Pastor Joe Castañeda

Joe Castaneda has been my youth pastor since I entered middle school and became a part of the Crosswalk youth ministry at Bethany Baptist Church. I am so blessed to have him as my youth pastor! Pastor Joe has had a very special impact and place in my life; he has helped me in my walk with God, he has guided me in knowing how to become a better follower and disciple of Christ.

I thank God so much for Pastor Joe and his heart. For his passion for ministry and people, and for the amazing work he is doing to serve our Savior. I really enjoyed spending the morning with PJ, aong with his wife Traci and youngest

daughter Celina who tagged along for the shoot.

Pastor Joe and his wonderful wife Traci are two of the people whom I admire most in my life. They share a beautiful marriage, have incredible hearts, and shine with the light of God in everything they do. Plus they have three amazing kids, that I love most dearly. Here are a few captures expressing the beautiful people they are.

Dean Ding

Dean needed his Senior pictures pictures taken, but he is the photographer, and holding the camera out and taking a zoomed in face shot, you know, those pics that all the girls take of themselves and post as their profile pictures on facebook? yeah, that's just not quite his style. So we went down to the park, and he let me snap a few shots of him. So, if you've been wondering who the amazing co-photographer behind "cutting edge fotos" looks like, now you'll know.

Tyler Weld

Tyler and I have been close for as long as I can remember. Our parents were friends in college, so he's like another brother. We had a lot of fun taking his pictures. He has lots of crazy fun, silly ideas. Here's just a hint of our fun, fall afternoon photoshoot.

This was one of those great "Tyler" moments, that I just had to share with you. It's so picture perfect!!
