Sometimes life is really hard and you have never ending days of tears and doubts. So, I'm thankful for this man who committed his life to Jesus' love and to therefore love me. His patience and kindness is never ending. You are my greatest gift, lover. “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word..” Ephesians 5:25-26
I've been receiving a lot of "mom" acquires lately! Momma's, if you're wanting a relaxed in-home shoot to capture you and your family, contact me via my website! 👶🏼
Pregnancy is not glamorous. What I mean by that statement is not to be negative, but to really be honest, pregnancy is a full sacrifice. Your emotions, your body, your eating habits, your sleep cycle..that ALL changes. Stretching pains, an active kicking baby throughout the night, and tension in my back is mainly what I feel most of the time. All an easy distraction from the main purpose, which is this little life inside of me. Last night I prayed out, almost in tears, because my tummy was so tight and my ligaments are stretching more for this baby to have more room to grow. I asked that He would fill me with His peace and wisdom. I told Him I wasn't able to move forward without Him in every single step. Every time I am in my small amount of pain, I think of Jesus and His sacrifice. I have never felt closer to Him. This pregnancy has taught me so much already about becoming more selfless and has given me more of an awareness of the unknown. This gift of life does not cause this process to be glamorous, but it prepares me to reach past my limits and rely on Jesus' strength and sacrifice. All I know is that Jesus is very much alive and very much in love with us.
Raya is 23 weeks along and fully active! She is kicking, punching, dancing, and letting her momma know she is there. It's a surreal feeling! We meet her in about 4.5 months and that is completely surreal. I'm learning a lot about strength I never knew existed and that the Lord is the only one who can truly get me through the rest of this birthing experience. When I am scared or overwhelmed, I pray out and He reminds me of what my body was created to do. I love Him for His kindness and grace. It only goes up from here!
Engagement Session with Ulmer Studios
I met Josh and Amber Ulmer while they were in action at a friend's wedding a few years ago. They have been a constant inspiration, not only to the visual eye, but also in their vision to capture love stories. They are amazing friends, photographers, and people all around! I would HIGHLY encourage you to reach out to them for your engagement! I am so thankful they captured Paul and I. This website is not only to promote my profession, but the style and brilliance of others as well. You can view all of their work via www.ulmerstudios.com!
I created a honeymoon fund for Paul and I! We have had a long, trying year so far and are wanting a good vacation together when we honeymoon in Virginia in a few weeks! If you wan to donate to us, we would appreciate anything contribution! You can donate via www.gofundme.com/ariandpaul!
We find out the sex of #nuggetdavidson soon 👶🏼
Myyra Music
This post may be a bit bias since this is my fiancé, but I wanted to share the exciting news regarding his intriguing music called Myyra. Paul Davidson has been wanting to do music full-time for years now, but the last 3 have really been essential to creating his soon-released EP, "Erase. Rewind. Restart." This EP holds a variety of sounds in the alternative, synth genre. His unique sound gathers influence from The National and James Blake. His first single, "All About You" will be released next week, so be on the look out!
These were some photos I snapped of him a few weeks back. These moody portraits will hopefully bring the influence out of this mood-influenced record.
It's surreal to receive my own wedding invitation in the mail. Can't believe this is my life and I'm so blessed to have @pmdavidson be the man I get to do life with. Our beautiful invites were created by my sister @rzvasquez 💚💚
My Fundraiser
I have always been a very transparent person. Throughout the past few years my passion for photos and stories have collided, causing a reaction to the outside world. My audience has grown and grown through social media, allowing others to read my stories and allowing me to read theres in return. It has been so rewarding and life-giving to me!
A few years ago I felt led to give away my camera and all of the equipment with it. It was the best gift I've ever given and since then, I gave away a few more camera to help people follow their dreams! Primarily over the last few years, I have expanding into the iPhone photography world and now find myself in the position of the receiver. I desire so much to launch my photo profession and provide quality product for my clients. Photos are not just nice to have, but they are forever memories to cherish.
I have been thinking about this for a while now and didn't feel very comfortable with the idea at first, but the more I think about life and what it is really all about, the more this made sense to me. Relationships are the most important aspect of life! Giving each other the opportunities to grow in their creativity is so important and life-giving. I still tear up over the fact that I had the chance to give away equipment for people to have and start their passions. So, with this, I have decided to put myself in the receiver end and ask through a fundraiser. In this, I am asking for your support in providing practically for high quality photo equipment that will help me and launching photo profession.
I am currently about to become a wife and mother later this year, and I really feel like I need to fight for this passion. I have created a gofundme site and have a detailed story of what I need and what I will be giving in return for your generosity! This takes major vulnerability and I know what I am asking, but I promise I wouldn't ask if I didn't feel like I wanted to give everyone more of what my passion shows and represents; which is culture and relationships! If you help make this a reality for me, I promise it will contribute to my future family and to my heart's needs and desires. Thank you for reading this and even if you don't give, I appreciate you following along!
"God IS able." These words have challenged me in every process of my life lately. Being pregnant, planning a wedding, finding a home, working, and on top of that still pursuing dreams consume me every day. So much so that I've honestly forgotten that God IS able. I have felt defeated, a lot, lately. Last night I came across a Ted talk and this struck deep into my heart, "I realized being brave isn't supposed to be easy and for me I feel that is the key way of moving forward." So, being brave doesn't mean you have to have everything together, in fact, it means just the opposite. To me, being brave is facing the intense obstacles life throws at you, allowing yourself to feel them and go through them, but as a result moving forward knowing you won't always be in that position. I desire to be brave through all of this even though it's definitely not easy to stay positive. I used to be scared of being transparent because I looked at it as a weakness. The ones who have responded have brought so much hope to me and I thank you for your transparency and bravery in return. God is my provider, my teacher, my lover, my friend, my motivator, and my family. He is able when I am not.
14 weeks today and officially launched into my second trimester! The cons are I'm feeling a lot more motion sickness and have been more nauseous the past few weeks, which has been no fun at all. The pros is I'm finally gaining more energy, I'm sleeping better at night, and I'm starting to SEE my body grow 😍 I have so much more grace for motherhood and for mothers who have endured so much to create a family. It kicks your body hard at times, but the more I see, the more I feel connected to becoming a mother. #nuggetdavidson we can't wait to meet you and have you forever. Momma already loves you heaps💚
I'm still running my photo special for the next 5 days! Take a look at my website for info and we can further talk via email. This is from a fun shoot I did for @grnnypnts a few months ago 😍
Well, hello little nugget! It's nice to finally "see" you 👶 (sorry, not sorry for all the future baby posts..pre-warning for an unfollow)
A few months ago I peed on a stick, waited a few minutes, prayed, and saw a clear plus sign. The Lord silenced my mind a few weeks prior to this life changing event and clearly told me, "you are pregnant." It had been months since I have heard anything and He hit me with one of the most challenging thoughts a woman can begin to understand. Well, at least a woman in my place, whatever that really means in the long run. The last few months I have mourned, doubted, and feared every fear possible. Want to know what my main fear was? I literally thought to myself, "my friends and family are not going love me once they find out about this." What a LIE, but that lie consumed me for weeks after the news came crashing in. Sounds silly, but I was the most scared I have ever felt in my young adult life. I have been thinking so much about the root of that lie. For years, I was taught intimacy before marriage was like the path to destruction. So, my immediate connection was that this baby was created out of a place of destruction. Wow! So NOT what the Lord has thought or will EVER think! This baby, in so many ways, has already brought redemption to my thinking and feelings. Why am I sharing all of these thoughts with you? This is not justify myself or my actions because as far as I'm concerned God has gifted me LIFE. Pregnancy has its obvious challenges and they tend to be very uncomfortable for me, but how suiting! The gossip of Christ is literally growing within me. What a masterpiece and joy! So, friends, I choose life, not fear, because He has already formed in me the most unique, blessed baby. I am overjoyed to become a mother and this is just the beginning of a sweet, intimate testimony.

Nashville Folk
Folk Magazine came to Nashville and the lovely boutique, Sisters of Nature, hosted them. Folk Magazine basically started out of the fact of promoting a "folk lifestyle." So, if you love old mason jars, old postcards, wild flowers, world traveling, etc. then I would definitely take a look into what they are about. Here are just some photos of inside Sisters of Nature.
Also, if you live in Nashville and have never checked out SIsters of Nature, I would go ahead and do so. It is a warm atmosphere filled with tons of creativity from unique, hand-crafted jewelry to beautiful rugs made from Turkey. It's definitely a treasure box! You can find them in East Nashville located right on the opposite end of Barista Parlor.
