I captured this beautiful spider clinging upside down to its web in the Great Smoky Mountains on October 17, 2025. I was very intrigued by its brilliant colors and abdominal design. As the sun hit the web, the light brightened the strands, displaying the spider's hard work.
I have enjoyed taking pictures all my life. In March 2018, I captured a real-life snowflake resembling a flower. I fell in love with it and began pursuing macro photography. My photographs became the illustrations in my book series, Washed as White as Snow. The snowflake designs tell different aspects of the story of Jesus Christ's good news for the world. I believe God creates and uses the snowflakes to magnify how all creation glorifies Him by telling the story of His redeeming love for mankind. I enjoy taking nature photos and sharing God's beauty in plants, animals, and landscapes.
