Kiera and I became friends about five years ago. We would talk about relationships and what we hoped for in our future spouses. When we met to talk about their wedding, all those conversations made it that more meaningful to hear about her and Cam's relationship. This photo is just a glimpse of those hopes coming true.

Last fall I got the chance to go to Papua New Guinea as a photographer on the YWAM Medical Ship. It was an incredible two-month experience where I got to be part of and hear amazing stories of how this non-profit has brought hope to so many people over the last ten years. It was a trip that changed my view on the value of photography and the ways it can help on a small scale, like bringing joy to someone seeing their photo for the first time, and a bigger scale, like showcas...ing what this non-profit does so sponsors want to invest thousands of dollars so they can continue to help others. I’ll always look back on this experience with gratefulness for the people, culture, and things that I learned. If you’d like to read more about it, here’s a little something I wrote.
