Last month I had the immense privilege of photographing my sweet friend Kathryn's studio for her new website. She's the creative genius behind my own site and brand. She is such an inspiring artist. I loved being able to see the space where she creates such beautiful things. Seeing all her brand sketches blew me away. I don't know anyone else who puts as much creative effort into their creations. She has a talent for producing timeless and classic looks. I mean, the girl just knows what she's doing. Of course, I adored her white on white office. The whole room was fresh and clean with beautiful design elements. Kathryn is also one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. She is always encouraging, uplifting and simply a joy to work with and be around. I'm thankful for you friend! For the time being you can check her out here or on instagram. I'll be sure to share her gorgeous new branding site when it's up!

Clean lines, whites and simplistic beauty - There's really nothing I love more. Plus, these colors are definitely my favorites. I will forever adore blues and greens paired with white.

Only photography allows you to push pause on a moment in time. Frozen, it lives on in it's frame. There is something magical about it's stillness. Perfect movement now stationary. This is just a little bit of what I'm working on lately. There is much more to come!

Jonathan and I started dating when I was 19 and he was 20. We were both pretty young, so we didn't plan on rushing through the dating process. I hadn't really dated anyone before and we both knew we wanted to take things slowly. After dating a while I remember when it really sunk in that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. We weren't engaged, but I knew. Honestly, I had known from the beginning, but it felt like I had finally realized that there was no turning back after that point. This was for the rest of my life! In that moment I had a little funeral for the old me, free to do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. I had to prepare to put someone else's needs before my own in a new and different way. Of course I was excited to become Jonathan's wife, but it was a little bittersweet goodbye. I loved my single years and I was never going to have them back. The season of marriage came a little sooner than I had thought, and elated as I was I knew I'd be different from then on. The girl I was before was going to fade and I was going to become a new version of myself.

Change. It's the nature of life. None of us stay the same, at least not really. As we enter into various seasons we grow and transform. Most of the time, it's a beautiful thing.

It's both scary and exciting to think that there will be a little baby Blair in the house soon. When the reality of it all does hit, it is often accompanied by worry. I'm a planner by nature and now suddenly the details of life have been thrust up into the air. Honestly, it feels much harder to trust the Lord than before. Now there is another little life depending on me and I feel the pressure. I don't know what you all are walking through right now, but our family seems to be placed in circumstances where there is no alternative but trust in God. It's easy to say, "Lord, you know there's only so much rope left right?" He sees. He knows. He has never failed. I don't know if you need those words today, but I sure do. I need reminding over and over that His will is never thwarted, though my plans my lie in shambles. He will remain faithful, even in my faithlessness.

"For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken...Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us." (Psalm 62:5-8)
