I recently reread "Eat, Pray, Love" for the third time after going through a wildly intense and unexpected season of pain, transition, healing and growth in my life. The process of shedding an old layer and stepping into our new skin, while beautiful, can be excruciating and uncomfortable. My desire is to step out of [...]

Do Less // Let Yourself Be Blessed //
To say that it has been a difficult and challenging season would be quite an understatement. When some people are going through a tough time, they lay around on the couch and watch Netflix endlessly. While extremes aren't always healthy, sometimes I wish I could be on that end of the spectrum. Instead, the driven [...]
To The Human Who Said I’ll Never Change The World.
A couple weeks ago, I wrote an article (which you can read here) on the difference between being a world changer and just being opinionated. Essentially, my point is that I am an incredibly opinionated person, but I have found that no message will be heard, received, or valued if it isn't pure in motive [...]
Live {Laugh} Authentic
"A cheerful heart is good medicine." Proverbs 17:22 Today, I just have to share a bit about why I love what I do. When I lift a camera up to my eyes and begin to focus in on a person, my goal is to capture authenticity. Genuine moments...laughter that tells us a story...smile that have [...]

In fact, I’ve come to believe there’s something noble about doing little with your life save offering love to a person who is offering it back." -Donald Miller, Scary Close Recently, I have [...]
Beauty in the Threshold
While in NYC last fall, I couldn't seem to stop myself from taking a picture every single time I passed a church. They were all so uniquely beautiful...each door filled with detail...every threshold just waiting to tell stories of the lives that have come through. It happened instantly for me, this strange, impromptu church door [...]
The Power of Life and Death
A sweet friend of mine sent me the text above earlier this morning, and my heart absolutely melted. Each time I've taken the "5 love languages" quiz, words of affirmation always score very highly in priority for me. I know that I'm not alone when it comes to this love of beautiful words, as the [...]
God gives us more than we can handle.
"When Job lifted his face to the storm, when he asked and was answered, he learned that he was very small. He learned that his life was a story. He spoke with the Author, and learned that the genre had not been an accident. God tells stories that make Sunday school teachers sweat and mothers [...]
Boundless Joy.
"A reckless love too wild to understand Breathing the world to life in Your romance So here I am Your love has got me up in arms again And this hope won't let me go My joy is boundless My soul knows its worth In arms stretching wider Than my heart could ever fall You [...]
