I Believe

As an entrepreneur, I believe it is so important for you to know, understand and trust the person you have chosen to capture your special moments in life.  To take a few minutes to understand my beliefs and how they have shaped and molded me into the person that I am today.  And while we won’t be a perfect match in every area of life, my desire is that by sharing my heart, you will be able to know this small piece of me and will be able to decide if we are destined to work together!  Thank you for taking time to really understand who I am as a person, a photographer and a friend.

I believe that everyone should feel loved and cherished.

I believe in standing up for what you believe in and holding on to what’s right and letting it change you for the better.

I believe in showing people they are beautiful and {through photography} letting them see themselves just as other people see them.

I believe that with every new day comes new opportunities which are a gift from God to be used first to glorify HIM and then in turn, to positively influence those around us.

I believe in tears.  Happy tears.  Healing tears.  Tears of frustration and tears of joy.  Tears of a broken heart and tears of compassion for a hurting friend.  Anyone who knows me well, knows that I cry all kinds of tears.

I believe that family is a priority over business.  And although somedays I fail, I want them to know how important they are to me.

I believe in being wrong sometimes.  It’s impossible to be right 100% of the time and living life with a humble attitude can and will make you a more beautiful person.

I believe that laughter and joy should play a role in everyday life.

I believe that true and lasting joy comes from knowing and loving Jesus.  I believe that because of His sacrifice, one day I will be dancing with Him in Heaven!

I believe in the strength of a true friendship.  The kind that lift you up, fill your heart to the tippy top and that inspire you to be a better version of yourself.  I believe in being THAT kind of friend.

I believe that life is made up of so many teeny-tiny details that should never go unseen or be forgotten.

I believe in humility, honesty and kindness.  And that living with these on the forefronts of our hearts will change the world around us.

I believe in capturing real moments and turning them into beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

I believe in being present, purposeful, dependable and intentional in every moment possible.  This is definitely a challenge, but a worthy one.  A day wasted is a day lost.

I believe that encouragement is good for the soul.  Good to receive, but even better to give.  Never walk away without filling up someone else’s cup.
