In the last year there has been so much change in my life. So much heart ache and pain. I sat at the front row of grief. Watching and feeling so helpless to those I love. Much later I experienced a different type of grief. A type I never knew even existed. With recent diagnosis in myself and with two whom I hold closest to my heart, this was felt heavily. It’s been hard. Ive kept much in. I have been oh so very quiet. On top of that the economy is … crap and is making life very hard. We can all agree here.
But in recent, I’ve heard God more loudly than I ever.
He said, be still.
So I did. And have been. Well, trying to anyway.
In my stillness I have found such beauty around me. I have learned to love the small and simple things. I have learned to seek joy and give all worries away. I have found myself where my feet are. I no longer see pain. I see opportunity to love. I no longer see hardship. I see opportunity to grow.
So what in the world does this post have to do with these photos?
I took this project on as a means to heal my heart. To bring it back to where I needed it to be. And thats that Heavenly Father looks at us as His children. Not some grown adults that are “independent” and “self sufficient”. We are his children. Learning and exploring life. We are growing daily and taking on this adventure He set us out endure.
I am grateful to have answered this sudden call to capture Tate. We all laughed the whole time! (Mainly, cause Tiye- His younger brother- was making us crack up!) This session was simple. It only lasted about 20 min. But, it was filled with joy and the best reminder that we dont need grand events that pay us thousands. We dont need to be well known and tackle all that life throws at us. We can keep it simple and still feel the light.
Be still. Find joy in the simple things today - you only have right now.

Thank you for calling me. You have no idea how much it means to me and how perfect the timing was.
