šØTHIS MIGHT BE CONTROVERSIAL but being a woman of faith and photographer sometimes means making choices that go against the mainstream in the industry.
My faith shapes more than what I believe on Sundays; it influences what I create, and where I draw boundaries. Iām not sharing these convictions to judge anyone else, but to acknowledge that honoring God with my camera sometimes means graciously saying NO to what is popular, profitable, or widely accepted.
š Creepy Halloween photography
I love the fall colors, cozy sweaters, pumpkin patches, and golden-hour sessions. But I donāt feel called to create horror-inspired imagery or photographs that glorify darkness, fear, or evil. Some may see it as harmless creativity, but for ME itās a no.
š¤ Bo***ir photography
I love helping women feel beautiful and confident, and I believe they are fearfully and wonderfully made. But I also believe marital intimacy is sacred, so Iām not comfortable photographing something I believe should remain between a husband and wifeā¦.even when itās tasteful, artistic, or intended as a gift.
Not everything intimate needs a third person in the room. For ME itās a boundary.
šø Childrenās privacy online
This is something Iām still prayerfully discerning even in my own life as a mom. Family photographs are so incredibly meaningful, but Iāve begun questioning how much of a childās identity should be shared publicly.
Just because I have permission to share a childās photograph, does that mean I should?
I donāt have a final answer on this yet, but I believe this deserves thoughtful, prayerful consideration especially given the current state of our world.
Iām not claiming to be a better Christian or photographer. I simply believe we can stand by our convictions without apologizing for them. Romans 12:2 reminds us not to conform to the pattern of this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, and that applies to business too.
Iām a believer before Iām a photographer. My camera, creativity, and business are gifts I want to steward faithfully. My goal isnāt to please the world ; itās to honor God even when itās unpopular.
