I've been keeping journals since I was in the 3rd grade and I'm so glad to share some of my most intimate life moments with you here!  Here, you'll find inspirational and encouraging stories of me and other broken people like me. We are all jars of clay who have been afflicted in every way, but not crushed...struck down by not destroyed.  Here, you do NOT have the right to remain silent, so as you read, grab your favorite snack and drink and leave a comment...share YOUR story. I can't wait to connect with you in this beautiful safe space. 

welcome to my

journal!

DANIELLE TAYLOR | CHIC BROWN BRIDE | ATLANTA, GA | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

The first time I spoke with Danielle, it was to gush over the love we both felt in Kascha and Henry’s engagement session, which can be seen here. A woman after my own heart, she seriously can’t get enough of weddings and love! When she saw that there was a need for more wedding blogs […]

BEACH BABES | A MOTHER’S LOVE | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

When I first met Genieve, I caught myself staring. I mean…seriously, the woman is GORGEOUS. So when she told me she had two little girls, I thought to myself “oh goodness gracious, they must be as cute as button!” She may be a major in the United States Air Force and a certified Jiu Jitsu […]

VERSONA | MY LOVE FOR HAMPTON ROADS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m what you may consider “a girly girl.” I adore heels, cute dresses (with pockets!!), shoes, hats…EVERYTHING. But when it comes to fashion, there is one thing I adore more than anything. Accessories. Necklaces, earrings, watches, bracelets, handbags, scarves with fabulous prints and patterns….I love how they can take my most simple t-shirt and jeans combo […]

PHENOMENAL WOMAN | LIFE BEHIND MY LENS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

You know, I still remember the first time I discovered Dr. Maya Angelou. I was a little girl; a sixth-grader, wandering the aisles in the Edward L. Bouie Sr. Traditional Theme School library. Poetry and I had recently began to get know each other and I came across a random book of poems written by African-American authors. […]
