“I love her and that’s the beginning of everything.”
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
I love the words of this poem. They describe the way I feel about my loving wife so well. I find so much inspiration for my photography in the love I have for my wife. The way she looks at me. The way she cares for me. The way she gives me butterflies in my stomach that never go away. It just never gets old. I look into her eyes and everyday it seems as if it’s the first time. The first time I felt those butterflies. The first time I felt this overwhelming love for her.
Photography so much more than just working with a camera. There is so much more joy in a job well done in this profession. Capturing love between two people is such a sacred act. Putting lovers in a natural environment to capture their love, the butterflies they feel when seeing each other. It’s truly a beautiful thing. What inspiration this poem brings me.
Wanting You
You are so amazing
When I look into your eyes
I feel nothing but cravings
You make me feel so ecstatic
Chills rush down my spine
My heart beats fast
I feel warmth throughout my body
All I hope for is just one kiss
Your sweet lips against mine
My arms around you
Holding you until the end of time

I am so broken, yet overwhelmed with joy. What Christ did for me… It just brings me to tears sometimes. Tonight is one of those nights.
I have been a believer in Christ since I can remember, but as I dive into the Word more and more it just seems like God breaks me over and over again. Showing me new things to work on. New ways to live for Him. I have been reading through the book of John the past week and I came across these verses tonight:
“For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again. No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.” John 10:17-18
I look at my own life and the things that I’m not willing to give up; money, pride, comfort, the list goes on and on. Christ, the only perfect and sinless person to ever live, came to earth and was willing to give up his life for me! Why? Because I deserve it? Because He owes it to me? No, because He loves me. Because he loves all of us. Tonight Christ is challenging me to get away from the comfort and live for Him and Him alone. He is challenging me not to worry about what the next day will hold, but to rely on the promises of Christ. The Father commanded Him to lay his life down for humanity. Was it easy for Him? No. Yet He chose to stand up, to take the cross, and lay His life down for me, a wretched and broken sinner. This defines love.
