You know how some people in the world are beautiful, some are compassionate, and some are talented?

Stephanie is all three.

Back in July, I had the distinct privilege of helping Stephanie create some images to be used as artwork for her upcoming debut album, Overcomers.

Stephanie truly has a gift for creating music.  The lyrics emerge from her heart of hearts, and she molds them with such powerful music – the result is nothing short of inspired.

Those who get to see Stephanie in action as the music director of the contemporary worship service at Cypress Creek Christian Church know that this album is long overdue!

I encourage you all to visit her just-launched website, Stephanie Sharp Songs, and learn more about her story and passions.

Word on the street is that the CD will be available on iTunes, CD Baby, and Amazon by the end of the month!

Stephanie’s family owned a home on Crystal Beach that was completely devastated by Hurricane Ike last September.  We ventured out on a wind-whipped, overcast day and held our photo session among the vacant lots and random remaining debris.

Despite the destruction, many homes have since been repaired, rebuilt, and resurrected – Stephanie felt that this atmosphere was more than appropriate to represent the spirit of the Overcomers album.

As we walked along the coast, Stephanie found this tiny chunk of wood.

The seafoam green color was a telltale sign…this was a piece of her destroyed home.

Stephanie and Leannah, THANK YOU for inviting me to be a part in this amazing process.  I am thrilled that I was able to contribute to your musical journey.  Remember me when…!

This is my  friend, Alyssa.

She’s a photographer.

And she’s beautiful!

I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Alyssa at a Professional Photographers Guild of Houston meeting.  She’s an interior designer-turned pin up photographer with crazy-fun style.  As awesome girls do, we hit it off immediately!

Alyssa was in need of some quick head shots for her work with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo committee.  She was even willing to trek up to my neck of the ‘burbs, so how could I say no?

This girl does amazing things behind her camera, and apparently does just as well in front of mine.

You MUST check out her pinup work.  It is fun, flirty, and fabulous!

Not gonna lie, I’d love for her to give me the full pinup treatment one of these days.

I’ll even trek down to her neck of the big city.
