Day 29 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

I don't have a picture of God...but I must say that He is the one that has shown me time and time again through good times and bad that He is my rock. 

My all in all.

My Savior. 

My Best Friend. 

At times it seems as if nothing is going right and everything that could possibly go wrong is happening, in the midst of that storm when I cry out for His mercy and grace, He is able and willing to grant me that peace that nothing in this word can fulfill. 

Thank you, God, for being there for me...always.  <3 :)

Day 28 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.


This blog post is dedicated to my beau. :)  Although there have been many people and experiences that have greatly influenced my life, especially the relationship I have with my Savior, I must say that the  person that has made an impact on my life most recently would be my beau.

It started with a dream.  A young girl's dream, in fact.  My dream.  A dream of one day meeting the person who not only shares the same love and dedication to our Heavenly Father, but also someone who would encourage me and draw me closer to my Prince. 

Flash forward a few years and that same dream, still alive in my heart and with the gentle guiding and leading of my precious Savior's hand, began to unfold. My loving Heavenly Father graciously revealed the beginning of a story so wonderful that I can only give credit to Him for bringing us together in His perfect timing.

God has used this special young man to bless me in more ways than I can count, and I cannot help but thank the Lord for providing me with someone who is caring, thoughtful, and is a great encouragement in Christ.  :)

Of course, I am biased....(what girlfriend isn't? ;) ), but I have to say that being with someone that can encourage me in my walk with Christ is a blessing beyond measure and something that I have been praying and waiting for for a long time.  I just amazes me how God answers prayers. :)

And to all my sisters in Christ that are faithfully waiting for the right one to arrive in their lives, just know that God is preparing, shaping and molding the right person for you right at this moment.  So that when that special day arrives, you and he will be ready to begin a wonderful story that could only be written by the hand of a most loving God. :)

I Heart Faces - {Fix-It-Friday #100}

I'm really enjoying these Fix-It-Friday challenges since things have slowed down a bit (though, I'm hoping that will change in the near future... ;) I am loving the challenges given because it allows me to try new Photoshop techniques and become inspired and challenged by other fellow photographers. :)

I used a combination of TR, MCP and FB to brighten the background.  His eyes (look at those catchlights!!) were already brightened, and needed little to no adjustment at all!  Here's another simple B&W below. Enjoy! :)

Day 23 - A picture that can always make you smile.

Okay, so there's A LOT of photos that make me smile...so it took me a while to finally narrow it down to just ONE. Hehe! ;) Though, I'll probably wish I could change it later on so...here's just one out of 1,000+ photos that I make me smile... :)  Plus, she's wearing knee high socks... =P

Enya | Tacky Little Hatshop - Mini Mini Shoot







Here are some photos from an 'unofficial' mini mini shoot (which was around 5 minutes) with my friend, Enya from the band Tacky Little Hatshop (visit their Facebook fanpage HERE!) :)  It was a pleasure taking her photos and I must say that she can rock nearly any hair color...from natural colors of black, red, brown and platinum blonde to colorful colors like her currently rad green/turquoise shade here! :)  She and her sister are some great models not to mention they are both so talented!! I can't wait to see how God will use them and their music to bless others here and maybe even around the world.  Love you, girls! <3 :)

It's the little things....


A bright red bunch of flowers was given to me by my beau when he came by to visit. It's those little things, whether it's a bouquet of fancy flowers or just a single bunch of colorful flowers like above that makes me smile.  And, as cliche as it may sound, it's really the thought that counts.   I can't help but thank my Heavenly Father for bestowing His continuous blessings and love even though I don't deserve even a fraction of what He has already provided for me....that makes me smile. :)

"But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing the LORD’s praise, for he has been good to me."- {Psalm 13:5-6}

Remnants of winter seem to be lingering as thick clouds hang overhead like a cold blanket of gray.  It seems like today is the perfect day to cuddle up in a warm and well-loved sweater and edit some photographs. :)

Peace!

She Shines...Inside and Out.

I had a wonderful time with a beautiful young lady recently, and she gave me the privilege of capturing the beauty of her heart as reflected in her gentle spirit and bright personality. :)




The lighting was simply amazing and her pink dress was the prefect compliment to the green hues within the field. :)






My favorite photo of the session! :)


And of course an outtake... ;)
Thank you, dear Annah, for giving me a glimpse of the beauty that shines through you of the love, life and grace of our Savior. It was so much fun and I can't wait to do it again! :)
