I have realized that I am crooked, and the LORD is the straight path that I desperately desire to follow. It magnifies His greatness, not mine. Even down to the verse that I tag right along with Crooked Stream Photography shows His love and care for every detail: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God..." Psalm 46:4&lt;/span&gt; It is my prayer, with all of my heart: to make glad the city of God...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;And that means even with photography.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since I was extremely young I've had a deep love and appreciation for the beauty of life. I loved capturing once in a lifetime moments in every way I could. I loved listening to every story about "the good old days" told by my heroes like Dad, Grandma June or Great Grandpa Ellis. I didn't pack around my first camera at age 11 because I thought it was a cool fad or made me money. It was just an instrument to capture the stories I loved so much. As a timid, shy 11 year old- I never set out to BE a photographer, I never decided that I'd specialize in weddings, and I NEVER dreamed of working in front of hundreds of people. But I loved those moments and people so much that when I was asked to shoot my first wedding at age 15, I knew deep down that I'd do whatever it takes to capture those memories.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%; font-style: italic;"&gt;That's how it all began.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three years later I'm still packing around a camera, I'm still working with hundreds of people each year, and I'm still loving it.&lt;br /&gt;I want to keep it that way. I'm not out to grow a business or become rich and famous.&lt;br /&gt;I'm on a mission to use my God-given time, talents, and abilities to grow His kingdom and glorify His name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're looking for a photographer to capture those once in a lifetime moments, find a photographer who fits your style.&lt;br /&gt;If Crooked Stream doesn't, I'll help you find someone who will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 130%; font-style: italic;"&gt;Because after the flowers wilt and the music fades...&lt;br /&gt;The photos are what you'll want to pull out to re-live those good old days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8092362479207493437-6262495310783277459?l=crookedstreamphotography5.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8092362479207493437/posts/default/6262495310783277459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8092362479207493437/posts/default/6262495310783277459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://crookedstreamphotography5.blogspot.com/2011/01/about-us-deeper-meaning-who-do-they.html' title=''/><author><name>Miss C the Second</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiVL7wvdWfY/THnPAbE6XHI/AAAAAAAAHfM/1uHuTkRCIJo/S220/IMG_8014re.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EiVL7wvdWfY/TTeiB1OSncI/AAAAAAAAH2U/BlSR2OY6zIk/s72-c/46476_1584085365960_1350522611_31572118_1362204_n.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
