Mark your calendar—Saturday, August 16th at 8AM, we’re going back to where it all began.

Altadena Lake in Vestavia Hills is the birthplace of Walk By Faith, and for good reason—it’s a hidden gem with more beauty than you can take in on a single visit.

This place has it all: a shimmering lake that mirrors the morning sky, a peaceful waterfall whispering over the rocks, a swamp that’s home to a busy beaver, winding woodland paths where deer quietly move through the trees, and wide-open grassy fields perfect for soaking in the fresh air.

Bird lovers—bring your long lenses! The residents here have feeders that attract an incredible variety of species, making it a paradise for both seasoned bird photographers and those picking up a camera for the first time.

This time, I’m diving deeper into the exposure triangle, focusing on aperture—what it is, how it works, and how to use it to capture everything from crisp landscapes to dreamy, blurred backgrounds.

Whether you’re here to grow in your faith, your photography skills, or both, this walk is for you.

Come ready to explore, to learn, and to be reminded that God’s creation is both vast and detailed—and so is His care for you.
