Music Video

Dave and I spent pretty much all of Monday shooting our new music video. It was so exhausting, but so much fun! Bradley Gregg was the director, and his wife, Dawn shot these awesome photos (in addition to helping us with the storyline, costumes, models, etc.). She's basically really great.

Here I am in Dawn's hat (which I didn't end up wearing on-camera), hanging out with baby Heller #2.


There were some really funny moments.


And there were times to be serious.

We had such a wonderful crew.
AND the location was fantastic! We shot it at Modern Manor in downtown Phoenix.
The furniture and decorations there really made our video unique and beautiful. What an enormous blessing!
All of the the footage is complete, but now we enter the editing process where it all gets pieced together. We've seen the Lord working through every step of the process, and we pray that He continues to lead and inspire us to create something wonderful that brings glory to His name.

    JJ- i'm working to develop my music and songwriting as well... music is such a unique way of ministering. it takes a lot of work and is an art and a talent, yet i think the best music of all is heard as God breathes grace into our souls as He once breathed life into our bodies. your music breathes His love. that's a wonderful gift- i can't wait to see the new video!

    I can't wait to see the music video! I have to say, I admire how dedicated you are to our Lord and Savior and your family. You are a true inspiration! I don't know how you find the time for all your beautiful projects you post about. From what I have read and heard, your music has touched many, including myself. Keep up the amazing work! :)

    Hi JJ. I live in Texas and recently I heard your song "What love really means" on satellite radio. Let's just say it was a good thing I was parked and waiting for my daughter to get out of school because this is one moving song and I cried like a baby hearing it! I heard it again today and I'm sure I'll never be tired of hearing it. Laura
