Fall, the smell of falling leaves, cool rains, pumpkins, mums, it’s my favorite time of the year! October also means it’s Archbold High School & Ridgeville High School Alumni Band night! I am honored to be able to capture this evening each year, to see faces I don’t see often, catch up with them, and reminisce! What started out as a rainy morning and afternoon, turned into a gorgeous night for everyone. Events are such a fun thing to capture, you never know what’s going to happen, a drummer could break out into dancing to James Brown or the flag girls could lift trumpet player! A huge thank you to all involved for making this evening happen for the Alumni, the 2017 AHS Marching Band, the speaker Mr. Hoverman, current AHS Band Director Beth Voll & her amazing staff, it was a fun night to be a part of! Looking forward to next year already! Go Streaks & Falcons!

| DYS Leadership Retreat 2017 |

A couple weeks ago I was honored to be able to capture the DYS Leadership Retreat!  Each year the event features a guest speaker to help motivate and encourage the teens.  The Leadership program is committed to helping give all young T1D’s the tools needed to embrace their opportunities and differences, while working together towards better health, knowledge, friendships, and leadership!  This year’s guest speaker was the one and only Chris Ruden!  Chris is a powerlifter, entrepreneur, model, and motivational speaker — and a T1D!  It was absolutely amazing to meet this young man and watch him engage, capture, and work one on one with these teens.  Not only did he speak with them, he cooked with them!  If you ever get the opportunity to listen to Chris, do it, he will inspire you with his honesty, kindness, inspirational words, and overall genuine compassion for helping others!  Thank you Chris for taking time out of your busy schedule to speak with DYS!
