The Way Home

Traveling through life documenting what matters most to our home.

Vision

VISION…

Sometimes it is more about putting one foot in front of the other and taking the next step that is in front of you, than seeing the big full picture.

It may sound cliché that I chose the word Vision as my word for 2020, but that is what I desire, clear 20-20 vision for this year and my next 40 years. I can’t think of a better time to pursue new paths and begin dreaming again about possibilities for the future.

I’ve been thinking a lot about things in this life that we have to let go of, so we can grow. It may seem counter intuitive to give up control of one area of our life to grow in another, but often it is necessary to clear one space to make room for the next right thing.

I recently sat in a puddle of tears as I listened to this song after releasing and selling a business I spent the last 7 years building from the ground up. (I’ll save that story for another day soon.)

Let It Go

I won’t cheat on my future with the past.

-Fearless Soul

While I don’t know what the rest of this year, 5 years, 20 years will look like, I do know I am on the path I am supposed to be on.

Spread the love

SRP Image Competition

One of the best ways to grow in your field of expertise is by evaluating your experiences. Our Spoiled Rotten Photography franchise owners and photographers grow each season through our print competition. After scanning through the folders of thousands of images taken during a preschool portrait season, there are always images that rise to the top pulling at our heart strings. We personally evaluate our favorite images for authenticity, technical excellence, pleasing poses, impact, and composition.

Our SRP Image Competition is one of the highlights of our annual conference each year as we have a panel of professional photographers judge our repertoire of images providing feedback to help us grow as photographers.

Here are the 3 images I submitted for this year’s competition…

My Eye Is On You

In a year where I took an intentional break from a lot of portrait photography work to pursue other opportunities, I am thankful that I didn’t miss opportunities to photograph my own girls.

I entered this image, “Ready to Blossom” in our annual Spoiled Rotten Photography print competition because it makes my heart sing! It is more than a field of sunflowers ready to blossom, it is my baby girl who is living those tween years with grit and grace and it makes my heart leap to imagine the teen that she will soon blossom into.

Ready to Blossom

The Next Ten Years

Around this time of year, I always reflect back on this compilation of Holiday Cards I produced for my parents over the years and thought it was time I started a new post to house the next 10 years of life at Arkadelphia Acres for my parents. Each year we continue the tradition of incorporating […]

It had been fun to watch Sarah Beth’s idea of a Scooby Doo themed show come to life this season as the Chelsea show choir performed a solid show and brought home second place for their small mix division in all their competitions! I always enjoy capturing the many expressions of Sarah Beth on stage doing what she is so good at!
