The beauty of Marriage


I remember when I used to get jealous when going to a wedding. Sometimes I was even mad at God. I was so specific on what I thought my future husband was going to be like and ofcourse...I didn't find him for a long time. The fact was, I didn't need to search to find. But before I realised that, I was frustrated and sometimes sad. I remember one time leaving a wedding early, crying in my car asking God why it was so difficult for me to be alone.  I so desperatly wanted someone to share my heart with on a deeper level and be a team for God. God learned me to be alone with Him and to be honest He is still learning me this on another level.

But nowadays I don't cry on weddings (except when it's soooo emotional). I know for a fact that God is in control and I don't need to be frustrated, or anxious, or scared, because God will work this out. And this saturday was one of the best weddings everrrr! A good friend on mine got married and it was such a blessing to be a guest. I helped the photographer out with some details and putting the dress in order before the pictures where taken. I tried her cam for a minute...if there was one thing I got jealous about on this wedding it has to be that camera. Canon 5D mark II with an awesome lens.

But yeah...I didn't really have the time to make pictures so I didn't make that many pictures. Which I (deeeeeeply) regret now. And I am normally a person of commitment but I'm sorry that I want to divorce from my camera...it's just not working for me. I don't really have a big budget but I'm looking around for a cam that will fit me better than this one.

But for whats worth, here some shots. Enjoy.

Beautiful day!

Had an awesome day today. Started out with fotoshooting for the label Aaalt. Most adorable dresses for girls and shirts for boys. Than had a good afternoon with my sister just going around our town and shop some. I bought a lovely pink shirt with bow at the neckline. So nice! 

The pictures I shot today where with my stephdads Canon 1100D. I'm trying to get more hold on ligthing and try as much for the right diafragma and shuttertime as possible to get the right effect. It's working pretty well. I don't have many pictures done yet from our shoot today, but I do have some of our location. Later on I made some pictures at home. I like really light pictures, as well in lighting as in feeling, so I tried some different settings inside the house to see what would work best. 

Enjoy. :)

Dreamers


Sometimes I wonder. Is it true that we can live out our dreams? If we would really try? Although I am firmly convinced we are to chase our dreams, I'm not sure we can all get what we want. I just hope and pray my dreams are Gods dreams and He will help me live them.

But I do get encouraged when I bump into someone who actually is a dream chaser and is living it out. It just gives me such a boost to not give up my dreams and visions of life.

Let me introduce Nadia Meli (see below). I just got to know her today (not in person, although I am sure I would have some good conversations with her, as her vision is almost same as mine). Somebody who actually is commenting on my blogs has introduced her work to me. I just get so inspired by people who live their dream. And this photographer is doing it so well. The lights, the moments, the love are just dwelling out of her work. It is the reflection of what I would love to do. Although of course I do want to develop my own handwriting. But I love it how she too believes LOVE is the most important thing in life and surely life is too short to hesitate. If we have the chance we should grasp it. But for now I have to do it with my dreams. I'm actually writing out a plan for my future. I do want to develop in photography and I am very aware I need to learn a lot and need training (and a new & better cam...anyone feeling generous?), but I also want to do more in graphic design and styling (love to do bridal styling in the sence of styling a wedding). The last two I am convinced I've learned enough about to use for work...the first one...hummm I need to train it in order to make a good living out of it. But as I said...I'm dreaming, praying and hoping these plans are God's plans.

For now...get inspired too by this young woman who is chasing her dreams. Nadia Meli;
