CARMIE SANCHEZ | VA STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Carmie joined the DOP team in January 2013 as the official photographer. Photography has been one of her pursuits for several years and more recently she has acquired a love of sewing, DIY, and hosting people in her little trailer house. She is a newlywed of October 27, 2012 and her wonderful husband is Gerry. Next to feeding him and being a housekeeper, she enjoys reading and spending time with family and friends. Her expressive photography captures the essences of life and inspires many to delight in the simple joy of beauty. BETH TROYER | VA GUEST PHOTOGRAPHER Beth grew up in Honduras (where her parents had a children’s home) and has a passion for Latinos and children especially. Beth is a newlywed since May, when she married her best friend Chris. It has been a long journey to the happy spot she is in…lots of heartaches and pain…but God is the Amazing Healer, and He has done miracles in her life! Beth loves beauty (always has!), and since reading Ann Voskamp’s book One Thousand Gifts, has been able to fall deeper in love with the beauty God lavishes around her on an hourly basis. It has changed her relationship with Him. Beth loves photography and has a blog where she counts her gifts in pictures once a month.
