Dumisani Irvin

I can receive no greater compliment than the one where Dumisani’s mom said to me after looking at his gallery that she loved his images, that I “got him”, and that he trusts me implicitly!  Job well done, Dumisani!

Love these words written by Jasmine on July 19, 2016:
“How much life has changed from a year ago! My life is so much more full. So honored to now be a wife and mother! Have learned so much about my son, myself, all baby things, what a wonderful husband and father Dwight is, and my view of God just got a whole lot bigger. Can’t believe how quickly time passes you by.”

This is when I LOVE what I do! Thank you, Jasmine and Dwight, for having me as a friend and photographer. I love you all so much!

Far be it from me to not believe
Even when my eyes can’t see
And this mountain that’s in front of me
Will be thrown into the midst of the sea.
Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
Through it all, through it all, it is well
Through it all, through it all
My eyes are on You
And it is well with me.
It Is Well / Lyrics / Kristene Dimarco / Bethel Music

Sometimes editing a photo is just as rewarding as taking the photo. This is when a piece of art happens versus an ordinary (but usable) photo.
