It was an honor to take family pictures for Joyce Leppert Turner’s family at the Opryland Garden Conservatory in Nashville this afternoon. She reminded me that it’s been 15 years since we’ve seen each other, where we used to attend the same church in Las Vegas, NV. I think it’s so cool how God brings people back together!Thank you for helping me raise more funds for my upcoming mission trip, Turner family!🤗

In November of 2025, my husband and I were blessed to have partnered with Hope Springs International to fund the drilling of two, deep water wells in Nigeria. It had been a life long dream to be able to bring clean, accessible water to the villagers in Africa, and we’re beyond grateful to God for providing the means to do that.

The video below is of a village where their water source had dried up. To see water shooting out of the ground and so much joy in the villager’s faces as they sing praises and watch the eldest woman in their village drink clean water for the first time, made tears flow down our faces. Bringing clean water to people who live in unreached areas in Africa is truly life-saving for them. We again, thank God and give Him all of the glory.

One year later, I will have the opportunity to partner with HOPE SPRINGS again to travel with a small team to Africa for a mission trip. Due to safety reasons, I’m not sure if I’m allowed to share where exactly yet, but I will update you later on that. We will be painting one of the centers that provides skills for self-sustainability, distributing food to a couple of villages where deep water wells have been drilled, and visiting an orphanage to deliver and assemble beds for them.

I’m grateful to have this opportunity to go on the mission trip, and I would love your support as well! Please be praying for our team as we prepare to travel, and be the hands and feet of Jesus in Africa. If you would like to support me financially, visit my missions page at https://capturedbyshawna.com/missions to donate funds through the Venmo or Zelle links.

Also, ALL photography sessions from September and October will be going towards the mission trip. If you have any questions, would like to book a Fall family session with me or just want to chat more about the trip, please leave a comment, DM me, click on the missions link or give me a call!
p.s. One more way of supporting me, is by sharing this post!😃

This stunning couple will get married in just one week from today. George & Teresa were so easy going, and you could just tell how much they adore each other. Ms. Teresa was poppin’ in that purple dress with her matching purple hair too! 💜 Don’t you agree?
