Here’s that Sophia beauty…

Every time I do video on a home, I get an idea of what to capture as I’m working through it gabbing photos.

My mind is playing through the options of the story I want to tell once I start rolling.

But this home had so much to offer… I tell you when I got to editing I had to cut myself off.

There is so much that time just wouldn’t allow me feature in a good home showcase - I have to keep it short and sweet to keep the eyes of the viewers.

Something about our attention span and algorithms that defy any sense when all I want to do is show you what’s going on!

But alas, time is counted. Things are heavily scrutinized.
And here we are just a little over three minutes of what could be an entire book of awesomeness.

She’s officially up for sale and live on the market!
If you’re in the mood for inspiration on your new build - let it begin with what these folks have done!

Something in the heated floors for the people and the pets will keep this one alive and well in my memory!!

Get in there y’all! Get you some home comforts.

After the sun has passed over the visible horizon the other end of the horizon too begins to shift into colors that create awe.

Someone once called it “Night Rising” and it’s stuck with me ever since.

What was once a vivid color of cream and orange begins to shift into soft pinks and purples and periwinkle.

It’s just the color of the sky without the suns light impacting it and as the sun settles lower those colors slip higher and higher until the sky is full of night.

The temperatures begin to cool, the crickets begin to chip, the deer begin to stir, and another realm of life takes over.

And it’s absolutely glorious to witness.

I just never know what I’m going to find when I make the decision to go on a hike to a place I’ve never been.

There is always going to be something that catches my eye and makes me thank God for the opportunity.

It’s just how it goes for me in nature.

But once in a while, there’s something that makes it more memorable than just a normal hike and experience outdoors.

Once in a while I’m impacted by the sights.

That was absolutely the case for my hike up at Doughton Park on the top of Alligator Back.

As my friend and I are done with the strenuous portion and waiting in the perfect spot to watch the sunset, I look down on the rock and clearly see a cross.

And not a single chisel mark in site. Just the cross.

And I look up and smile.
I know I’m right where I need to be!
And I’m thankful!

When the North Wilkesboro Speedway holds a Trunk or Track - you best get in there!!

Vendors of all sorts tap in to the season of candy with great vigor, and they did not disappoint!

Kids of all ages were welcome for free! Yes FREE - and at the historic race track? Talk about a time to be had!

Young and old marvel at the turn out and get to take a whiz around the track in style, hay-ride style that is.

Thankful for the opportunity to volunteer and give back!
Thanks to North Wilkesboro Speedway for the invite!

See y’all next year!!

Something in the hills and the way the sun moves over them is able to stop me dead in my tracks.

Seeing all the layers stacked up on each other and the shadows with their continuous efforts to overcome them makes me thank God for what he’s done.

It speaks to His glory and what he does with His hands.

How He made things to get our attention with an effort to turn our eyes back to Him in thanksgiving and praise.

How there is no end to the horizon because on the other end of that mountain pass is yet another valley, and another mountain, and it just goes on and on.

The sun never sets in the east. It just keeps going west echoing the ways He promised forgiveness if we just ask.

As far as the east is from the west is the breadth of how far the remembrance of our sins are in His eyes.

The two never meet - east and west. Not the case for north and south. You go north far enough you begin to circle back south. And you go south far enough you begin to circle back north.

But God knew beyond our time and space and tried to teach us with it.

And every time I see a sun setting, I will praise Him.
He did it all for us, to taste and see and know He is good.

Sometimes it’s just the little things for me…

The way the sunlight hits an overgrowth of dying foliage.

The way the colors contrast so perfectly.

The depth of the mountains and colors on them with whatever is lying at my feet.

We’re are lucky duckies here in North Carolina!

Not just in Autumn, but every season.
We are given a chance to view colors and richness and variety that is unlike anywhere else.

And I’m just grateful again, for eyes to see and a soul yearning to take it all in!!

I tell you, watching a sunset is absolutely healing.

Scientifically - there is something to the brightness and power of the sun at this hour that gets the micro-biome in our eyes and body active.

But more than that, there’s a peaceful feeling that washes over you watching shadows increase and colors shift into the coolness of the night.

I had a hike with one of my best friends Jessica on Tuesday and it’s a hike I will no doubt be taking again.

No special service, no appointment made to do it, just a text about a free moment in the week for us both and a decision to go and make the best of it.

And that we did!!!

I’m so thankful for an opportunity to simply enjoy the wonders of the earth below while praising the good Lord above with a friend.

I don’t care how creative we are down here, we could NEVER put these orange, red, and yellow tones against a hue of blue or green like this AND get away with it.

Only God could pull this off and it makes our jaw drop.

Have you ever considered that??

Same with colors of the sunset, with those cotton candy skies against that vivid and ever shifting blue.

Honestly this time of year and any sunset that has clouds reflecting the colors of the sun, it’s all I think about.

The creativeness of our God and the things he’s put on this earth to remind us of His beauty will always keep me coming back for more.

And all I can so is sit back and thank Him…
The Master Creative, the one who did it all!!

Love is a many splendid thing.

These two have been married since they were teens.
But you wouldn’t know it by looking at them.

Simply because they still look like they are in love.
And what a wondrous thing it is to see.

So many times we take for granted the ones who have been with us - thru thick and thin.

Where we let go of the feelings that started it all and are overcome by whatever the world throws in our path.

But not these two! Oh no!
Just as newlyweds look dreamily at the other because of the hopes and journey before them - Don and JoAnn Barnett look at each other after all the years and paths they’ve taken.

It gives us hope that when it’s right it just gets better and better as we age together!

Here’s a little sneak peek for them on the beautiful session we shared last week!

I’m always thankful to capture a couple but I’m SUPER thankful for the love and witness these two carry!

I often wonder, what’s it all for.

As a business owner, the people who come to me for work typically have an end goal…

Encapsulating a moment in time.
Marketing a company they own.
Selling a home or property.

It’s all a tremendous blessing to be called, too.
But as one who works alone in every step of the process from planning to ex*****on and then delivering, it’s often a lonely journey from end to end.

People thank me for what I do and go on about their business and I’m left with these moments and feelings and my goodness - all this data!

It’s easy to get distracted, too.
By the media trends and tags and posts of other business owners doing the same, by their interactions with others…. By their likes and comments and shares compared to what my content is doing.

I often wonder, am I doing it right?
I wonder if this the course I was intended to walk or is there something else for me?

I don’t know what else to do when the doubts get to doubting than to retreat to what got me picking up a camera in the first place.

Where I met God and was moved by Him in what he created for our pleasure; In what He simply made for us to see and know and taste His goodness

When I return there the doubts fade away.
I find myself centering back on Him and realize THIS is what it’s all for.

We are made in His image, with His heart. And this world and all the people in it, their likes or comments or shares could never take His place.

Sometimes I just need to get away and remind myself.
He is the vine, I’m just a branch. If I’m going to thrive - it’s best to stay connected.
