Lucy

Loved shooting an amazing friend from Tennessee the other week! So thankful to have her in my life after seventeen years and I cannot wait to see the spectacular things God has ahead for her!

Grey & Jessica | Bolivia, North Carolina Love

I adored spending the day with Jessica and Grey at their Bolivia, North Carolina wedding. Seeing this beautiful couples love for each other and Christ blew me away. There is nothing more incredible to me than not only hearing about the deep love a couple has in speeches and conversations on the day of, but also being able to see, capture, and preserve it as well. The spazzy groomsmen had Sarah (my second shooter) and I dying the entire day, Jessica looked absolutely breathtaking, and the setting was perfect. I feel so grateful to have been a part of Jessica and Grey's day, and I cannot wait to see how their marriage flourishes in the years ahead as the God continues to bless their lives.

What Makes You Come Alive

As business owners, we become our own accountants, sales associates, graphic designers, managers, assistants, and (you fill in the blank). We become overwhelmed and stressed, because we try to play every role possible… typically under the guise of saving money or just because "we do it best." The truth is, when we try to do it all we become overworked and stressed, which leaves less time for us to cultivate the talents we initially founded our businesses on. We each have gifts to share with this world. When we chose to fill every role that is necessary in our businesses ourselves, we do our clients and ourselves a disservice.  

 I'm challenging myself this week to stop and refocus on what I do best. Whether it means hiring an assistant or booking monthly meetings with your accountant, do it. Let other people bless your clients by helping you run the extra areas of your business. So, ask yourself, what makes you come alive. Take time now to get back to the core of what makes you happy and why you started your business.
