Some seasons are loud and full of motion.
Golden hour. Wind in the veil. Laughter spilling into the frame.
And some seasons are quieter.
Sacred. Slower. Holy in a different way.
This year, my story looks a little different.
Iâve said yes to something deeply humbling; carrying a baby through surrogacy for another family. A life entrusted to my body, held in prayer, wrapped in obedience.
Itâs not my child, but it is my calling for this season.
And because of that, I am choosing to slow down.
To protect my health.
To pour into my husband and daughters.
To draw closer to the Lord.
To be fully present in whatever time we have left here in Beaufort before a potential move at the end of the year.
Beaufort has been the backdrop of so many of your love stories, engagements under moss-draped oaks, weddings kissed by coastal light, babies cradled in quiet nurseries.
And now⌠itâs the backdrop of mine, too.
LoveNLight Photography LLC isnât disappearing.
Itâs simply stepping into a softer focus.
A sacred pause.
A holy yes.
A slower chapter written by faith.
Thank you for walking with me, in front of my lens and behind the scenes of my life.
With love and light,
Joelle đ¤
