The "Refined" Project

Refined...there is so much behind that word...for me, it means grace, purity...a new beginning...
I am so thankful and gracious for the new beginning that the Lord has given me... that I wanted to somehow use the talents that He has given me to capture this moment in the lives of other women...the Lord laid on my heart this project and what I should call it...and it is..

 The "REFINED" Project  

I have a huge heart for women of all ages to truly know how beautiful they are from the inside out. No matter what they have been through or what their past holds...those things DO NOT define them and is in no way their identity.
So, once a month, I'll be featuring a woman that I have met, who has so boldly given me permission to share her story. With each of these women's testimonies, I pray that someone who stumbles upon my blog, will be able to relate and in someway find the grace and hope that the Lord has for them. Tomorrow I will be featuring my very first session from the "refined" project...and my prayer is that it will touch someone's life.
Blessings,
Misty

Teen Mom Photo Shoot with Katie Campbell Photography

It was such an honor to assist Katie Campbell Photography with her Teen Mom Photo Shoot. Her heart for these young ladies is so amazing...and when I found out that she was looking for an assistant to help put together the event, I knew immediately that I wanted to help. 

Several photographers, make-up artists and assistants, volunteered to make this a memorable event for these young moms. It was so rewarding to see these young ladies light up, knowing that they would have these memories for a lifetime. 

You'll see in the photos below, the heart and passion that went into this event...thank you to everyone that helped..I know that these teen moms will never forget it!

The "W" fam...

I'm so blessed to be apart of this family's life and capturing lifelong memories for them. I've known them for awhile now and I love seeing how much the kids have grown each time I see them. This day was could not have been more PERFECT for their session...we went to the park and just had fun!
