#10 Help me earn a Scholarship for my Trip to Ecuador
March 2014: The year 2014 began with much anticipation - mostly in regards to taking a mission trip outside the USA. After making application and being accepted, I entered the photo contest in hopes of earning a scholarship towards my trip. SO many people helped me out with votes and some went to great lengths in recruiting more votes - I was overwhelmed by your support! And we did it - we got first place..... such an exciting day!
#9 Ecuador 2015
October 2014: Yet another photo contest is the subject of post #9 on the top ten. Looking to return to Ecuador next year (2015) I hoped to earn a scholarship with this photo I took in Ecuador, but found this contest to be much stiffer competition than the first. :) However, there were so many sweet comments left and much support here as well. You guys are awesome!
#8 Event Photography: Passion4Christ 2014
November 2014: In October I covered the Passion4Christ conference in Perrysville, Ohio. It was awesome to capture moments from this great conference, as well as renewing friendships from a year ago, catching up with my teammates from Ecuador and meeting new people. Great Memories.
#7 Our House - Before & After
February 2014: After more than two years of remodeling (and living in "temporary quarters" in the meantime) we'd finally moved into our house! This was a particularly popular post as so many of you had watched/known of our journey from the beginning. It was so nice to finally be settled in our own home.
#6 High Places - Stories from Ecuador
September 2014: Recounting my trip to Ecuador proved more difficult than I'd imagined. It is so hard to try and summarize three weeks of work, new places, feelings & emotions, sights and sounds. Focusing on God's Hand throughout it all brought clarity and praise to my heart. He is mighty and true - the same yesterday, today and forever.
#5 25 Days Out
June 2014: Ecuador makes up a lot of my most popular blogs for the year. :) This one was posted just 25 days before I would find myself in the picture to the right. A quick update for my supporters and a list of items I was preparing for my trip.
#4 Preview: Rachel & Abel
September 2014: Weddings always generate a lot of interest on the blog, and this one was no exception. Stunning couple with an awesome location made for beautiful portraits. I loved working with this couple.
#3 Portraits: Alex
January 2014: My cousin Alex proved to be very popular on the blog ...... and no wonder. This picture is gorgeous - just love her look. I enjoyed being able to take her pictures as well as her brother's senior pictures and her family's portraits. Love you guys!
#2 Aaron & Joyce - Congratulations!
August 2014: After first meeting in October 2013, and then "keeping company" for roughly 8 months, my brother and his fiancée got engaged. We were so excited and happy! And yes, I'll be shooting their wedding - can't wait.
#1 Abel & Rachel - Sunset Wedding
October 2014: For the second year in a row, a wedding tops our Blog Review. This sunset wedding was truly a beautiful affair. I made new friends in Abel & Rachel and their families. This couple's story is so sweet and unique and their love for each other is apparent. What a lovely day it was.....
