Golden Opportunities...

So many wonderful opportunities...

People ask me what my major at Dordt is. From what the majority of my time is spent on, people would immediately say photography. This year has provided so many chances to put my photo passion to work and, in turn, I'm learning sooo much.

I'm working for the advancement office/year book. It's great.
I get paid for going to basketball games. Can't complain. ;)

I'm also working for the school newspaper as a photographer and staff writer...after adding a jounrnalism minor my Junior year, I thought it best to get as much experience in as possible. It's been a huge learning experience...let's just say my goal of challenging myself more than the previous college years has definitely been accomplished!

In the past 3 weekends I've had 1-3 photoshoots whether it's for a jazz band concert, play dress rehearsal, or senior photos. Right now I'm swamped with over 1,500 photos to edit.... shh..don't tell.

This photo was taken at my 2nd Sioux Center home, the Fruited Plain, with my cousin Elisabeth. She came down last weekend to visit and get her senior photos done. It was a spectacular time filled with laughs, pictures, and brownies topped with fudge and ice cream.

Life is good. Eternal life is better.

Don't forget to thank God for your blessings today!
