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!

ME AND MY GIRLFRIENDS | BEAUTY SESSIONS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

SACHEL SAMONE PHOTOGRAPHY IS TURNING 1!!! When I decided to start a photography business, I wasn’t sure what would come of it. I was merely doing what I felt God yelling at me in my spirit to do. I knew I loved the art of it, had a SERIOUS passion for it and knew it […]

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

The thing I like about Christina is she doesn’t follow the rules. […]

PHENOMENAL WOMAN | LIFE BEHIND MY LENS | SACHEL SAMONE | LOVE & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

You know, I still remember the first time I discovered Dr. Maya Angelou. I was a little girl; a sixth-grader, wandering the aisles in the Edward L. Bouie Sr. Traditional Theme School library. Poetry and I had recently began to get know each other and I came across a random book of poems written by African-American authors. […]
