    I first encountered Radiant Worship at TheCall DC last summer. They are a very gifted group of musicians who know how to bring a crowd to their feet and connect their hearts to God!

    On my recent trip to Kansas City, Radiant asked me to take promo photos for their upcoming CD and tour. I have to admit that I was both excited and nervous about the session, because groups can be hard to get creative with. We agreed to bring a couch out for a prop, and away we went! It was a lot of fun for all of us!

    The next evening, I took photos of the band in action as they played at a teen camp.

    On my trip to Kansas City, I also had the privilege of doing a photo session with Daniel Matthews, a member of Radiant Worship Band, who is also working on his own CD (which I can’t wait to hear!) Daniel is a really great guy and I enjoyed connecting with him regarding a similar path God has us both on right now.

    The session took place in downtown Kansas City, near the Crossroads Arts District, and down by the River Market. I don’t do a whole lot of urban type photography, so this was a great stretching experience for me.

    One of my favorite things about photographing musicians with their instruments is listening to them play while I take their photos. I also like to see the transformation in their eyes and expression when they are making music.

    Jaye Thomas is a a full-time intercessory missionary and worship leader with the International House of Prayer (IHOP) in Kansas City, MO. I made a recent visit down there and had the opportunity to photograph him. Jaye is pretty much one of the nicest people on the planet. We had a great time together and both laughed a LOT!

    Definitely check out his web site. Jaye is an amazing musician!
