Senior 2011/ Julia…. Sugar Land Photographer

Something unexpected has come out of my photography business. When I started I thought how great it would be to get paid doing something I love, however I never imagined the strength in the friendships I would make. I will chalk a small portion of this up to facebook. (Because “literally” I gain a friend after each session) But in truth, through Photography, I have regained connections with friends who I haven’t seen since that last hug on the graduation field 16 years ago, I have made deeper connections with the families my children go to school with, those in my church community, and with total strangers whose friendship with me started with a phone number and a web address. All these amazing people have truly touched my life, because God gave me the gift of seeing the world in pictures.
So today as I post an amazing senior session, with the fabulous Julia, an “Angel” in more ways than one. I give this advice.
God doesn’t give a gift he won’t expect you to use,
If you find a lemon tree in your backyard, make lemon aid
If you see someone in need give them your last dollar
If a friend, hurts you, lies to you… forgive her
Prayer fixes everything, even if it just makes getting up off the ground a little easier
No matter how much you plan your life, God may have a different plan in mind for you.
It is not about who you are now as much as who you will be tomorrow.

I hope you love the sneak peek of your images as much as I loved making them! Have a fabulous Senior year!
Kristi

    These photos of Julia are incredible. I’ve never seen her looking more beautiful. You’ve really captured the heart of the amazing young woman that she’s become. I’m just glad that I’m not the one that has to choose between all of the photos.
