Our annual family 4th photo:
Self timer mode, phone propped up top of on a trash can balanced with a rock; and 3 out of 4 of us are looking at the camera, so we can call it win! I wish I would have taken a BTS video because it was pretty hilarious! What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to get a picture? I wanna know.
Yesterday was the BEST day!
I hope everyone had a HAPPY 4th OF JULY. ❤️✨
I almost didn’t post this, but I couldn’t sit quietly while I made the craziest observation.
The other day my husband and I challenged each other to go one full day without saying anything negative about another person.
NO MATTER WHAT.
If that meant we had to walk away from conversations or change the subject, we did it! Through an IG poll, I invited YOU to join us. The response was overwhelming and over 1k of you said you were up for the challenge too.
Which was SOOOO AMAZING! ✨ After a huge response from YOU and feedback, I took it one step further and challenge you to one full day of “NO NEGATIVE SELF TALK” like self doubt, self hate, anything negative!!!! Ummmm.... maybe a 1/3 of you responded. The same amount of people viewed my stories, but not as many were on board with this idea. Which means one of two things:
1. You don’t struggle with ANY kind of negative talk. If that’s the case, then help your sisters out and tell us your secrets!
2. You make excuses for why it’s ok to speak poorly to yourself, therefore you don’t have a problem to “fix”. This is just my observation, but I feel like SO MANY times I hear women talk about why they can’t do something, or they think “IF ONLY, I was skinnier, smarter, came from a better family, finished college, had less anxiety, wasn’t so awkward, etc... Life would be good and I would feel good about myself... Sorry, nope. ♀️
Being skinny, rich, or smart doesn’t make you all of the sudden happy and positive.
You will feel positive and happy about yourself when YOU DECIDE to be positive.
When you decide to challenge your negative thinking and CHOOSE positivity instead.
I know someone needs to hear this.
YOU ARE WORTH IT right where you’re at, so that negative self talk needs to go. #byebye Outfit by @caliabycarrie #gifted

Do you believe in magic? I sure do, because photoshoots & art ARE magical to me; they both make my heart so very full & happy. In case you can’t tell, this #CrystalBall is actually a glass globe from @DollarTree And, the pinky/purple light leak border was achieved by placing dollar store items near the camera lens - aka it was NOT added via editing. Pretty cool, huh?! The possibilities are endless when you try the #DollarStoreChallenge (Not Sponsored!) @StephanieAnnPhoto is one of the most talented humans I know!

Hi! How are you?
I have been a in FUNK mentally the last month. I haven’t been taking much time for self care and personal growth; and I felt it.
This week I spent HOURS listening to podcasts, reading the Word, and just being silent. I was feeling so blah and uninspired and then I realized I hadn’t been “working on myself” like I normally do.
CAN YOU RELATE?
It’s amazing what a good “self check” and slow down can do.
I’m feeling so much better and refreshed after a week of focusing on my priorities and checking in on my habits. P.S- the @rrayyme Habit Tracker seriously has been helping!!!!! When was the last time you did a “self check” and evaluated where you are?
I hope you have a blessed weekend! I’m currently watching my kids swim and staring at the beautiful sky...
Just feeling grateful.
Much love to you, friends.
I hope you’re doing well. ❤️
These two amazing humans are on the blog, a long with other blog posts that I haven’t posted about so go take a look @ the link in my bio . •

Also, just curious, does anyone else get stressed or low key anxiety before posting a photo? I’m constantly worried about whether or not people will like it or if I’ll receive a good amount of likes. I know it’s lame, but I can’t seem to help those feelings ♀️ It’s probably why I don’t post as much as I should, and why I don’t post half of my sessions because I’m worried about if the color tones will “match” my feed or not. •
