Finding freedom & joy in the midst of Chaos…

I have been a full time photographer/ mom/ wife for the past 5 years. At first I refrained from calling myself a full time photographer because I did have so many other things tugging at me for my time. However when it came down to it, I calculated out just how much time was going...

Wonderful post Karen!!!

This made me tear up a little bit! God truly is glorious and MERCIFUL! So incredibly merciful! It’s so encouraging to hear of people giving God control. This is a lesson I seem to keep having to relearn, but in the end, giving God the reins I was fighting so hard to hold onto is always a thousand times better than anything I could have dreamt!
Thank you so much for this reminder!

Looking back on 2011

If you would’ve asked me last year at this time what I thought 2011 would hold, I may have mentioned a few travels, shooting abroad, and getting to attend WPPI as my highlights.  Wow was that an understatement.  As 2011 unfolded I was constantly amazed at God’s favor and hand in my life.  It seemed...

God dreams bigger than I do…

As many of you know we’ve had to keep our lips quite sealed for the past few months.  But alas… It. Is. Time!  The thing is, I hate surprises.  I always have.   So having to keep all of this from you has been horrible.  I can just feel the anticipation from everyone and I...

I’m so excited to be part of this adventure with you all…!!!! It’s an incredibly wonderful feeling to give yourself completely and wholeheartedly to our dear Lord. He has not steered me wrong once since I stopped thinking that my life was in my control. I’m so blessed by his presence in my life. He’s is our father and when we finally break down all the barriers, we can feel Him right there! It’s a wonderful feeling!!! Can’t wait to meet everyone!
