Playing along with the Photo Play at High Calling Focus. This play’s theme was ‘conversation’ and I thought of this first look photo that I took at my sister’s wedding.

So this isn’t exactly an experiment in lighting, but I thought I’d share it anyway. The clouds were so amazing after an afternoon storm a few days ago.
I haven’t shared many photography sessions lately. I love taking the photos and getting them to the clients, but then things like writing and being a wife and mom and friend take up my time so sharing new sessions goes by the way side. I’m okay with that really. Today though I thought I’d share this cutie with you. Hasn’t he grown? I’m excited about his one year old session in a few months.
This is L. One of my favorite girls. She reminds me so much of me when I was younger. She’s the one I call when I just want to have fun taking photos with no pressure. I wanted to participate in the photo play over at the High Calling Focus and had certain ideas in mind. So off we went. As I was thinking about this week’s Photo Friday theme I kept thinking back to these photos of L.
That age where you’re not quite an adult, but you’re making plans to be. Anxious to find your own wings yet hesitant. So many plans we make and think about at this age. Plans for college. Wondering which career path we want to explore. Dreams of all those plans in life ahead of us. College, marriage, children…….
Some days I’d like to time travel back to that age. I’d tell myself to slow down, count each gift, and give thanks for each. I’d tell myself that my identity is found in only One who can complete me. I’d tell myself that making plans are okay. Just don’t hold on to tightly to those plans. Because while we’re busy making those plans we may miss out on the plans for the life God longs to give us.
Thanks L for being my model!
Linking up with xoxo, Trina for Photo Friday.
As I was running Wednesday I saw what would have made the perfect romance shot for this week. An older couple walking around the track. Somewhere along their walk he took her hand. So sweet. But alas I didn’t have a camera or even my phone with me.
So this one from my sister’s wedding will have to do. Does it just scream romance. Probably not, but I love it because of her expression. Probably not her favorite one, but it makes me wonder what was happening that made her laugh so loud and expressively.
I’m linking up for Photo Friday over at xoxo, Trina.
