#repost I can start my day with a clear head and conscience because I slept that way the night before. #goodintentions #intentionalliving #pureheart #puremind #clearconscience #peacelikeariver

This weekend is a little hectic, and then things start to clear up for studio time. Let's shoot this summer. Don't have to be a model to shoot. Just show up with creative energy, bright ideas, and some outfits. #letsshoot #summer #onlocation #homestudio #photographers #models #muses #fashion #glamour #portraits #portfolios

#repost Another reminder for me to hold on, keep calm, and trust the journey. Grand things are on the horizon, and as I heard in church last night, the Lord will do great things. #patience #longsuffering #forbearance #waitontheLord

#repost #patience #longsuffering #forbearance One of my favorite Bible heroes, after Christ's example, is Job. Besides all the other virtues I have yet to learn and apply in my life, patience is the one for which I strive daily. Every day there is something new for which I must pray for patience. Sometimes it's patience to achieve a result or to obtain some blessing. Other times it's patience to endure some burden, trial, or shortcoming of my own. And still other times it's patience in dealing with others. (Mostly I pray others have patience in dealing with me.) Job, in all his losses and in all his suffering, glorified and justified God. If I can have a little taste of that kind of patience each day, it will go a long way.

Happy Father's Day. From my earliest years, my dad encouraged me to pursue photography, as he had done. And as a kid I was into it, had a setback, and stopped thinking about it. He never stopped encouraging me to pick it up again. He'd always say that I had an eye for it. (But he didn't tell me which one.) Since starting again as a teen, the camera has felt such a natural extension of my hand, that even to this day, I can carry fairly heavy cameras around and forget the weight is on my shoulder or in my hand. My father wasn't financially well off and left no will, so his death didn't profit me. Instead - and much better - his life and legacy did. As I continue to make my own way in photography and fashion, I'm reminded that his belief in my abilities and trust in my willingness to develop talent and skill in this field are driving me every day... Even on days when (gasp) I'm not shooting. Here's to fathers everywhere who love and believe in their children and who do everything in their power to let their children know their full potential and encourage them to pursue it. #fathersday2017 #artist #photographer #creative #models #muses #fashion #glamour #portrait #weddings #portfolios

#repost At times we're tempted to believe that we must feel 100% on all the time. Truth is that while we can expect and believe ourselves to be in top form always, know that emotions of any kind are human and therefore normal. Sometimes we feel as if we're not accomplishing all we can or experiencing all life has to offer. Sit with that feeling for a minute, and then move forward, beyond it. That's life. It's a cycle. Enjoy every part of it and take your time getting where you're going. #patience #virtue #faith #selfconfidence #blosom #bloom

#repost Freedom comes from letting go of your past, from living in the present for a brighter future, from resting each night with the knowledge that you're living your best life, from giving your problems and worries over to God. Your past no longer owns you, your presence is yours alone to cherish, your future is yours to create, your life is yours alone to live, and worries today rob you of tomorrow. To be free be genuinely you. #freedom #livelife #liveandlearn #learnandgrow #growandprosper #beyoubefree

There's someone in whom I became interested, so I prayed for wisdom as to how to approach her. Didn't get wisdom, so I prayed for a sign that I was meant to approach her at all. All signs point away from her. The struggle isn't getting what I want; it's accepting that what I want isn't for me and that God has something (someone) better suited for me in mind. #acceptance #heartmatters #letgoletGod #Heknows #trust #bachelorlife #notformuchlongerthough
