First Bridal Portrait Session
So yesterday was my first bridal portrait session. The whole week was saying rain, rain, rain and Crystal and I were both wanting to get the portraits done before I went back to school this Saturday so we were praying for no rain. We first scheduled Monday but it poured, so we rescheduled Wednesday and it rained a little bit at first that day, but later it didn’t so we went ahead with it and...

The Father and the House
One thing that I always find unique are dreams.
Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve been extremely visual. The way I saw the world was in a way I could never tangibly express which is why I turned to drawing and painting and making things. Art has always been a visual expression of mine even if it wasn’t that skillfully great or even if it didn’t really make any sense....

Daddy's Little Girl
Somehow I got into finding my poetry that I’ve written. Most of them are really really cheesy and ridiculous from when I was 13 years old haha. But theres a select few I still like. This one was one I thought I’d share. Sorry It’s long.

"...But I always pick it right back up"
So recently I’ve been doing a little bit of shooting and a little bit of modeling and its been fun!
Earlier this month I was a second shooter for a wedding with head photographer, Steven Skelton. Steven is a photographer from Georgia and a friend of mine who’s been helping me out a lot lately with my photography. The wedding was extremely nerve racking and I’ve definitely...

I'm terrible with blogs.
I’m terrible with blogs.
I havent done a whole lot lately, but one late night recently I did a random photo shoot with some friends, Haley Patterson and Sahar Joudeh modeling prom dresses! Photographer and friend of mine, Jake Simpson came over also and helped out a lot! It was really fun, mainly because us girls got all ready in prom dresses and every girl’s favorite part about...
Zombies
I’ve been cleaning/reorganizing my room at home…. and I came across this paper on my desk…..
In my 2D1 class my first semester of my freshman year…. my professor always picked on me for random things… such as my “southern accent”. Well one day as the class was debating about zombies… yea… zombies. I mentioned how I despise zombies so OF...
Ivey
“And there we were
standing amid thousands of parents and families
looking… watching… waiting…
to see her…
and then she was there -
a tiny speck amid the sea of black cloaked graduates.
And as she began to look around the large colliseum -
searching for us…
we waved and waved and finally she saw us…
that tiny little speck with her big smile...
To a simple waitress
A few years ago when I was a waitress at a steakhouse…. I served a couple and their child… I believe they were my only customers that day. I eventually just sat down and talked to them for probably an hour straight. Talked about art, music, God, etc. The next day I got an email from them how they were glad I served them and some other things about art and music. At the end of the...
Dreams again.
My first Tumblr post, I said how I might talk about my dreams that I have. Which I havent yet. Mainly cause I don’t know if I want to.
I’m not sure about this whole year… but I do know that ALL semester I’ve had bad dreams, terrible dreams, disturbing dreams, or just plain weird dreams. I really do not know the cause of them. But they’re vivid and I’m...
Just You.
I’ve realized lately that I really enjoy helping people learn something they didnt learn before. Even if I do suck at explaining things! Teachers should be thankful for their gift of teaching!
Everybody has been given gifts. Everybody. Even people who think they have nothing to offer to the world. Personally I believe everyone has a spiritual gift given to them or at least it’s...

"The King is enthralled by your beauty..."
Through my struggles of insecurity and lack of feeling beautiful, I will not let Satan win as he trys to pull me down. This world’s idea of beauty is distorted and I will not focus my attention on their judgement of me. The Lord, my Father, with His own hands, made me the way I am for a reason with plans to prosper me and not to harm me. I am wonderfully made in His eyes alone and that is...
It Doesn't Have To Make Sense
Advice, quotes, inspirational ideas that I wrote down in a sketchbook during classes for photography….
Perhaps they might help someone….
Try things at last minute.
Take your camera and just go PLAY!
Pace yourself.
START WORKING!
You HAVE to have failures so it forces you to try again.
Really good art is about taking your guts out and putting it out for the world to see and just dont...

Dreams
Ah Tumbler? Not sure if this will work out for me, but I thought I might give it a shot.
So I shall blog… mainly because I’m procrastinating on studying for a Bio exam!
So I wonder about dreams a lot. I wonder if anyone ponders the same thing. I’m not talking about goals… achievements… not those kind of dreams… just when I lay my head down at night I am...
