Lutherhaven Ministries

Working at Lutherhaven Ministries as a Media Intern has allowed me to photograph the energy, community, and everyday moments that make summer camp special. From high-energy activities and worship to quiet conversations and candid moments between campers and staff, I’ve learned to tell the story of a place through the people who experience it. Photographing camp has challenged me to work quickly in constantly changing conditions, find meaningful moments as they happen, and create images that feel genuine rather than staged. More than anything, it has strengthened my belief that good photography isn’t just about documenting what happened; it’s about preserving what it felt like to be there.
