There is a fun site called “Capture Arkansas” that allows you to upload your photos and compete in various challenges. The theme of February was “Romance” and I received the “Editor’s Choice” award! Yay for a $100 gift card to Bedford Camera! It is extra sweet because this photo is of my sister and her husband! Amelia is always my favorite model!
I am often blown away at God’s story of photography on my life. I say His story for many reasons. I never would have gotten into it had it not been for my mother-in-law dragging me to a photography class or for my friend Michelle giving me the needed encouragement and push at each critical level. I’ve told you that God has used photography to help in the healing after losing my sister, Kiley. I am daily amazed because I don’t do marketing (except for an occasional post on Facebook) and yet God brings me the perfect amount of business.
It has been God’s gift to me, this thing called photography. He has allowed me to see His goodness through the lens and then He gives me the grace to share that goodness with you all. I will never forget the day I was down on my knees, crying my heart out to Him for this new adventure that I was about to embark on. I was terrified of charging money and possibly messing people’s images up. I was full of fear and doubt. So, I surrendered the idea of photography completely over to God and told Him to make it look like what He wanted.
I pray my business and images always point to His amazing grace and glory. I know it is His favor that allows me to be a part of your lives in this way. Thanks for being with me on this journey!
