Always Photography

I walked outside today to find that my irises has bloomed overnight. My first thought was, wow! How pretty are those?! And those colors? Gorgeous!

Then I saw a deeper meaning. I did a quick search and found that the iris is used to represent faith, hope, and admiration. In ancient Egypt, the iris represented victory. In Greece, it was seen as a bridge between Heaven and Earth. It's symbolism means "rainbow" due to the variety of colors they bloom in.

And then I thought wow. There is so much more to my iris blooming on Easter morning than I thought!

Today we remember that Jesus has victory over death! He is our bridge between Heaven and Earth. God gave us the rainbow as a covenant that His bow would no longer be aimed as us, but instead wrath was redirected. Redirected through His sacrifice.

All these thoughts... From what many would see as a simple flower.

Keep your eyes open, ya'll. God and his beauty and symbolism is truly everywhere.

Happy Easter! 🌸🎉

The sweetest family and one of the most rambunctious children you will ever meet! 😆

Love when I get to spend time with these special people! They are truly some of the best! ❤️

Last year I had the absolute honor to take this guy's graduation photos at my Alma Mater!

He was so fun to work with and has become one of the absolute best 2nd grade teachers!

Keep on rockin', Matthew!

Just a very quick springtime photoshoot back in April! Sometimes all you need are a few good headshots! 😘

I'll be honest... Weddings are exhausting! But I absolutely LOVE them! I feel such joy and honor when I'm the one chosen to capture this special day for others! Thank you to the Alexanders for allowing me to capture this moment in time for you! ❤️❤️

It's always one of my favorite times when I get to do these yearly photos for my second family! 💜

Always fun getting to help capture these memories for this group of great people! 😁
