Some sessions leave you with beautiful images, and others leave you with a heart so full you can hardly put it into words. Today was one of those daysš„¹š¤
I had the privilege of photographing Danika Powell Tharpe and her sweet family today, but what happened before I left meant more to me than they will ever know.
Before we said our goodbyes, this precious family gathered around me, laid their hands on me, and prayed over me and our fertility journey. There I stood, not just as their photographer, but as someone they genuinely cared about. And goodness, what a blessing that wasš„¹
What they didnāt know was that Blake and I started another round of fertility medication TODAY. Another round of hoping, praying, trusting, and believing that maybe this will finally be our timeš¤
After everything weāve walked through, moments like today remind me that God places people in our lives for a reason. Sometimes those people start out as clients and somewhere along the way become friends who feel like family.
Danika, thank you and your family for loving on me today, for praying over something so incredibly close to my heart, and for reminding me that we arenāt walking this journey alone.
Photography has brought so many wonderful people into my life, but the friendships and genuine love Iāve received along the way will always mean more than any photograph I could ever take.
Today I went to capture memories for a family, and I left with a memory of my own that Iāll never forgetš¤
Hereās to another round, another chance, and continuing to trust Godās timingššš¼
