About Beauty for Ashes and my photos.

Until 2006 my customers consisted of friends, family, co-workers and the power of word-of-mouth. Now, I am so blessed to say, with much prayer, a lot of patience, God's direction and a very specific prayer answered; I am open for business anytime, anywhere to anyone.

Since the day I was saved my heart has been for evangelism. I am truly grateful for the gift God has given me through photography.  I can't think of a better way for me to evangelize His Word to the world. If I can't physically be on a mission trip I can still evangelize through my photography. God knows my desire would be to evangelize all over the world if it were possible.

Very seldom do I use a program to manipulate my photos; if so it is just for the fun of it. I am the type of photographer that points and shoots. If I get a good shot, great! If I don't there is always next time. To sit and try to figure out all of the menus and colors and layers is time wasted that I could be out taking another photo. So what you see is what I caught with either my Casio QV-3000EX or my Nikon D50 digital camera. I do type scripture on my photos and occasionally try to transform an already blurry photo that I love into something I think others might enjoy as well. That is as fancy as I get.

Most of my photos have been taken around my own neighborhood (just south of Charlotte, NC), in surrounding towns or in the Chapel Hill area, where the rest of my family resides. If I say, "STOP!" While in the car, whoever is driving better pull off the road. We have turned around more than once so I could take a picture.

Every photo is signed, has a luster finish and come either matted with a Bible verse or the print with Bible verse on it. At your request, photos that are not matted can be matted for an additional charge, email request to: info@beautyforashesphoto.com
