since i graduated

i love capturing seniors. i never had a super boujee senior session so i love makin them feel pretty, seen, and special. it also gives me a chance to think about what my senior year was like. THANK JESUS i am no longer in high school. senior year for me was spent in college classes, work, and in a ministry. i was never in high school class. when i first made that decision, i was kind of sad. but looking back, i could not be more grateful for where i am.

if i was actually sitting in a classroom at my high school every day, i would not be a photographer. i would not have dropped out of fsu. i would not have been working in ministry full-time. i would not have the friends i have. i would not be dating danny. my life would look so so so different. wow thank you Jesus for getting me out of the classroom.

since i have graduated, i have become even more aware to how IMPORTANT IT IS to not listen to anyone’s opinions. your future is between you and God. i fought what God originally wanted me to do because i was worried what others would think. if i kept pushing God away, i would be miserable. the second i let God lead my life was the second i found my calling. He placed me in the best place at the best time with the best people.

so, seniors— i do not care what you parents want you to do. i do not care about what your friends say. i do not even care about what you want to do with your life. what i care about and what you should care about is what does God want to do with you after you graduate? pray about it and truly ask Him. His answer may not be what you want to hear. . . but it will be such an amazing future. trust in His plan, not your own.
