I need more study and practice...a lot more. I can't yet consistently take pictures of the quality that I would like. But eventually, with God's good grace, I would like to reach a professional level and then donate any profits I make from photographing children to organizations that participate in the care of the fatherless.
My hope is to call my business NewSong Photography. Repeatedly in God's word we're told to sing a new song to the Lord. For me this has been difficult. You see, I can't carry a tune; I'm not even able to sing the happy birthday song correctly after the hundreds of times I've heard it in my five decades of life!
However, I've discovered that I can express my own kind of 'new song' through photography. I look forward to the opportunity to serve my Saviour with a camera and computer.
(Here our four youngest children were willing to let me "practice" on them as we vacationed on the North Shore of Lake Superiour in Minnesota in September)

| Oksana and Nathaiel were adopted from the same orphanage in Russia, November 2010 |
This star was the idea of our 16-year-old daughter, Daria. She and her 13-year-old sister, Tatiana, worked hard to get everybody positioned just right. Quite a bit of giggling went on before Daria was satisfied.

| Amy (r) and Natasha are biological sisters with 14-year-old Tatiana. They were adopted from Russia in 2005. |
 |
| Now the sibling bond they share is based on love alone, through a shower of God's grace. |
For the Sake of My beloved Saviour's Name:
"I will sing a new song to You, O God."
~Ps 144:9a
Congrats mom! I'm excited for you :)
