I don’t normally do this, but I wanted to spotlight one photo I took this weekend—and it’s this one. I truly don’t know how I captured this moment, especially since they were so hidden in the crowd, other than to give credit to the Holy Spirit.

I wasn’t pointing my camera in that direction or even looking that way when I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me to look deeper into the crowd. The moment I raised my camera, I saw this small family loving on one another, happy as could be and worshipping together. It was such a heartwarming sight that it brought a tear to my eye as I took their picture.

The Holy Spirit can work through anything, even while serving and simply taking photos. Moments like this remind me how blessed and grateful I am to do this for a living. šŸ™ā¤ļøšŸ“ø

What an incredible Sunday at Cape Christian! šŸ™Œ This week’s worship set was AWESOME! There’s just something special about a room full of people coming together, lifting their voices, and giving Jesus the praise He deserves. As always, it was such a joy and honor getting to capture these moments from behind the camera! šŸ“ø

This weekend, we officially wrapped up our Jesus Over Everything series, and Pastor Art delivered an amazing message about something that is so important in our walk with Jesus—our prayer life. šŸ™ Prayer isn’t just something we turn to when life gets difficult; it’s an opportunity to continually invite God into every part of our lives.

It was such a great reminder that prayer doesn’t have to be complicated or filled with the perfect words. God simply wants us to come to Him, talk with Him, listen to Him, and trust Him with what we’re carrying. When Jesus is truly over everything, that includes our worries, our decisions, our families, our future, and the things we’re still waiting on God to answer. Prayer keeps our hearts connected to the One who is already over it all.

I’m so grateful to be behind the camera each week capturing what God is doing through His church. What an incredible way to close out this series—a reminder to keep Jesus at the center, trust Him with everything, and never underestimate the power of prayer. Jesus over our past. Jesus over our present. Jesus over our future. Jesus Over Everything! šŸ™Œāœļø

What an incredible Sunday at Cape Christian! Worship was absolutely ELECTRIC today! āš”šŸ™Œ There’s something so powerful about being in a room full of people lifting their voices, hearts, and hands to Jesus. It’s always such a joy and honor getting to capture these moments from behind the camera! šŸ“ø

Today, Pastor Kyle continued Week 2 of "Jesus Over Everything" and the message was amazing! He shared the story of the man on the mat at the Pool of Bethesda who had been sick for 38 years. After all those years of being stuck, Jesus stepped into his story, healed him, and told him to ā€œpick up your mat and walk.ā€

What a powerful picture for our everyday lives. We all have a ā€œmatā€ā€”something from our past that may have once represented our brokenness, shame, addiction, failure, hurt, or a season when we felt completely lost. But when Jesus steps into our story, that mat doesn’t have to define us anymore. The very thing that once represented our pain can become the testimony we carry of what Jesus has done in our lives. Our mat isn’t our embarrassment—it can become our message. What once said broken can now say healed. What once said lost can now say found. What once said shame can now say forgiven and free. šŸ™Œ

I’m so grateful to be behind the camera capturing what God is doing through His church each week. Today was another powerful reminder that we don’t have to be defined by our past. Pick up your mat, carry your testimony, and let your life show others what Jesus can do—because Jesus is over everything!āœļøšŸ™Œ

There’s something truly incredible about gathering together in worship! It was such a joy and honor capturing another amazing Sunday at Cape Christian and seeing people joyfully lifting their voices, hearts, and hands in praise. šŸ”„

Today, Pastor Kyle launched our brand-new series ā€œJesus Over Everythingā€ with a simple but powerful reminder: Jesus isn’t just meant to be part of our lives—He is meant to be over every part of our lives! Our relationships, careers, finances, dreams, struggles, victories, and every decision we make are completely transformed when we put Him first. šŸ™Œ

I’m so grateful to be behind the camera, capturing these powerful moments of worship and life change. It’s an absolute privilege to document what God is doing through His church, and today was another beautiful reminder that when Jesus is over everything, everything changes—and life becomes so much more full, joyful, and alive! šŸ“ø

Today was a little different.

Instead of being at my usual campus, I had the opportunity to work at our Babcock Ranch Campus, and it was such a refreshing experience. There is something special happening there. You can feel the excitement, the genuine community, and the way God is moving in the lives of people in Babcock Ranch. Watching a growing campus filled with people hungry for Jesus is an incredible reminder that God is still changing lives every single week.

Today also wrapped up our At The Movies series with Moneyball, and what a powerful way to close it out. While the movie is about seeing value where others don’t, today’s message pointed us to an even greater truth: your value isn’t determined by what the world says about you—it’s determined by the God who created you. You are far more valuable than you could ever imagine, and your worth has already been established by Christ.

I’m grateful for a church that’s willing to meet people where they are, use creativity to share timeless truth, and continue reaching new communities with the hope of the Gospel.

It was an honor to experience what God is doing in Babcock Ranch today. I can’t wait to see how He continues to move there.

Side Note: Was able to grab a couple worship pictures when I got back to Cape Coral šŸ˜Ž

Some Sundays remind us that nothing can keep people from encountering God—not even ugly weather.

Rain, wind, gray skies… and yet our church was filled with people ready to worship, serve, and experience what God had in store. Days like today are a great reminder that the atmosphere outside never has to determine the atmosphere inside.

Our At The Movies series continued with CODA, and what an incredible choice it was. The story beautifully illustrates the importance of being seen, heard, and loved for who you are. It’s a powerful reminder that God knows our hearts, values every voice, and calls each of us with purpose.

Grateful to capture another Sunday full of authentic worship, powerful moments, and lives being impacted. I love getting to tell these stories through a camera lens.

There’s something powerful about a room full of people lifting their voices in worship. Today at Cape Christian, worship was incredible, creating an atmosphere that prepared hearts for what God wanted to do.šŸ™

Pastor Kyle continued week 2 of the ā€œHigher Heightsā€series with delivering a message about finding true freedom in Christ and breaking free from the things that hold us back. It was encouraging, challenging, and a reminder that Jesus didn’t just save us—He came to set us free.šŸ™ŒšŸ¼

Since stepping into leadership at Cape Christian, Pastor Kyle’s messages have been impactful, relatable, and deeply rooted in God’s Word. Week after week, he continues to challenge us to grow closer to Jesus and take our next steps in faith. Grateful to capture these moments and witness what God is doing in our church family. āœļø

Worship.

ā€œLet everything that has breath praise the Lord.ā€ — Psalm 150:6

No color needed. Because worship was the brightest thing in the room today.

These black and white moments captured something deeper than emotion — hearts fully surrendered, eyes fixed on Jesus, and a reminder that when everything else fades away, His presence still stands out the clearest. šŸ–¤šŸ¤

Another incredible weekend capturing moments at Cape Christian. šŸ“ø Pastor Cory brought a powerful message today about how this world constantly tells us we need more… more money, more success, more stuff. But the truth is, with God, we already have enough.

Sometimes less distraction, less chasing, and less comparison leads to more peace, more joy, and more purpose. So thankful for a church that speaks truth and worship that always sets the tone for what God wants to do in the room. šŸ™Œ

What an amazing weekend at Cape Christian! šŸ˜Ž

Pastor Cory brought an incredible message—reminding us not to run from God when we feel the weight of sin, but to run to Him. When we confess quickly and repent wholeheartedly, there’s real freedom and purification waiting on the other side šŸ™.

And as always, worship was amazing šŸ”„ It sets the tone every single time and does such a great job kicking off service in the best way.
