Way Back When//Film Scans

Thursday, May 30, 2013

In high school, I was introduced to short-term, overseas missions via a trip to Guatemala with my youth group.

 2003 I officially graduated high school (I say officially, because, as a homeschooled kid, I'd been attending college since 2001) and went back, this time, as a leader, with my youth group.

Guatemala is a gorgeous country. Volcanoes, jungles, vivid colors and sounds, large cities, rural villages, mountains, crystal clear lakes, cities, slums. Such beautiful, sweet people. Joyful children photo-bombing every click of the camera, markets and malls. We were able to see so many aspects, view different perspectives. We mainly performed dramas and skits in the school, dancing and interacting with the kids after. We served on a missions base in the Petén Jungle, working on the grounds and serving the other missionaries. 

Both times were eye-opening and life changing. They planted a seed that has continued to grow. The travel bug... the sights and sounds, sleeping in airports and hauling large duffles. Interacting and meeting children and people with a hunger for God and for human love. 

... by my second trip, the tiny beginning of a love a photography was taking root in my heart. Here are some of my film scans from this trip. (I love these so much- I'm so glad I didn't have a digital camera at the time!)














One of the ideas that thrills me to the core about my future plans is that I now have a deep-rooted, practiced love of photography. A love that will be embraced and encouraged by the program I will be working in with YWAM. That's exciting.

Photography, Donations and Details

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

Hello friendly-friends,
Maybe you're stopping by because you nabbed a flyer from my table at Apex (hey! Thanks for stopping by!) or maybe I somehow enticed you to pop over after I blasted every social media outlet known to man/aka, myself. Whatever brought you here, welcome. And if you're interested in booking a photo session to help fund my missions trip, that would be awesome! Here are some details on how to do that:

First, shoot me an e-mail inquiry. em.ogden@gmail.com and we'll chat about dates, locations etc... (keep scrolling for the details...)



<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Pricing and Details>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Personal session (1 person): One session/location, and a disc with 5-10, high quality, edited images ..........................suggested donation** of $50-$100

These are great for websites, bloggers, business cards or just to have some gorgeous, creative photos of yourself. Everyone should have their photo taken at least once a year! 

Family Session (2 or more): One session/location, and a disc with 10-15 high quality, edited image.........................suggested donation** of $150-$200

**As noted, all prices are suggested donations. Feel free to give what you can afford, but please note that  I am looking to raise support of around $10,000 for my trip. (this includes tuition to YWAM's discipleship training school, room and board, air fare to Australia and back, and another, undetermined, overseas outreach trip during the duration of my program. As well as daily life, expenses and equipment upkeep!)


I am blessed and excited beyond words to embark upon this next adventure in life. It is amazing to see how God has opened doors and already provided. It is an honor to be going on a trip that will embrace my passions and talents, and it is even better that I am able to use them currently, in my work to raise support. God is teaching me grace, gratefulness, humility and love through this process, as it is not an easy task, as an independent human being, to be at the mercy of those around me for provision. Thank you, all of you, for your prayers and gifts!

-Em

Radtastic 80's Prom Fundraiser

Wednesday, May 8, 2013



Hey friends, just wanted to give you a heads up that Apex is throwing an 80s Prom to raise money for missions (specifically the Zambia trip I believe.) But I will be there running a radtastic photo booth to raise support for my trip! There may be a neon splatter paint backdrop and some totally gnarly props so please stop by, get a photo (or 5) snapped, and drop some moola in my tip jar!
