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!

To say I had fun celebrating our birthdays and just being there is SUCH an understatement. Quite honestly, and understandably so, traveling 11-14 hours across country makes me a little tired, but let me tell you […]

MS. MAYA| COVERGIRL BEAUTY | SACHEL SAMONE |ATHENS, GA PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

When it comes to Maya, I honestly can’t sing her praises enough. To be honest, I’m can’t remember how I met her, but I have no idea it was part of God’s plan that we crossed paths. She has been the hair and makeup artist behind most of my shoots so to FINALLY get her in […]

BAG LADY | LIFE BEHIND MY LENS | SACHEL SAMONE | PORTRAIT AND LOVE PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m not a big talk show person. Mainly because I’m always busy, but a few days ago, I took the time to watch a clip from “The Real” where they were talking about baggage and…well, it really touched my heart. And it inspired me to have diarrhea of the mouth and say what has been […]
