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!

50 and Fabulous, A Mother's Love, Mothers, WOMEN

MAMA TERRY | MY MOTHER’S PORTRAITS

This is my mother. For those who don’t know, her name is Terry. She is an incredibly strong woman of God. A cheerleader. She loves to travel and is passionate about life. She is an encourager….a nurturer. She loves her children and has a heart of gold. And did I mention she was a member of the 50+ and Fabulous club?! I know…my mom is STUNNING.

MOM PORTRAITS | WOODBRIDGE, VA PHOTOGRAPHEREvery year, I photograph my mother because…quite honestly, she is the most important woman in my life. Selfies don’t do her justice. She is the love of Jesus personified. She is light…a force of nature. My mother is a single mom who raised three daughters. The strength and wisdom she has exuded over the years has made such an impact on my life. It is because of her that I have the courage to be me…to celebrate who I am as a woman. Growing  up, there were times where we didn’t always get along, but as I have gotten older, she has become one of my closest friends. The lessons she has taught me over the years has made me eternally grateful to God for allowing her to be my mom.

I capture my mother because I believe that she, like all mothers, deserves to exist in photographs. These portraits are just as much of a gift to her as they are to my sisters and me. These portraits capture the light and beauty she has within. My mother has an amazing spirit and I feel like as children we deserve portraits that can last throughout generations that show her spirit. These portraits are part of her legacy.

I love seeing her growth…her wisdom…her heart. I treasure this woman. She is one of my greatest inspirations and capturing her is one of the many ways I give back to the woman who has given me so much.
