Good news, Bad news

So today my day was just full of news, some of which I was happy to hear and some of which I was really bummed to hear. I was really working on getting my focus on the things the Lord has for me. The Lord has a plan to prosper and bless me. I am working diligently on trusting the Lord more and more and giving Him my concerns and worries.

Today was awesomely warm and made me want to get outside and do yard work. I am going to attempt to get outside tomorrow and get some yard work accomplished. I really want the outside of my house to match the inside. I have also discovered that getting your hands dirty outside and playing in the dirt is rewarding. Also, If I am outside working my boys are definitely outside playing. Luke and Eli would live outside when the weather is nice.

Tomorrow morning Jeremy has a very important meeting at work and I will be practicing trusting the Lord during his meeting until Jeremy calls me with good news. I am believing the Lord has good things in store for my family. I encourage all you who read this to take the time out and look around and be thankful for the things you have and the things that the Lord has blessed you with. "Lord, thank you so much for my family, my healthy, and blessings that surround me everyday." I am starting with trust tomorrow.

Wading the Storm

My husband and I are currently going through some rough times right now. (Not with our marriage, everything there is GREAT!) I feel like I am out in the middle of the ocean with the storms raging and all I have to hold onto is the safety of the Lord. I am doing my best to remember that God has always been there for us and always had our backs.

I have been throwing myself into my pictures lately because that gives me joy and peace. My boys are such a great distraction for me and give me such joy and laughter. Eli will just smile at me and I feel better. Today he was saying to me while I was having a moment, "You o-tay mommy" with a big smile on face. I love the care that my boys have for others.

I am just writing this blog to remind others to try and find the joy amongst the storm as I am trying to do now. God is faithful and always has been. I am learning patience and trust again. Loving the journey.

Photography Journey!

I have been diligently working on my photography business called Lauren Leigh Photography. I feel like I need to blog more so that I can post sneak peaks of photos that I am editing. I have created a professional video for people to view some of my portfolio and learn more about my work.

I have about five people lined up for this spring and I am enjoying the anticipation of all of them. I have discovered that I really do enjoy taking pictures. I also really enjoy capturing people's memories for them. I know how much I cherish each of my boys pictures so much and enjoy looking back at all of their milestones.

Recently I have discovered iMovie also which is a video editing software. I have been putting all of the little video clips of my boys into a small movie with music. I am going to offer to my clients the option of putting their pictures to music on a DVD. This will be a great option for some people who just want to watch their pictures as a movie.

I have been getting several requests for both pictures and video so please make you appointment today so that I can get you in for some great spring photos. This is the time of year to get some great shots. Thank you again for reading.

The picture below was of a little baby girl named Layknn. She was so adorable and I enjoyed capturing her little 6 week old personality. I hope I get to capture many more of her adorable moments!
