// Author: Lauren // 0 Comments

It is that time of year again – Easter Mini Sessions! YAY. I have to admit these are my FAVORITE sessions, because seeing the children’s reactions to the chicks is always sooooooooooo much fun! So here is a sneak peek of my day in the studio with the kiddos and chicks.

Antonio – Oh my word. His facial expressions had me laughing so hard when I loaded his pictures! These are only 3 out of 20!

Carly & Olivia – These two are pro’s at my Mini Sessions by now and I love it. They are also great chicken wranglers! & I always capture lots of silly faces that keep me laughing while editing.

Ellie- This was my first time meeting this sweet little girl and she was ADORABLE. So sweet and slightly scared of the chicks but she held one like a pro and posed like a model.

Emma-   This sweet little one stopped by and she just happened to be exactly 5 months old! She had grown so much since I captured her at 5 days old. Such a sweet treat to see her. She was just precious & BEAUTIFUL blue eyes.

Madison –
I was so excited to have this sweet little girl stop by again with her beautiful curly hair. She did great with the chicks and even brought her bunny with her. I loved it.

Paxton- Seriously, he was a natural at just 5 months old! He looked at the camera and grinned. I could photograph him everyday! & He did so well with the chicks for such a young age. Oooohhh, and the bunny ears & tail…. adorable.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by. It was a wonderful day with the kiddos and chicks. I look forward to it again next year.

“The Passion Play” 2013: Word of Life Ministries

// Author: Lauren // 0 Comments

After months of practicing, the week is finally here – Play Week. The planning begins well before Christmas and the cast and crew usually start practicing the first Monday of the new year. Practice is twice a week – Mondays and Thursdays (and some cast members even practice Sundays too) for typically 3 hours.

This week all the hard work pays off. There are hundreds of volunteers who participate: actors, actresses, stage crew, dancers, makeup, sound & light crew, kitchen help, greeters, traffic directors, van drivers…. the list could probably go on. I have lost track of how many years I have been involved but I know it’s at least a decade now (yeah…. im getting old), but i’m sure everyone who has ever volunteered will agree: the time spent is well worth it!

This year we have had some major changes, including bringing in a production consultant, Paul DeRose, who used to work with Sight & Sound in Lancaster, Pa. Recently the post gazette wrote an article about our play and you can read more here: http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/local/neighborhoods-east/hundreds-stage-easter-pageant-that-attracts-thousands-680256/#ixzz2OQiUabUP

Come out and see the play Sunday March 24th & Monday March 25th. NO TUESDAY. Wednesday March 27th, Thursday March 28th, or Friday March 29th. Choral prelude at 6:30pm, Play starts at 7pm. Word of Life Ministries: 4497 Route 136 Greensburg, PA. Be aware, seats fill up quick and we may have to turn you away if you do not get there early for a seat.

I plan on trying to take more pictures throughout the week but for now here are some photos from Saturdays dress rehearsal.


Jesus heals the lepers.


New Scene: Pontius Pilate’s wife warns him of her dream (about Jesus).

“… take him away and have him flogged, as an act of Roman justice.”
“… a crown for the King of the Jews!” “Where are your followers now Mighty King?”



“…It is finished. Lord, into your hands I commit my spirit.”

…you are my son. …God’s chosen one.

What a wonderful way to spend your week leading up to Easter Sunday. If you are reading this, I pray you can make it out to see the play during one of our five nights. I guarantee you will be richly blessed!
