The White Family

We took some pictures of the White family for their Christmas cards. They were such a fun group of girls (+ 1 husband) to work with!

They wanted to incorporate a quilt that was important to their family!

Photo Friday #29 & #30

Baby time! A couple months ago, we were going to have dinner with our friends the Rose family. A couple hours before dinner we all decided that it would be great to have an impromptu infant session with their newborn. She is such a cutie. So to make up for being a week late with photo Friday, here are 3 of my favorites from the shoot. I’ll post more on my flickr when I get a chance…actually I haven’t been good about posting any of our photography stuff on here. We’re working on a new blog actually so when we get that up and running we’ll probably put more of the photo stuff on there. 

So here’s a family photo with everyone (she wasn’t too happy about this one):

Here she is when she had woken up for a bit, such a pretty little girl:

And the token baby’s feet in daddy’s hands… the toes are so little!!

Well, enjoy and if you’re looking for baby photography or families, portraits, etc…, we’re doing that now along with our video business so send people our way!

The Purple Palace

Well, we have been horrible bloggers! (not that I ever promised anything, but still) We’ve been so busy with work and then our video business and we’ve definitely given more love to the SidebySide Video blog.

 

Anyway…here’s a little of what’s been going on. Along with working with the Post-College group at church, now called The Gathering, we’ve started working on a new ministry which is called JaMM (justice and mercy ministry). We’re working on trying to find ways that our church can partner with other ministries that are already in place regarding human trafficking, sex trafficking, orphans, widows, etc…

We got to go down with some others yesterday to Mexico to check out The Purple Palace. It’s a safe place where children of prostitutes and drug addicts can go to live. Some of these kids have had horrible things happen to them and this is a second chance for them. They get to live there with food and clothing, go to school and learn about Jesus. It’s pretty awesome. The other great thing about it is that it’s in Tijuana maybe 5 minutes walking distance from the border. So there could be tons of quick little service projects that small groups could go down there for. These kids need to be shown the right kind of love and so we’re excited to see what we can do! Here are some pictures we shot yesterday:
