Roy + Indigo | Sibling Rivalry and Love

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Its always fun to rediscover my youth while shooting kids. Roy and Indigo were a blast to hang out with. After we had pizza and soda, we were all wired for at least an hour to power through this session. These kids are full of personality and had me laughing from the moment I turned on my camera.

Evaluating My Priorities (Why I Haven't Published My 2009 Goals)

Friday, November 13, 2009

Business
Marriage
Faith
Family

I'll explain the list above shortly.

If you have followed my blog for the past 3 years then you know that I typically keep up with my goals quarterly by publishing them to my blog. I call it "Keeping Me Honest." Its part of my 'write the vision and make it plain' belief. For all of 2009 my posts on goals have been noticeably missing. Why?? I have not been moved to publish them due to some issues I needed to address.


I do believe that God has blessed me with an uncanny ability to capture special moments in the lives of people with my camera. Even more, He has blessed me with an insatiable desire and gift to connect with people on a personal level. Most people can sense if your spirit is warm and inviting. I strive every day to use my talents and gifts to bring glory to my creator and to enrich the lives of my clients and readers.

What happens when you think that everything is going just great? What happens when it seems like life couldn't be any better? As a creative person with a need for structure (engineer turned photographer) I find that I can quickly snap out of a raging snafu to make rational sense of a situation. But what happens when it seems that you have everything figured out? You become the problem because You become too comfortable and start depending too much on You.

After some serious praying and a trip with no photo shoots to worry about I determined that my life was an ordered mess! One thing I promised myself when creating my business was that it would never rule my life. And it still doesn't. However, recently I did determine that my love for my career and thirst to excel was taking a toll on what is truly important in my life. I express in my workshops and career counseling sessions that one of the major reasons for my success is my willingness to work harder than most people I know and engineer unimaginable tactical plans. I am a self motivated person.

Although I consider myself to be humble, as I prayed there was a scripture I remember from my youth that continued to surface in my spirit. Proverbs 3: 5 - 6 Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path.

When I sat in my hotel room and started writing out the order of my life, I realized that the business had taken front seat and I knew that things had to change. I didn't make this decision because I felt that I was burning out. There are times when I feel like I have more energy than ever. Rather, this change was to ensure I am fulfilling my destiny in an order that gives all credit to Whom my blessings come from.

Faith
Marriage
Family
Business

I don't always do New Year's resolutions but a few weeks ago on Facebook I made a statement that I think about every day. "No more excuses...just achieve the fullest that life has to offer. I'm on my grind to take my family and business to the next level."

With God's help and your continued prayers I know that I will make it there.

Robert + Tia | Atlanta, GA - The Colorful Engagement Session

Friday, November 6, 2009

It was a joy shooting Robert and Tia's engagement session last week. They came prepared to match my energy level which says a lot! You'll remember from Facebook that I was hanging from the side of a bridge at one point...interesting. I always ask my clients to wear something comfortable to the shoot and that shows their unique personality. This session has personality written all over it. Colors, bikes, clothes, location, emotion..you name it. Check out more images below from the shoot!

I'll shoot the wedding next year in September and if this engagement session is a preview, the wedding is sure to be a riot!
