Thank you for swinging by captured in His image Photography! My name is Laura and I am the girl behind the camera. I am a new bride to my best friend since high school, Jordan. We live in Manhattan, Kansas where I work for my alma mater, Kansas State University. I love mac n' cheese, cartoons, traveling, Aldi brownie mix (it's the best!), theater, Disney, enjoying a glass of wine with good friends, thrift shopping, Jesus....and anything else that brings adventure into our everyday life!

captured in His image Photography is at the center of my heart. This journey began two years ago and has been the most challenging i've ever faced. I am humbled with each stumbling block and encouraged with each 'ah-ha!'. Being invited in to life's most intimate moments by people who start as strangers and quickly become friends has to be the most amazing experience ever. I believe that all of us are on a unique journey and that photos are a truly beautiful way to capture God's presence, purpose and blessings in our lives.

I hope you enjoy the photos and stories archived on this page-they are a mix of captured in His image and my own life. Thanks again for visiting. I'm so glad you're here!

Holly

August 2010

I can’t think of a better way to introduce my new blog than with the beautiful pictures of Miss Holly. I’ve known Holly for the past 8 years and it has been so neat seeing her grow up, just like a sister to me. She is strong and bright. She loves Harry Potter (loves is probably an understatement). She is artistic and kind. Holly graduated from Blue Valley High School this past May and just started college and a new job! She is bound to do incredible things.

For this first part of Holly’s pictures we decided to venture downtown. Without a destination in mind, we were able to drive and let the city lead us. We stumbled across broken down rail cars, ivy covered walls, spectacular fountains and a patch of green grass in the middle of busy streets and towering buildings. It was awesome. I love that Holly brought her acoustic guitar and was willing to do anything I asked- including ending her shoot by running through the Crown Center fountains, leaving her soaked to the bone for the ride home. It’s session like these that make me realize how much I love the experiences and adventures captured in His image takes me on.
