Mary and Eli – Mesa, Arizona Wedding Photographer

April 22nd was such a wonderful day. It was my mother’s birthday. And this lovely couple’s wedding.

Mary and Eli’s wedding was such a breeze. Two gorgeous, easy going lovebirds, awesome families, and a day of celebration.

Congrats, Mr. & Mrs. Robbins.

a little bit of inspiration

i hope everyone doesn’t mind, but i’m going to start using this blog as a place for inspiration, art, styling, etc. a little more.

as always, i will post my own photos, but i really feel like i should start recording the things that inspire me and sharing it with all of you, in an attempt to spread the inspiration.

i shall start with this:

how fun would it be to get to do things like this all the time? fashion photography…? hmm.. stylist..? hmm.. awesome? uhmm, all of the above? heck-freakinn-yes.

and who doesn’t love the Girls With Glasses Show? they are so adorable. brooke white.. sigh, i’d love to walk a mile in her shoes.. she’s got some CUTE pairs.. :]

i’ll start posting more often i hope. i’m kind of a bad blogger.

until then,

bonsoir, étoiles.

My hands are small I know…

New blog and website design. It’s not quite 100% me.. And I wasn’t done editing it but my computer crashed. Of course…

I’ve had a lot of thoughts going through my mind lately. As I’ve been thinking about what I want to major in {I know, I still have time to decide}, and with all the technical problems going on, I can’t help but feel like I’m not supposed to be doing JUST photography. I feel like there’s something else in store for me. I’m trusting that God will lead me to what I’m really supposed to do.

I know many people will say, “WHAT?! You HAVE to do photography, it’s what you’re good at.” I’ve gotten that a lot every time I say I’m not going to do photography full time. I’m not saying I’m quitting it altogether, I’m just not making it a priority, because I feel like there is something better in store for me.

I’ve always planned out my whole future. What I’m going to be, how many animals I’ll have, how many kids, how many bedrooms in my future house; always expecting it to work just as I’ve always planned. Well, life doesn’t ever work that way. All of my childhood dreams have not come true at all really. But I’m okay with it because I’m happy with my life and all the surprises it brings. I’m going to stop planning my every move, sure I’ll make goals, but I’m going to stop trying to force everything to be the way I want it to be. I’m going to trust in my Heavenly Father and believe that everything will work out they way He wants it to.

Maybe someday I can make photography my 100% goal. But for now, it’s just not in my hands.

I can say I am so excited for college and the learning experience I’ll have there. I plan on taking quite a few different classes {music, fashion, graphic design, etc} to figure out what is for me. I cannot wait to see what comes of my adventures.

And don’t worry, I still have to finish up all my recent photoshoots, so expect another preview for Mary and Eli’s wedding and for the vintage shoot hopefully today.
