Magan and Michael
This past weekend I spent some time with an awesome couple, Michael and Magan van Tonder on their big day! Here are a few images from their wedding. Can't wait to get more film back on this one.
If you've known me for more than 5 seconds you know that I LOVE Fall more than any other season. I even annoyingly talk about it's arrival all Summer (my least favorite of the seasons). I was in Africa for most of September and October has been a crazy month for me. I almost forgot that it was fall! It's been warm here in Sweet Home Alabama so that has something to do with my autumn absent mindedness I think. But alas it's almost November (my favorite month) and therefore I thought I'd share a few of my favorite favorites:
#1- Colors.
All of my favorite colors are fall colors. Red. Orange. Yellow. Brown. I love it!
I'm headed up to Boston next week and I am hoping there will still be some of this:
#2.- Scarves.
My signature.
#3- Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
I am definitely a Chai girl, but I cannot resist a good Pumpkin Spice Latte.
#4- Friday Night Lights.
I do love the show, but I am talking about the real game here. I love football. High School (Go Eagles), College (Roll Tide) and NFL (Go Pats!).
#5- Fires.
I am a sucker for fires. Whether it's a bonfire, campfire or fire in the fireplace. Give me a book, hoodie and cup of coffee and I am set.
#6- Cardigans and Coats
My second favorite clothing items. I bought these two at Anthropologie for the season.
#7- Thanksgiving.
Tied with Christmas on my favorite holiday list. I love all of the baking, cooking, and fellowship that comes with this holiday.
#8.- Grey, Cold Days.
I know.. call me strange, but I love grey skies and cold winds.
#9. Fog.
I love waking up to a foggy morning. And it happens often at my house on the mountain.

It's Fall. It's Film.
So I am super bad at this blogging thing, but this post will be the start of my awesome blogingness (word? possibly?) I am making a big jump in my career....one that will hopefully give me a boost into a new realm of the world of photography...
film.
I have started shooting a little bit of film and have fallen head over heals in love. Now I can't stop! I just recently purchased one of these from my good friend Stephen in NY. Cannot wait to try it out!
Until then I've been playing wiht a few film cameras that I already own but haven't had a clue what to do with.
These were shot on an old Canon Rebel 35mm... love the colors
These were shot on an old Kodak Brownie (Think way way back). I bought it for 4 dollars at a junk store because they thought it didn't work.
So needless to say I am super excited about diving into the world of film. There is just something special about it. I still have no idea what I'm doing, but I'll learn.

Further Explanation... Africa
I am going with a team of girls from Passion City Church to Watoto , a Children’s orphanage in Kampala, Uganda in the middle of September. Watoto is an organization that is raising up children to become the next generation of leaders in Uganda. To find out more about Watoto you can go to their website @ www.watoto.com.
They love having guests from around the world come and bring hope to their country in a practical way. Our team will specifically be involved in Baby Watoto. Our days will be filled with holding, feeding, bathing, and loving the 90+ babies under the age of 2. There is a good chance we will be welcoming in new little ones that have just arrived at their new home. Without willing hearts much of the ministry they do would not be possible and God has given me a willing heart for these little ones!
Each of us are paying our way (flights/room/board/etc) but Watoto has asked each team member to donate $1000 to Baby Watoto. That's where I thought you guys could get involved! You can write a check out to Watoto and mail it to the following address:
Rachel Jones
3733 Carisbrooke Dr
Hoover, Al 35226
I will collect all the money and send it directly to Watoto before we leave for the trip. This money will be used for medical supplies, baby items, and any other needs that they have. I am ready to see first hand the work of Watoto, experience another culture, and see that when people partner together, lives can be turned around.
Please pray for our team as we take this journey of a lifetime! I am sure we will never be the same again!
