Are You Really Successful?

  • Ask Anything

I’m not going to say much here because I say a little TOO much on today’s video blog! Today’s post almost wasn’t shared. I recorded it and then I worried that what I was trying to say wouldn’t make sense. Basically, I wanted to share a little bit of my heart about some struggles I’ve had and some points of tension that I think EVERYONE experiences at some point in their business! If this resonates with you… SHARE IT!! Everyone feels better when they realize that they aren’t the only ones struggling!! In fact, knowing that we’re not alone makes us realize that we’re NORMAL!!! Enjoy this little piece of my heart and happy Wednesday!

David + Alyson

  • A Country Club of Virginia Wedding | Richmond, VA

The most beautiful thing about a wedding day for me is seeing a couple realize that they just started a brand new chapter of their life TOGETHER! David and Alyson’s anticipation for the moment when they were introduced as husband and wife made my heart so happy. These two are so in love and so joyful when they are around each other. Their pastor explained that these two are the type of couple that enhance other people’s lives by just being in them!! Michael and I call those “life-giving” couples. What a beautiful gift it is to have a relationship that points people back to God in so many ways.

Why I Shoot in Kelvin

  • Ask Anything

A sweet photographer at a recent coaching session said “I’m afraid to teach because what if I change my mind about something and then I’ve taught everyone something that’s WRONG?!” Oh I feel ya girl! It’s humbling being someone who educates. It’s scary to learn new things and then think “Shoot! But I’ve been teaching something different! gah! Now what?!”. You know what I think? I respect leaders MORE when they can back track and admit that they have found a new way of doing things that works better!
