Molly + Rich

We always enjoy meeting new people and giving our clients a little taste of Eastern North Carolina. Molly and Rich are both from 'up north' so we took some time to introduce them to the beauty we enjoy here in the south. This couple was fun and we really enjoyed getting to hear their story as we spent time with them. Rich has served in the military for seven years and even did two tours in Iraq. I'm so thankful for the men and women who willingly defend our country. Molly is full of laughs and she is going to make a wonderful school teacher and wife. They are getting married next July and I'm sure it will be a beautiful wedding. Molly & Rich both seemed very in love, as you will see below.

This takes me back into the history books . . . very classic.

My favorite from the whole session.

I love the sun flare in this one.

Okay, another favorite.

Molly & Rich, we had a blast with you guys. Thanks for choosing us to capture this sweet time in your lives. You guys are great - have fun this next year as you plan. Molly, we're glad you're a Pirate now. We hope to see you around town or even at a Pirate Football game this fall!

NC Plant

My church, Integrity Church, recently hosted an excellent conference, called 'Vital', at the Greenville Convention Center for Plant NC which is a network committed to planting more churches in North Carolina, to provide support, training, and resources for pastors and leaders. NC Plant is led by Will Plitt and their vision is to plant 30 new churches in the next three years. They asked me to take a few photos for them and I was happy to support anything like that. I fully support the need for healthy churches in North Carolina, especially east of Interstate 95. It was an excellent conference packed with wonderful content that pastors could really benefit from. They heard from Alvin Reid who is professor of Evangelism and founding Baily Smith Chair of Evangelism at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Winfield Bevins who is the pastor of the Church of the Outer Banks. In addition, everyone enjoyed some worship music led by former professional surfer and excellent singer/songwriter Jesse Hines as well as great vendors who could address specific needs for new churches. It was great to have people there like Send RDU, Plantboxx, and sixty1.org. To close everything out they had a panel of guys including Winfield Bevins, Mike McDaniel from Send RDU, Jonathan Aikn from Highview Baptist Church in Louisville, KY, and a gentleman from the SBC. I was happy to attend and these were just a few of the shots I liked from the conference.

The panel.

Everybody soaking it in.

A Big thank-you to Will Plitt for letting me come and enjoy the conference and his patience with me as I took way longer than I should have to get these photos to Him. I'm encouraged by this ministry. I look forward to seeing Integrity Church be part of planting 30 churches and joining with you in that vision. May God continue to bless your efforts.
