An International Love || Chattanooga, TN Couples Photography

Johnson is from Nigeria. Jennifer is from Canada. They met and fell in love in Tennessee. Simple!

Some of you may recognize Johnson from previous posts, but the beautiful woman beside him now is his lovely girlfriend of the last year and a half. I met Johnson when he was working with my husband at our college here in Cleveland, Tennessee. Johnson is the person that everyone loves and makes everyone feel welcome. He'll come give you a hug or handshake and will always say thank you.

A few months after meeting Johnson, I had the privilege of meeting his wonderful girlfriend, Jennifer.We all went on a double date together and I quickly learned that Jennifer was a passionate person full of life and a love of photography. I recently got to do a shoot with her, where I was the model. She is such a fun and encouraging person to be around. Making her and Johnson the perfect pair.














 Johnson & Jennifer, you guys truly are a special couple and I am so happy you let me into your lives for a day!

One Child Campaign Social Justice/Documentary Trip

This holiday season, Wes and I are going to help give the hopeless and voiceless exactly what they need. Hope. A Voice. Awareness.
We will be in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia documenting the orphan crisis that is going on over there. This trip is to raise awareness in the States of the desperation that is overwhelming the cities of Ethiopia.

Here is a brief run down of what we will be involved with while there:
Media/Documentary Team: Comprised of photographers, writers, videographers, bloggers and individuals to record and tell the untold stories of street kids and orphans.
Social Justice/Work Team: Comprised of individuals, university students, social workers and groups that want to delve deeper into the lives of orphans and street kids. This will be a diverse team that will explore the social ramifications of the vulnerable and traumatized. This will be accomplished through working with orphanages, orphan directors, street kids, doing work projects, etc.

The cost of the trip is $1590.00 per person. This includes includes lodging, meals,water, transportation, fuel, translators, team shirt, tips, etc. But we are responsible for our international airfare as well. So the total cost of the trip with airfare will be about $6000.
