Hey friend!
If you’re on this journal, then you probably know that I’m a photographer mom. Photography has become an avenue for creativity on a personal level and a fulfilling source of income for my family. I love it. But something I love even more is my family. And beyond even that, is my God.
I also think that, if you’re looking at this journal, you’re probably one of the people I love talking to and working with. Someone who is balancing life, with all of its hats, as if you’re the Cat in the Hat on a rainy-inside-day. (Side note- even the Cat in the Hat dropped his balancing act!)
And, maybe you’ve got it all together, or maybe you don’t, but you could always use a little, real, and honest encouragement.
So, friend, here I am! Your local 'friend-who-also-happens-to-be-a-photographer,' writing to you about my "real-time" life, in the context of my faith, with the goal to offer encouragement. Encouragement that God is good. That you’re not alone. That I, just like you, care deeply about my family, their faith, and that we all finish the race and meet our God to hear, "well done good and faithful servant." And that big things come from little steps in the right direction. I know because I’m often taking baby steps in my slow growth in Christ. ;) So, if you're reading these journal entries, you're going to see some of my favorite work that I've created with my amazing clients, but you'll also see me, trying to live with eternity in mind and honor God through what he has entrusted to me.
Let's be friends,

As I was updating my website this evening, I came across this old post of mine from 2019- it completely hit home. So I gave it quick refresh to help with readability and formatting and have republished it for today, 2023. It’s amazing how growth tends to come in cycles- always up, but swirling a […]

Oh, Virginia Falls. This beautiful autumn in Virginia morning was picturesque, but so, so wet! Thankfully, this sweet family of four was awake (with a newborn) with plenty of zest to give this early morning mini family session a go. They also happen to be from Pennsylvania, so there really wasn’t a chance to make […]
