Catherine, Noelle, & Laura are just a few of the high schoolers that Josh & I work with through our church’s youth group ministry.  And these three girls are some of the ones who like their photograph taken the most!  I love high schoolers – they just tell you what they want.  I got a text from one of them a few weeks ago saying, “Mandy, we want new pictures.  Let’s do them downtown.  When are you available?”  Haha!  Just like my little ones!  I had an open early Saturday morning & they came!  We met in Downtown Annapolis at 8am on a Saturday – that’s dedication!  They simply wanted some photos of them hanging out, and that’s just what we did!

Today we had the great afternoon/evening with our church’s youth group at their annual Beach Day.  This was one of my favorite shots of the day.  It’s Brooke spending sweet time with her Aunt Emily….just melts my heart!

Stay with me on this one….

My husband’s cousin’s husband (or my “cousin” as I find easier to say) sent me an e-mail a bit ago asking me if I’d be willing to photograph his church’s worship band.  See, they are having a big worship event at their church in a few months that they want to invite local youth groups to & wanted to get some promotional materials out to advertise it.  Of course!  Yeah!  Like did you even have to ask???  I said yes and headed up to Faith Baptist Church on Thursday to photograph this diverse group of talented musicians.

It was probably my quickest photo session ever, but I am pleased with what we got.  Think album cover….

They got some good air!

Running…those lead singers always have to be first

This may have been a bit awkward for all involved

Let me know if you’d be interested in attending Faith’s youth worship service.  Or you can contact my “cousin” Tim Byer directly.  I’m sure it’s gonna rock!
