Today marks three months until the day I wake up, put on an ethereal floor-length white gown, and look in the mirror to see a bride. Three months until I will become one with a man that God spent 27 years preparing for me. Which is pretty awe-inspiring when you take into account that I’ve […]

I am not the first photographer who has sought to express their love of…well, love. And I trust I shall not be the last. This love of love is what drives many of us camera haulers to keep at the sport. The bashful smiles, the sweet kisses, the gentle hand holding, the tight hugs…all the […]

I know I’m not the only one that has attempted a grueling daily/weekly photo/blog challenge before. And hopefully I can’t be the only one that has utterly failed. Sometimes it’s just too much!! Sadly, you can’t very well have a 365 project if you only stay sane enough to accomplish 247. And 52 projects are pretty […]

“The years teach muchwhich the days never knew.” | Ralph Waldo Emerson | It crept up on me like a thief in the night, or a sneaky little brother, or a basset hound that sees a child with a cookie in their hand from behind…all the same, it crept up and I didn’t give it […]

That beautiful season… Summer… Filled is the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood. | Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | {Hope you are in the mood to tarry for a bit…this may be on the lengthy-ish side but sure to make you smile.

The only thing wrong with doing nothing is that you never know when you’re finished.  ~Author Unknown This illness does not lead to death. It is for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it. ~John 11:4 I have emerged, for a moment, from the sea of tissues, cough […]
