"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God..." ~ Anne Frank ~ Good morning friends!! I am absolutely obsessed with this incredible photo shoot! This vision was brought to life and created by an amazing group of women @thebeautymarkgirls@summerbellessa@carolhannahbridal@redpoppyphoto@posiesflorals@reachelbagley my friend, you look like a dream!!! (oh and... I want my photo taken with a deer!!! ) Everyone, head on over and check out the gallery's of these creative gals!!
Happy Saturday everyone!! Several posts back, I shared a photo from a special shoot I did with my cousin. Our goal was to create 70s Polaroids with just my iPhone. I mentioned that I might share a few more photos and thought today would be the perfect day to do so. Friends, it's so important to not always wait until everything is safe and perfectly ready. Sometimes God is calling us to do something, but we want to wait until He reveals the entire plan before our eyes so that we can plan, prepare and not fear. However, God wants us to trust Him so completely and take hold of His hand knowing everything will be ok and that a vast adventure awaits before us. He leads us experience be experience - lesson by lesson. He reveals His plan one day at a time. Know that God is calling you to do something, just say YES now and trust Him for all of your needs, worries and fears. It is through our weaknesses that His strength and power is revealed.

Well... it's been a while. Last night I did a photo shoot with my sister... I don't know if I have mentioned this on here but besides running I Wonder Original, I am also a photographer. Well... I haven't done anything in probably a year. Sometimes you just feel God putting others interests in your life. Last night, however, I felt the urge to grab my big camera and go out and shoot. I was unsure of how things would go simply because I haven't really photographed anyone with my camera in a while... yeah a year! Guess what?!? Everything worked amazing!!! The lighting, posing, styling, AND even the dreaded editing went SPLENDIDLY!! Really... it was an evening and moment that I keep pondering. Normally I am never satisfied with my work. I hate editing because I can never make it look like so and so or my camera skills are not what I wish they were. But you know what? I didn't feel that way this time! It's almost as if God led me away from photography to find who I am as an artist and my style. I've been out of the popular photographer loop and was able to think about what I liked... and not try to be someone else. It felt amazing!! Friends, sometimes it's good to walk away... to quiet your life and listen to God. Believe me, I am so glad he pushed me away from a great passion of mine to bring me back to view it in a new beautiful light! If you take away one thing from this story or this account, let it be this - Let God be the great Shepherd and put ALL of your faith and trust in Him!!! Walk by faith and not sight! You all are amazing!!! (oh and should I be jealous that my sister looks like Stevie Nicks?!?)
