Summer was a grand adventure.

In a lot of ways, this summer played out completely differently than all the rest. Instead of slowing down as I hoped, things were quite the opposite…and I didn’t mind that one bit. + worked and worked and worked. + spontaneity and lightheartedness for the heck of it. + nights out and good times. + […]

I will see the goodness of the Lord

Before school came to a close last year, I was fortunate enough to become a part of Chick-fil-A and work behind their counters. These past 12 weeks have been pure bliss. I absolutely love my job and I am so grateful for every moment I spend at the store. Wonderful people who make my time […]

Twenty Three : July

“Grace carried me here and by grace I’ll carry on.” Twenty Three : July 2013 — I swear I say something along these lines whenever I talk to someone in person or write something on here. but man, does life feel like a whirlwind, and from the looks of it, things don’t seem to be […]

Angie & Kelley // Marietta Square Portraits

arrow

Could I be the first to say that Marietta Square is one of the neatest places, ever? Walk down one street and you find yourself in some timeless-feeling, ancient place..and walk down another and the vibe is completely different; as in like a retro, hipster wonderland.

Life lately has felt like an unpredictable sea in the midst of a dark, trying storm… A storm where seeing a foot in front of you is nearly impossible.

Words that struck a chord

“We love because He first loved us.” — 1 John 4:19 Those are the words that struck a chord on my heart this past week and all I have been able to do is mull them over. It is incredible how humbling and powerful a sentence or two can be. I love Jesus because he […]

When things don’t go as planned

arrow

“Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” —Psalm 27:14 There’s a lot in my life that happens unexpectedly. And when things don’t go as planned, I start to panic. I am a huge planner. I think making lists is insanely fun, and having every aspect of my life […]

I live a not-so, glamorous life.

arrow

I’m a sixteen year old girl who prefers to listen rather than talk. I have a quiet voice, but when I sing to myself or shout loudly, heads turn, which, makes me uncomfortable. And I reaaally don’t like being outside of my comfort zone. I only play the piano when I think nobody’s listening, I […]

Meredith // Kennesaw Mountain Portraits

The same day that I went to take Blake and Mallory’s Portraits at Kennesaw Mountain, Mallory’s sister, Meredith came along. Of course, I wanted to take some photos of her, too. 🙂
