six years of KAP being full time!!! ⁣
what a gift and an honor. ⁣
⁣
i see the words i wrote six years ago and several things popped into my mind 🥹 ⁣
⁣
the first — oh, sis. it’s not “just you” now. ⁣
He will go with you. ⁣
God will put your name in rooms you could have never done. ⁣
this isn’t an only you effort. ⁣
you may feel like it’s all on you — but it’s not. ⁣
you serve a burden carrying God and you will exchange it for a light and easy load. ⁣
⁣
the second — those questions? they still stick around and pop up time to time. because you’re human. and in the Lord’s kindness, He answers them again and again with His provision. ⁣
⁣
the third — you found out. you absolutely found out that He will provide every. single. month. for six years straight. what a gift! ⁣
⁣
the fourth — the gratitude still remains. if you’re reading this — THANK YOU. you’ve allowed me to walk in my calling and to truly delight in my days. ⁣
⁣
there’s nothing else i’d rather spend my days doing than serving your families & businesses. ⁣
⁣
here’s to another six years and beyond. ⁣
thank you, Jesus 🤎

okay — say less.

i. am. not. over. these. mini. sessions!
comment MINI and i’ll send you all the details so you can have these images for yourself!

these How He Made Me Minis have just been making my heart swell!!!!

giving these kiddos celebration and just calling out what is so sweet in them!!! to name how the Lord has made them!
to stop time in this season and document what they are loving.
to see their relationship in this season.

it's just been so good!!!

these are still happening all through march and april so if you want to pause time for your babies - just comment MINI and i'll send you all the details so your babies can see themselves too!

when just a few minutes of your life looks like this🥹

that's the thing i love most about my job.
i get to give you back your life.

i just won't ever be about curating something like i am shooting for a magazine or something -- nope! that's not my heart.

my heart is to give you back what your actual life looks like.
i am shooting for 10, 20, 40 years from now when your babies hold these images and they see the mother you were.
their childhood.
the way their dad loved you.
and them.
how their smile has always been contagious.
how they see the way they fit into your family like they always belonged.

that's what i am shooting for & giving back to you.
it's not about a curation.
a pinterest board.
a vision.

it's about what is already good.

i can raise my hand and in honesty say — i am not a summer girlie. ⁣
i don’t love the heat. ⁣
i don’t love the feeling of not being able to get comfortable temperature wise. ⁣
i am not a massive fan of the bugs. ⁣
don’t get me started on the ticks…⁣
⁣
but you know one of the things that make me excited for it?? or at least, have vision for it?! ⁣
⁣
YOUR STORIES. ⁣
the longer days. ⁣
those of you who love it! ⁣
those that struggle coming back to that warmth and promise! ⁣
the way your kiddos have so much child like play in them! ⁣
the way the golden sunset falls over your family. ⁣
the flowers. ⁣
the green. ⁣
all of that. ⁣
⁣
so i’m putting this on my feed as a reminder of how every season carries good 🫶🏻🌱☀️

He uses it all 🫶🏻

what a good, good Father!

i’ve truly won the lottery 🥹🤎🫶🏻

all i can think about is all the moments that i have gotten to document and that when when we look at them - it causes pause to type words like these.⁣
⁣
that seeing YOUR LIFE makes you react this way!⁣
that's all that's happening! ⁣
that's all i'm doing...⁣
⁣
𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚 & 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨.⁣
⁣
it's your own life you're responding to!⁣
you just finally got to see what it looks like from this side! ⁣
⁣
i've won the lottery getting to do this. ⁣
this is the gift!⁣
THANK YOU.⁣
⁣
i can't wait to do this so much more this year!

i recognized that doing business WITH HIM was what 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.⁣
⁣
𝗛𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲. ⁣
i get to come alongside Him and see Him as the Host!⁣
i am the guest in all this.⁣

𝘀𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗱?⁣
⁣
𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗾+𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 - each month you will have the opportunity to submit ANY question and we will dive into it on a group coaching call via zoom! it’s recorded as well if you can’t make it live :)⁣
⁣
𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘀 - this is a safe place for you to ask any question and get peer to peer feedback any time! (it’s like a facebook group - but you can actually trust the advice!)⁣
⁣
𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝗧𝗦 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 – i think it’s wildly important that we see what real business looks like in real life. not just the ideals. but the every day stewardship of stewarding a business with the Lord alongside of us. that’s what i’ll be showing in stories - how i get to do business without the constant stress.⁣
⁣
𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗹𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲 - every month we will have a theme to just keep top of mind, chat about, ask each other questions and grow in intentionally. ⁣
example: the booking process, finances, aligned marketing, preparing for fall, etc.⁣

⁣
they read each other letters while holding each others hands so tightly. ⁣
they didn’t let go until emeigh asked if they could close their eyes and just hug 😭⁣
⁣
there wasn’t a dry eye. ⁣
their love was so evident. ⁣
it was more than just words. ⁣
all day long you saw it displayed in fullness. ⁣
the way they continued to choose each other. ⁣
it ended with their pastor praying over them. ⁣
⁣
i won’t ever get over getting to see these parts of yalls lives. what a gift!! 🤎
