capturing the moments that illuminate your life…
Photography. It’s a never-ending-ever-changing adventure to me. I love capturing “that moment”. That moment that will never ever happen again. Those little fingers and toes that get bigger way too fast. That genuine smile he’s too cool to show… usually. That moment right after “I do” when they look into each others’ eyes and you feel the love so strong it makes you cry. True happiness. I capture that.
me…
I have always loved taking pictures. I've got boxes of photos and negatives (film?) from all the way back to junior high. But in 2005 I found the ultimate inspiration for my art... my daughter.
Faith was born into heaven on March 7, 2005. My husband and I could feel God's hand through that whole experience. We're so grateful that He allowed Faith to visit our lives for the short time she was with us... she'll always be my original inspiration. And through that experience God brought out the gift of and passion for photography in me. It was there all along, but Faith made it shine.
And now Dave and I have a beautiful baby boy Jonah who has inspired me to want to be able to stay home with him. God has given me the faith to quit my job, and now to start my own photography business. I'm so psyched to see what He has planned for me!

I just love this comment my dad left me on my blog entry about why I named my business what I did...
Lisa,
I just have to believe that your grandfather John B. Gurbal Sr. has a great big illuminated grin on his face at this moment. He was a huge photography buff, taking and developing b/w photos by the hundreds. His first camera was one of the Kodak's with the accordian style lens holder. But then again I have a huge illuminated grin on my face too. I'm sooooo proud of all that you've become, and so greatful that God is your guiding light (illumination).
Love, Dad
