Craziness!! {A bit of a personal post} :: Greensboro, NC Photographer

That's what life has been lately...pure craziness!! In good ways and in not so good ways. I haven't been around on the blogosphere lately cause of all of this. But here's a quick update on what's been going on and where things are going. As a lot of my friends and family know, my husband and I had a pretty big hit to our income and we have been struggling to figure out how we're going to recover and make sure our finances don't completely fall apart. All I can say to that is man God's good! We have had people left and right helping us in any way they can! When God says He will provide and money will come out of nowhere He wasn't kidding! It's been so humbling and amazing to see how this is going to work out. Jason and I are trying to find different ways to provide for each other and Harrison and God has definitely blessed that. It may not be in ways we had thought or had planned, but it's happening. We're still trying to figure everything out, but this has made us realize our need for God more than we had before. It's always good to be reminded, even if it isn't in the most pleasant way!

Due to all of this change it has made me realize my intense desire and passion for photography and the fact that I am good enough to grow this business and let it be another source of income for us. How awesome to be able to do something I love AND get paid to do it?!?! Pretty awesome! I was already pretty blessed to work with the most adorable and sweet little ones and families that I do...so adding in photography just feels too good to be true!

I have so much work ahead of me...I know a business doesn't bloom overnight. I have a LOT of tending and growing and shaping to do. But I think I'm off to a great start...and it's all due to the blessings God has given us and this desire in my heart, as well as how extremely supportive my family and friends have been with this new endeavor! Especially my husband. He believes in me so much, and that makes pursuing dreams so much easier! Even if I fail or have a lot of bumps along the way, he's always pushing me along and encouraging me. Thanks baby!!

I have quite a few posts coming your way in the next couple weeks! I need to share with you all some past sessions that I have done for some wonderful (and extremely photogenic!) clients I have had. I also have a couple charity events I have been asked to photograph, which is going to be so awesome! And potentially stir up some more business! Tomorrow I'll be photographing a Zumbathon where all proceeds go to a Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation. It's going to be so fun! Then I have a first birthday party for a sweet little boy to photograph! I can't wait!!

More to come soon! Be on the lookout!!

Kevin {Senior} :: Greensboro, NC Photographer

I had the privilege of photographing Kevin for his senior pictures. Graduating high school is a huge milestone and I'm thankful I was able to capture this time in his life! I have known Kevin and his family for a while now and I absolutely adore them! They are all incredibly giving and loving and don't even stop to think twice to serve someone else! Kevin is no different!

Loving the light in this one!

This is how Kev really is all the time! Cracking up at something!! :)

He takes his music seriously!

One of my favorites! Kev has a great smile!

Love the lines and texture in this one! Kev looks pretty good too! :)

Congrats Kev on your upcoming graduation! You are a great person and man of God and I can't wait to see where He takes you in life!

MIA {personal} :: Greensboro, NC Photographer

I have been so MIA lately! The past few weeks have been extremely long and draining. My family and I have had some major changes going on and we are just trying to roll with the punches and trust God and His infinite wisdom. He is so good to us, even when we don't realize it. Trusting in Him makes life worth living and makes the hard times seem not so hard. I am so thankful that He loved us all enough to sacrifice His son so we can live with Him forever in Heaven!!

I am also so incredibly thankful for my husband, who is my rock and always has this way of calming me down and helping me to see logic! And of course my beautiful little boy who just has to yell out "Ma-mee!!" and give me a big 'ole kiss and it's all better! I am so incredibly blessed with this precious family of mine!!

The loves of my life!

So incredibly blessed God gave me these two!!

Little man walking ahead....he thinks he's so grown!

"Doggy!"

Jason loves taking pictures too! He's still learning and I'm trying to teach him all I know (which isn't all that much! lol!) So of course, I had to make him a watermark and put his awesome shots on my blog!

Sweet boy!

Kisses!

"Give mommy kiss!"..."Noooooo!!"

I think we're looking at all the bikers that just whizzed past us!!

Just me!

I hope you enjoyed these photos of my beautiful family! I leave you with this verse that a friend texted me yesterday. I hope it encourages you as much as it encouraged me! We are loved by an amazing Father who will never, ever leave us!

It's a.... {Gender Reveal} :: Greensboro, NC Photographer

Some of our best friends are expecting they're first baby and we are so incredibly excited for them! Their journey to getting pregnant was a little bumpy, but it is so awesome to see God work through what we think are disappointments and see how very much He wants to bless us. It is all about His timing. And I must say, it is most certainly perfect! I was absolutely honored to photograph Tim and Jenn's gender reveal! Is it a boy?! Is it a girl?!

Boy or Girl?! Either way, they're happy!

Is it a girl?!

Which ones will they let go?!

Bye bye pink balloons!

Not a girl...

...IT'S A BOY!!!! Eek!! New dad is sooo excited!! (New mommy is too!)

My fave! 

Little man is so incredibly loved already! And not just by mommy and daddy...we love you too little boy!!

The picture doesn't lie!!

Love!

Baby boy's due date!

Seth & Meredith {Maternity} :: Greensboro, NC Photography

Ahhh...pregnancy. Seriously one of the most treasured moments in my life. Sadly, I do not have pictures to remind myself of how my body changed. I have memories...but let's be real...if you've ever been pregnant you know what gets remembered! It's not the amazing, magical memory of you growing a perfect human being inside your body! Nor is it how thick and luscious your hair got. Or that your skin was perfect for those 10 months. And everybody told you how beautiful you looked and that you were positively glowing. Well, all of the above is 100% true of Meredith. She looks absolutely perfect. Like God created her to specifically grow this little girl inside of her perfectly round belly! I am absolutely thrilled that I was able to capture her beauty as she carried this little girl inside of her. I hope she looks back on these pictures and remembers how amazing she looked. More importantly, I hope she remembers the little details of her pregnancy. Baby flutters, hard kicks, legs jammed in ribs, and those sweet baby hiccups! And lets not forget about her hubby, Seth! He kind of glowed too! I'm sure he can't wait to hold his sweet baby girl in his arms for the first time. And I know that he is absolutely amazed by his beautiful wife and the fact that she is carrying his child.

Sweetness

They are too adorable together!

And they love Starbucks!

Love, love this background and how perfect they coordinate with it!

Beautiful couple.

Gorgeous.

Top view!

Simply stunning.

♥

Love how peaceful and content she looks.

Perfect baby bump!

They are going to be wonderful parents!

Pregnancy. One of the most amazing moments in life. Congratulations to both of you! I can't wait to meet baby girl and capture all of the special moments that go beyond pregnancy and into the actual life that has been created! God is good!

♥, Victoria
