The Studio at Cedar Hill I’m Debbie, lover of life & people. Showing you how AMAZING you are with heirloom art or albums. Empowerment Photography Education coming soon. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!

Let's capture the real you. Each person is different and to me, that is so incredible. Too often, we try to be someone we aren't, when in fact, you are the only one who can be the very best version of yourself. Showing people how beautiful they are is my goal. As the Founder of the worldwide group, Sparks of Kindness and facilitator of empowering workshops and retreats, it is very important to me that you feel incredible after your portrait session....that you connect in a loving way with your family, remembering why you love each other so much....that you not only have beautiful portraits for a lifetime, but also realize the incredible inner qualities you have and remember that always. I love seeing that through my lens and seizing that moment for eternity. I'm Debbie McFarland. I opened The Memory Cottage in 1998, changed the name to The Studio at Daisy Hill and now my studio is called The Studio at Cedar HIll. I can't wait to hear all about you or your family and create gorgeous wall art or albums for you to cherish forever and ever. Help us change the world with love and kindness on FB at Sparks of Kindness. Ladies and girls, follow Restore to Soar on FB for upcoming life skills workshops that are so fun!!!

What an amazing day, full of love! It was such an honor to photograph Angelique and Nicholas’s wedding, with Kevin alongside me as my second shooter.

There was so much love and tradition woven into their ceremony at the Greek Orthodox Church. From the beautiful ceremony to the Greek dancing and delicious food, I loved every part of celebrating these two.

But my favorite part? The love that shines through them. The way they look at each other says so much, and capturing that was the sweetest part of the day.

Angelique and Nicholas, thank you for trusting us to capture these memories!

Who knew a conversation about The Walking Dead would lead to a moment like this?

Years ago, these two first started talking over their shared love of the show. They visited Senoia together a few years back, and for their third anniversary, they made the 7 hour trip from Florida to visit again.

But this time, he had a little something extra planned.

Before their trip, he reached out to me to help find just the right spot to ask her to spend forever with him. She thought they were coming back to a place that was part of their story. She thought they were going to breakfast to celebrate their anniversary. He knew they were about to add a whole new chapter.

And me? I got to hide in the bushes with my camera, trying to stay out of sight while watching her jump up and down when she realized what was happening!

Being trusted to capture a moment like that is such an honor. The surprise, the excitement, and the beginning of something they’ll be telling people about for years. The, we did a full engagement session so they have lots of photos to remember the special day - all while her hands were still shaking!!

Senoia was already special to them. Now it’s where she said yes.

Now, on our way to North Atlanta to photograph a big, Greek wedding and I could not be more excited to celebrate another LOVE STORY this weekend!!!

Photographed on an out-of-service section of railroad in downtown Senoia. Never take photos on active railroad tracks.

Something very special is coming for girls ages 9 to 12, and this is only the beginning.

For years, I have seen what can happen when a girl is given a safe place to discover her strengths, talk honestly about friendships and comparison, create something meaningful with her own hands, and understand the truth about who she is.

She stands a little taller. She trusts her voice. She begins to see herself differently.

That is the heart behind what I’m creating now.

It will be meaningful, creative, encouraging, beautiful, and fun. But every part will have a purpose: helping girls build confidence, handle the hard parts of growing up, and hold on to their worth.

If you love a girl ages 9 to 12, comment BLOOM and I’ll send you the link to join the waitlist.

Do you love a girl between the ages of 9 and 12? Or do you know someone who does?

Then please keep reading, because I have been working on something incredibly important for girls at this pivotal age.

Over the years, I have created some AMAZING in-person experiences just for girls ages 9–12, including huge events, workshops, yearlong teams and camps.

Through fun, creative lessons and activities, girls have learned how to:

• Love themselves without comparing themselves to others
• Navigate friendship drama and choose healthy friendships
• Create and respect boundaries
• Recognize their unique strengths
• Use their voices and speak up for themselves
• Stand strong in what they believe
• Let their own light shine without dimming anyone else’s

Basically, all the wonderful things so many of us wish someone had taught us when we were their age!

This is important work. Ages 9-12 can be such a pivotal and transformational time in a girl’s life. She is beginning to figure out who she is, where she belongs, what she believes and how she wants to show up in the world. It is the first time she is looking outside her family's opinion to find her worth!

So many girls are having a hard time right now. They are struggling to make genuine friends, comparing themselves to everyone around them, questioning whether they are good enough, changing themselves to fit in or becoming afraid to speak up for what they believe.

But what if we could reach them during this important stage and help them discover that they are already worthy, wonderfully unique, stronger than they realize and absolutely amazing just as they are?

If I can help more girls discover those truths while they are figuring out who they are in this world...wow. That is work worth doing.

Now, I am working on something even BIGGER that will give more girls the opportunity to learn these important lessons in a way that feels creative, meaningful, and so much FUN.

Want to be in the loop and one of the very first to know what is coming?

Comment “BLOOM” below, and I’ll send you a message!

And PLEASE SHARE this post on your timeline. Even if you do not personally have a girl this age, someone you know does. Your share could help this reach a girl who truly needs it.

A few weeks ago, I went to Utah.

Why?

I went to work on a very big dream. A dream of creating something truly meaningful and life-changing for girls everywhere.

But the story of why I went actually began many years ago when my
life was changed by Melody Freebird Ross and her incredible work.

Through the retreats I attended, the courses I took and eventually becoming certified to teach her work, Melody helped me understand so much about my own worth, healing, courage, creativity and becoming who we were created to be.

What I learned from her changed me, and it planted a desire in my heart to help others discover those same truths for themselves.

That journey first led me and Darlene Dennis to help ladies through our Restore to Soar workshops. Years later, it grew into a calling to reach girls while they are still young, before the pressures and voices of the world become louder than the truth of who they are.

That is what brought me to Utah.

I went to share with Melody what I have been creating and the much bigger vision growing in my heart. In the generous way that is so completely Melody, she listened, encouraged me, shared her wisdom and experience and gave me invaluable advice about how to build something truly special for girls everywhere.

Utah was absolutely gorgeous. Everywhere I turned, there was another breathtaking view. But even more beautiful than the scenery were the genuinely wonderful people I met while I was there. The kindness, encouragement and connections made the entire experience even more meaningful.

There are moments when you can look back and suddenly see how all the pieces of your life have been quietly connecting, even when you could not see it at the time.

This was one of those moments for me.

Sweet Melody, thank you for using your own story to help so many others understand theirs. Thank you for creating spaces where people feel safe enough to heal, brave enough to grow and strong enough to remember who they truly are. Thank you for changing my life all those years ago and for now helping me find the best way to carry these truths forward to the next generation.

You have changed countless lives, including mine. And because you helped change mine, your beautiful ripple continues through every person I will be blessed to reach.

This trip was about honoring where my journey began, but it was also about dreaming, planning and preparing for where it is going next.

Something very special is beginning to bloom for girls everywhere.

If you would like to be among the first to know what I am creating, send me a message. I would love to share more with you.
