Mark my words...

I'd like you to meet Jean-Marie Martin.  She is an adorable, aspiring model.  This session with her was my first of this kind, but was soooo much fun!  She's got spunk, personality, and not to mention...photogenic!

I hardly had to tell her when to pose or what to do or when to smile.  This girl is a natural.

Mark. my. words.  This girl will be on the cover of a magazine someday! 






What did you want to be when you grew up? 
a pilot?
a teacher?
a pro baseball player?
a mom & wife?

I wanted to be a flight attendant who flew all over the world...until we had career day and they said I would be too short. Go figure.  Now I see short flight attendants at the airports.  Huh.  Guess God had other things in mind for my life. 

I didn't want to be a photographer when I was growing up.  That wasn't a goal or dream until I was an adult...

But God has answered two prayers (heart's desires) in this...

1. Through Him allowing me the success of this photography endeavor, I have still traveled the world, even if it wasn't via airplane assisting people with their peanuts and complimentary soda.  Who would have thought?  Short, me...whose dream of traveling the world was squashed because of height, has still managed to reach Germany, Netherlands, China, and now Russia through this photography blog.  God is good and amazing.  Who knows where He's going to take me! Or where He will lead Jean-Marie.  But, I do know this...He will give you your heart's desire, just in His time. 

2. He answered my heart's desire. 
I've wanted to dive into photography for a long time, but never had enough confidence to just do it even though it was my heart's desire. 
In HIS time...he made it so.

"Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"
~Psalm 37:4

Mark my words.
