things that matter...

so my friend lisa calls me one day a few weeks ago and tells me that she knows a family that we need to meet and photograph. she insists that we will be changed by them and by the story that God is writing on their lives.

you will probably not believe this story unless you read it for yourself. it is a hard story to hear and yet it is the one that lorie, daryl and their precious boys are living these days. i am still in awe of the fact that we were given the high privilege of photographing them. they have approached this chapter with courage, grace, strength, and great vulnerability. there is also more joy and laughter in their home than the world would ever consider possible in the face of such a journey. i should also tell you that there is also an unfathomable amount of HOPE in this story. i will never forget the testimony that they shared with us of what God has done and is doing. here is a link to their story. for those that pray, i would ask that you would pray for lorie and her family.
