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!

MS. SHAVONNA | COVER GIRL | VIRGINIA BEACH | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

The first time I met Shavonna was the day she sat in front of my lens. From the first shutter click, one thing was very clear: She was a natural. She didn’t need much makeup, but when Dionne of D’Michelle Salon and Spa amplified her outer beauty, her inner beauty shined even brighter, allowing me to capture […]

MS. CANDACE | COVER GIRL | VIRGINIA BEACH | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

OPERATION JULY 12 | TINY TAM | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

I sat on the runway at LaGuardia Airport in New York City a ball of nerves as the crew announced yet another delay to my flight. I HAD to get to Charlotte and I had to be there by 1 p.m. Rewinding to last summer, Ethan reached out and told me he was ready to propose […]
