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!

“There is a time to be silent and a time to speak…” -Ecclesiastes 3:7 If I’m honest, I never thought this would be part of my story. I mean….sure I was a product of it, but that didn’t mean it would happen to me. Nah…this DEFINITELY wasn’t supposed to happen to me. I mean, I […]

Trusting God with the Pieces

Coming to a true place of surrender is a process. It’s not something that just happens overnight. And let me tell you this process is NOT easy. It’s a day by day…hour, by hour, minute by minute…shoot sometimes it’s a second by second process. Why? Because it’s a battle of the flesh. But let me tell you: it’s in the surrender that you really see God. My puzzle isn’t even closed to being finished. But just like my life, one day it will be. And when it is, I know it’ll be a beautiful masterpiece…all because I chose to surrender to the process.

BABY ADELEYE MAKES THREE | ATHENS, GA MATERNITY SESSION

Pregnancy and motherhood are the most beautiful and significantly life-changing events I have ever experienced. It has taught me the important necessity of living in the moment, giving (and receiving) grace, being at peace and surrendering the things I can’t control. It’s humbled me in ways I wasn’t quite ready to be humbled and because […]

THE WAYS | HENDERSON BEACH STATE PARK FAMILY SESSION

There is something really magical about the sunsets here on the Emerald Coast. It’s honestly one of my favorite times to be outside or sit at the beach. The colors are peaceful, I feel especially close to God and everywhere you turn, the scenery looks like something out of a painting. So naturally, photographing these […]
