I pledge allegiance... to the Flag...
Oh what memories that brings up for me. As a young child in elementary school, I anxiously awaited for my turn to hold our room's flag while we stood, hand over heart, reciting the words that made me stand a little taller - even if I didn't know exactly why at that time. When my day came, I was ever so careful not to let that beautiful piece of fabric touch the slightly dusty schoolroom floor. I was proud. I could hardly contain my reverence and awe.
I love to photograph that which fires your soul! I want know what inspires you... what fuels your decisions - WHO YOU ARE! I love to capture the passion that drives the heart that God created. In Zander's case - his love of country is so much of his identity that no photograph could contain it - but I did my best! Honor, integrity, patriotism, pride for the land that God chose for him - this embodies Zander!
Zander doesn't just love his country... he loves God. The honor and integrity that he possesses comes from a deep rooted sense of God's sovereignty and his humble servant's heart... and that joy shines through in his smile! I am always grateful for opportunities to photograph young men and women in their senior year... and I pray that I capture and create photographic memories that they, and their families will be proud to hang on their walls - for generations to come!
