A Fun Outing to Anderson Falls, Indiana

We went to Anderson Falls in Indiana a few weeks ago. Equipped with a picnic lunch and water shoes, we set out to explore the Fall Fork of Clifty Creek and it’s beautiful waterfall. It was a perfect day, and since school had started for a lot of people, it was almost completely vacant. The river was low, and wide. There are a couple trails, but we just waded up and down the river throwing rocks in and playing in the water. Here are some photos from that day.

If you’re wondering whether I fell in, the answer is yes. Yes, I fell in. My camera was ok though, thankfully! It is a bit slick in some places, so watch your step if you visit and just prepare to get wet!

Thoughts from Quarantine

Hi there! I thought I would take a slight detour from photography to discuss these crazy times we are living in. I hope you all are staying healthy. 

First, I wanted to express how grateful I am for those who work outside the home, putting others wellbeing over their own. We see you, and we are so thankful for you!  I hope you feel appreciated not only from your communities but also your families.  

Second, if you are feeling anxious or lonely or depressed know that you are not alone.  Be brave enough to reach out.  Get the help you need.  Get the prayer you need.  Get the encouragement you need.  This is indeed a strange time we are living in.  Be brave and bold, and I think that once you put it all into the light it will not have nearly the power you think it does.    

Third, I wanted to take the time to say to everyone “we need to just enjoy being still”.  Sometimes it is hard to be alone with your thoughts.  Sometimes it is hard to take a break from this busy life we all get caught up in.  I hope you are spending time just being still.  Take it in.  Let your thoughts and feelings sink in. Spend your time being productive, but also rest! Be grateful for the things and people you do have in your life. Take this time to really reflect on God, and your family and your own thoughts and feelings. I know it feels like we have been doing this quarantine thing a long time.  But believe it or not this will pass, and things WILL get back to normal.  I hope you are seeing the unexpected blessings of this time. 

I am still booking sessions for the future! I hope you are all thriving!  Please reach out to me if you need anything photography related, or if you need prayer, or encouragement.  Remember, this is only momentary.
