A Picture Really Is Worth A 1,000 Words

Every picture has a story to tell.

I have always loved the concept of being able to freeze a single moment in time through photography.

When I received my first camera, I fell in love after taking my first picture. Looking back, the quality of the camera was less than ideal, but it was enough to push me forward to explore the world of photography.

Since then, my passion has exponentially grown, and my knowledge has increased. I'm constantly learning new things to improve my skills and become a better photographer.

As I've grown, I like to see how I've improved and how my style has gradually changed. This is easy to do because every picture offers visible variation.

Also, one of the things I love to do is look back at old pictures for the stories they tell. Every picture has a story, and they can be used to keep memories alive.

That's one of the things I cherish about being a photographer. My favorite part of the job is helping people capture the special moments in life.

Recently, I was privileged to take photos of a proposal for two of my good friends. This was my first time shooting a proposal, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The smiles and genuine love shared between these two people was so evident, and I was able to capture some of that "magic" in picture form. These pictures will last a lifetime, if not longer.

Being a photographer becomes really humbling job when you think about it from the perspective that you are able to help people preserve memories in a very tangible, visible way.

But you don't necessarily need to be a photographer or own a high-dollar camera in order to store memories.

So, whether it be on an iPhone or "fancy" camera--preserve the special moments in life. Take a couple of photos, but don't forget to enjoy the moment.


Also, shameless plug... If you ever need a photographer in the Oklahoma area, I'd be more than happy to chat with you. You can visit my website to view my portfolio and find out more information.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
