We're getting a couple of bunnies to spend a few weeks with us and help us with "Bunny Sessions" at the studio. They'll be here until Easter weekend - March 22. Much thanks to Pet Lovers Pet Store in Mustang for helping us with the bunnies and the supplies to take care of them while they're here. Please check out Pet Lovers for your pet needs. They've got all kinds of pets and the supplies for them, from fish to reptiles, to rodents, to rabbits, to kittens. (With all the super stores around with various specialties, it's getting hard to find individually owned stores of any kind anymore. When you find one, support them. Owners of "mom & pop" stores are usually very passionate about what they do, and very knowledgeable. You won't find that in the super stores or discount stores! But, I digress.) Visit Pet Lovers; I think you'll like it. They are about to relocate to a larger store on Hwy 152, just west of Mustang Rd.
We are offering $25 children's sessions while the bunnies are here - that's half off our regular children's session price. We will create some beautiful children's portraits, and finish the session with some portraits with the bunnies. We're offering a special package of 1 8x10, 2 5x7s and 8 wallets for just $149, and all our regular portrait collections are 20% off on any children's sessions photographed by March 22. Orders must be placed by April 18, 2008.
If you would like more information about specials for children, families or high school seniors, call us at 392-3929, or use the contact form on our website: www.carrportraitart.com/contact.php

Class of 2009
Big priority right now is finding a few more ambassadors for Class of 2009! We need to begin photographing our ambassadors soon. This is an exciting new ambassador program that will be a lot of fun for you and your friends. And, it will reward you with some great photographs!
We have several ambassadors hired, but still need at least one more ambassador for most area schools - for some larger schools we could use two more.
If you're a junior this year, and are active in your school, please call us right away at 392-3929! We'd love to talk with you. More details of the program are available on our website - www.carrportraitart.com; and we'll fill in even more when you call.
Don't miss out on this cool opportunity!!

29 + 11
It's December 1st, Trish and I are one month away from our 30th anniversary. God has been so good to us. We don't have a financial fortune, but I am the richest man in town. I love my wife. We have a fantastic relationship. Her Aunt Peggy told us before we got married: "Never be angry at the same time." We've lived by that through the years. We're not perfect. We have been angry at the same time, but the application of that advice is that we don't express that anger at the same time. We give each other time to deal with our feelings. We work through our differences rather than fight, yell and insult. Not fighting doesn't mean we never disagree. We just don't fight about it.
We have 4 wonderful children, all married now, and 6 grandchildren. They're not perfect either, but they all know the Lord Jesus, and are doing their best to serve and follow Him. I couldn't ask for more.
Our 3 yr old granddaughter Eva was here yesterday evening, and found a folio of some of our favorite family pictures. She was going through them trying to figure out who everyone was. Many of them were of our children when they were toddlers and infants. She guessed most of them to be her cousins, and didn't realize she was looking at her daddy, Aunt Elise, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Tim. Going through them with her brought back a lot of good memories.
Pictures are a wonderful way to preserve our memories and to give us time to reflect on them. That's why I'm a photographer. I love capturing moments and memories for my own family and for others as well. I hope as my clients look back on their photographs, they have the same kind of fond memories and pleasant moments of reflection.

Purpose
I believe God has a purpose for each of our lives. That purpose, ultimately, is that we be in relationship with Him, and that we grow in that relationship - to love Him more passionately, and to become more Christ-like. Beyond that, I couldn't say for certain that He has a specific career chosen for each of us. But, I do know that He uses our careers, and wants us in a career, that will facilitate His purpose of drawing us into a deeper relationship with Him, and helping others to enter into that kind of relationship as well.
For me, that career is photography. When I started turning this hobby into a career, I did so with much prayer. One day, still seeking confirmation of His leading, and seeking to understand how photography fit into the sense of "calling" I felt in my life, I prayed, "Lord, Why photography?" He reminded me of my trip to Africa a couple of years before, and the lessons I learned there about His compassion for the multitudes. He reminded me of the multitudes of faces I saw there anytime we set up in a village or marketplace to preach. I had never seen crowds gather like that here. He showed me that day that photography was a way of putting faces on the multitudes. I may never see crowds gather in America like I did in Africa - 100's to even 1,000's of people spontaneously gathering at a time just to stand and hear the gospel preached. But I would see a multitude of people in front of my camera, and each one was just like me - they would each have needs, for which I could pray, and which Christ could meet.
