then, you will never see my place. So here you go. The work-in-progress home of Rachelle and Frances. Our apartment is a junior apartment which is a cross between a studio and one room. So we have a "room" that has half walls and no door that open our room into the living room. But it works for us. So in my pictures I am not going to focus on our designated sleeping "room". Living Room: Taken a while ago. Taken just about 5 minutes ago.  We had plans of putting the books on a bookshelf but haven't gotten anything yet and in order to unpack my books finally from the boxes that were sitting next to the couch for forever I put them on the built-in ledge thing. We want to put like three large pillows next to the couch for extra seating. We like that the w...

I really do miss you. I have had so much to tell you about but then I let too much time go and then I have been backed up on things to share and don't know where to start.

So I guess I should just start somewhere and that somewhere is my travels to Haiti and my most favorite pictures I took during that time (minus ones I did for a photoshoot because that would spoil the work I plan to do with them). Then after Haiti photographs I can organically share whatever comes to mind fro...

It's safe to say that I have allowed too much time to pass since my last blog post and for that I apologize. I have spent the last 2 weeks in Haiti, flew to LA and less than 24 hours later flew to Kansas. Needless to say I don't care to see another airplane for quite some time! As per usual, I have downloaded my Haiti photos and am attaching some of my favorites here. Amonese taking a break from cooking in the Haitian kitchen. After praying for Tahl, I asked her if I could take her picture, she nodded and then lowered her face and placed her hand on her chest. Such a tender moment. Gibson standing outside of his house when we came to bring his family beans and rice. Momma holding baby while watching a basketball game. (I have a couple other views of this picture and had troubles deciding which to post here, so you may be seeing those later). This baby is the snuggliest, most mild tempered baby I have ever had the pleasure of holding. Plus she was mean ...
