I’ll be the first to admit that my good ole’ pal discouragement tends to find me often. Not that I keep him close by or even welcome his presence, but he is attracted to me. I must smell nice. Yeah, I’ll go with that.

I mean, wouldn’t it just be so much easier to give up and ignore the thing that is bothering you or change directions entirely? Sometimes I even get to the point of considering that very thing but am quickly reminded that I’m worth more and can punch discouragement in the face. I know what you’re thinking….”That sounds way easier than it actually is.” Well, you’re right. But thankfully, I have someone on my team that I can cast all of my cares upon. I can cast all of my heartache, fear, uncertainty, struggles…EVEN discouragement. My God is bigger than all of those problems and knows the end of the story. He sticks closer than a brother and is always on my side. I’m pretty sure that that fact alone is enough to encourage me even when I’m at my lowest. If you are curious about these statements or disagree entirely, feel free to email me. I want you to have the peace that I have in my Lord. It’s real and completely powerful.

Maybe the answer isn’t in the obvious distraction or even in the subtle noise of our day to day lives. Maybe it’s in the still small voice. (I Kings 19:12)

Thought I’d dedicate a post to sharing one of my very favorite products. This specific gallery wrap is a 16×20 with 1.5 inch sides. Perfect for hanging above your new married bed, the fireplace or in your office (you know, if you’re all single like me). If I were rich I’d order 5 for every room in my house that I would buy if I were yet again, rich. Oh and they make SUPER gifts. You know because Christmas is pretty close and all.

These can be added to any package. Interested or need further details? Shoot me an email at kristin@kristinpartinphotography.com.

Pretty much the cutest family in Virginia…or in this case, North Carolina. I’ve taken photos of Riley before and Morgan asked if I would be willing to drive down to the beach during their family vacation for a quick session. I was all…”you want me to drive to the beach and take photos of your magazine family on the teal blue water?! heck yeah” And so I did and here they are.

Since I’m incredibly behind on editing & sessions, I will resort to blogging on a Friday. These photos just make me really happy. The couple, location, her CARDIGAN….all of it. I hope you enjoy these as much as I do.

Kelly & I are driving to Durham, North Carolina for a wedding on Saturday and we’re pretty pumped. This wedding will be absolutely gorgeous. I’m sure of it. That also reminds me to be happy about posting Amy’s drop dead gorgeous bridals on Monday. She’s a hottie. Probably THE most random break 10 grammar rules post ever.

onto the magic.
