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 are times when I feel like I’m not good enough and the mistakes I’ve made far outweigh the success I’ve experienced….You ever feel like that? It seems that when I’m feeling like that, something will always happen to me where Jesus literally slaps me […]

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

I first met Tiana last year and immediately I realized just how naturally beautiful she was. With her petite frame and fiesty personality, I just knew I had to capture the woman she was. We began to coordinate her session and within weeks, we were getting together…ready to have a great time. I could tell she […]
