My First Photography Gig.....

My Church has an amazing website and does a great job of documenting each Sunday.  If for some reason you can't attend you can go to their website, hear the message, stay connected and see pics from the actual service.  So, they have volunteer photographers take pictures each week for their website.  One of their photographers saw some of my pics on facebook and asked if I would be interested in helping out as they perhaps needed an additional person to add to the rotation.  (I am not a photographer, but just love to take pics of my kids and have been learning all I can to get better pics) This is the second time I've taken pics for them, and taking photos there definitely presents some challenges.  Like, you are not allowed to use your flash! (Which, I generally try not to use my camera's flash anyways, but it can be quite dark in certain areas of the church and a flash would come in handy)  Argh!  But, it has forced me to learn more, so that is great!  I  still serve in the coffee bar once a month and really love it, but I will also take pics once a month as well.  Here are a few of my favorites-

You can see them all by clicking here by Monday February 8th.  (New pics are uploaded each week so mine will disappear after this week.)

Would you just look at how Alex is praying....  

Love that boy!

*horrible lighting- the lights were way down and remember the no flash rule......  But, it does the job of remembering this stage.  
I love how Alex prays with his entire body.
