Yaaaay!! I love meeting and working with other photographers, but photogs with hearts of gold? That’s this girl. In a few short weeks, Stacy has become such a sweet girlfriend. As a photographer, it’s easy to get caught up in capturing other people’s lives and neglect documenting our own. SO, we set a date, met up in downtown Mesa, and made magic.

On a side note, I think I may have created a monster… Marcus k-i-l-l-e-d this shoot. He grabbed some of my favorite shots of the day! Enjoy the pickies of Stacy and her great hubs, Joe! HEART you two!!

Off to a good start with those kicks.

So, supermodel Joe here is supposedly WAY shy in front of the camera. Dare I say, “we told you so“? You look awesome! These next two shots were [unfortunately] Marcus’s ;)

Marcus’s!

Sportin’ the goods!

Just beautiful. Mmmm

They’re so lovey together. The best!

I love this!

I’ll end on one of my faves, taken by the man half.

XOXO!

  • Robin:

    Great engagement photos here. You guys got some beautiful light over there in the states, you don’t know how lucky you are. In the UK we are always struggling with rainy days and dull skys :( Great pics, keep up the good work.

  • YBF:

    Another fabulous shoot! I’m always amazed (I oughta’ be over it by now) to see how beautiful the actual photographers are. They’re too seldom IN FRONT of the lense! Like you and Murph–Stacy and Joe are a sweet couple! XXOO

It’s really happening, and quite quickly. The SOLE Movement has found its identity and is being manifested through the lives of Marcus Murphy and Dennis Gable. Because this is ONLY part one, I don’t want to give too much away.

Be interested, stay current, and I’ll be on the horn as soon as their site and dates are DUN! For now, kick back and enjoy the two goobers in action.


  • YBF:

    Great shots. Hmmm…, Let’s see. Dennis and Murph… Yes! The Tattoo and The Tie! XXOO

  • Josh:

    AWESOME!!! Some of those props look pretty fimiliar ;)

In many ways, I think our lives too often lack encouragement. It’s easy to overlook the thoughtful gestures of our loved ones, expect and not give thanks for the people working around us, or feel too “busy” to keep one another accountable. The women who contribute daily to this blog are so real, so raw, and so right! I know I’VE been inspired by their honesty, wit, and hope.

Sooo, not only do I get to brag about how wonderful (In)Courage is, but I get to share my first feature with them! I was so blessed by my experience in Thailand, and was given the opportunity to recap lessons learned and some images. Please visit my story, and leave any comments for me there!

THANK YOU!!!

  • Beth:

    What a wonderful experience you had in Thailand. And while you may settle in, you will never settle down and most importantly, you will never settle :) You know what is important in your life and I am confident you will continue to do all you can to help others and live the life you were meant to lead.

  • Mary Marantz:

    Yay!! So proud of you!! Love you!!

  • Chrissy:

    Your photography is exquisite!

  • Ann Voskamp@Holy Experience:

    You change the world with your seeing eye, your blazing heart.

    Thank you….

    All’s grace,
    Ann
