VIRGINIA STATE BAPTIST MUSIC AND ARTS CAMP

This past week was filled with fun, excitement, and hard work.

Our family traveled back to the mountains, specifically Lynchburg, Virginia, for a little quality time with our friends and our Lord.

THE VIRGINIA BAPTIST MISSIONS MUSIC AND ARTS CAMP AT EAGLE EYRIE

Over 375 folks came together to worship our Saviour and learn about making music.

There were strings.

Potential photographers.

Friends.


Incredibly talented musicians.


Band (and a really handsome band director - a.k.a. "my husband")

Breaks from all the practice.

Beautiful worship.

Goals to achieve.

African drumming to master.

Praying.

Babies learning to swim.

Laughing mothers.

Prepared swimmers.

Time to relax.

Undeniable praise.

Fine musicianship.

Best buddies.

And oh, so much more.

As the camp photographer, I got to see much of all those things and each one was so beautiful.

But, I will be the first to admit:

This was the most tiring and demanding photo job I have ever tackled.

Each day we would head back to the lodge and most of the time, I don't even remember how I got there. I would recall falling over into the bed, then not even stirring til the alarm clock said it was time to get back up, help fix food for 25 people, and do it all over again.

Now is the FUN part: editing all 856 photos that were taken.

WHEW!

Thanks for the opportunity, Charlotte!

It was an unforgettable week.
