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!

CHRISTINA OF CHRISTINA BARNUM PHOTOGRAPHY | HAMPTON ROADS HEADSHOTS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

Being booked by anyone is an amazing honor, but there’s something truly special about working with a fellow photographer. Which is why working with such an amazing military spouse, SUUUUPER GORGEOUS mother and crazy-talented photographer like Christina of Christina Barnum Photography  was SO much fun!! The thing I like about Christina is she doesn’t follow the rules. […]
