This one’s hard. But it is part of my testimony.

This is just one of the burdens on my heart to speak about. It’s one that’s fresh. It’s one that I’m still wrestling with and asking God for discernment.

AI, just like social media, TV, and really anything else, can be good tools, but they can also be a slipper slope into outright sin.

This is where I land:
✨I want to seek the Lord FIRST before running to any person or any tool. He is my Helper.
✨ I want to lean on the body of Christ! We are all part of the body, and others are filled with gifts that I need!

I’ve realized through this that it’s hard for me to ask for help, for fear of being a burden. But that is a lie!

My sisters in Christ, my husband, my pastor, my family, they WANT to help me!

The whole reason God called me to Filled&Refilled WAS to equip women to walk in their God-given calling, to let them operate in their gifts and shine their light!

But somewhere along the way I got lost. I couldn’t see the way.

But now I do! 🥹
Through prayer, repentance, the body of Christ, pastor ship, confession, healing, I can see!!

The vision now has a way through. It’s time to start walking in it!

Part 1: I’ve been wrestling with God for months. I heard Him loud and clear: ✨Arise & Shine!✨
But I didn’t know how to walk that out.

I was unclear and filled with anxiety and fear. Fear of man. Fear of the unknown. I felt like I was running out of time. God, hurry! Tell me how.

God had to deliver me from fear. He purified me in the process. He tested me before sending me out.

Now it’s time to share where I’ve been. Not so you can look at me, but so you can look to Jesus!!

He makes a way in the wilderness, and streams in the desert! He is the One you’re looking for. He meets us at the well, and tell us all we’ve ever done. He exposes but not to condemn us but rather to cleanse us and heal us. Then He pours out the Living Water of His Spirit and sends us!

It’s time to get back up again. He’s calling us to ARISE!

I don’t know if it’s because my kids are a little older now, but I cherish these sessions, these moments, these photos, more than ever in my 14 years as a photographer.

When I was a mom of a newborn, I could understand what my clients were going through.
When I was a mom of a toddler, I could encourage my clients that those long nights will pass.
Now that I’m a mom of big kids, I want tell my clients not to wish these days away, to truly cherish this season, to take way too many photos.

Because they really do grow up too fast 🥹

These days may be hard, juggling a toddler while nursing a newborn, but nothing feels harder right now than not being able to hold my boys as babies 🥹🥲 They’re way to tall to fit in my lap. They’re way too heavy to lift. I’ll keep trying anyways.

But now that I’m passed this season, I cherish it all the more.

During this session, I couldn’t help but smile looking at them play with their daughter and hold their son. These really are the good ol’ days!

In every season, these moments are priceless 🥲

When we said yes to Jesus, it wasn’t just a yes to receive forgiveness and salvation, although this is the greatest gift He has given us. It was an invitation to follow Him completely.

To leave comfort for conviction. To leave prideful pursuits for purposeful passion. To leave the world’s ways for The Way.

I have a strong conviction that Christian entrepreneurs can and should use their business to glorify God, to be a city on a hill, a light not hidden under a lampshade, to be the salt of the earth.

This won’t always look the same; there isn’t a perfect blueprint, but the Bible has so much wisdom, counsel and divine instruction.

When we leave the world’s ways and seek First the Kingdom of God, I believe and I have seen God can do immeasurably more than we could ever think or imagine doing in our own strength!

I want to ignite other Christian entrepreneurs to be bold about their faith in their business, to arise and shine, to let man see your good works so they will glorify God!

Just as Jesus called and commissioned his disciples, I believe God has commissioned us to shine through our business to a hurting world. To show the love of God. To stand for truth. To serve with excellence.

More than money, more than earthly treasures, there is an eternal purpose for our lives now, and I believe, for our businesses.

Are you ready to follow Jesus fully? Do you want to arise and shine boldly?

✨The truth about Beach Sessions✨
I absolutely love the beach, but as a photographer, beach sessions are hard… hard to edit, sometimes hard to photograph.

My very first beach session was so humid, my camera kept fogging up 😩 I didn’t know I needed to turn off my car AC and adjust it. The wind can be a nuisance at times. Sunrise can be cloudy, not clear. But guess what, I still love beach sessions!

This year was the first time I didn’t book a beach session on my vacation, and I felt like a failure. “Maybe I didn’t market enough. Maybe I’m not good enough. Maybe I’m too expensive.” All the thoughts.

But then I remembered, God knows what I need. He is my provider. And so I received this vacation just as it is: a time of rest, reflection, and enjoyment.

God is good because I did book a beach session in August 🫶🏻 So if anyone does want a beach session, just let me know your date!

Have you ever done a beach session?
