Category Archives: the blairs We are so honored that 100 Layer Cakelet featured our family session with J. Layne Photography today. After having my plantation maternity session featured on their blog this past summer, it is so sweet to have some photos up with our little Elle on the outside! Of course, any photos with my handsome hubby are […]  I had so many dreams when I was younger. But I never dreamed of being a mama. (I know that may sound crazy to some.) I always wanted kids “some day” and definitely had that desire, but the whole mom thing was not everything I wanted in life. Honestly, I saw myself going off to […]  This Christmas was one for the books! First of all, I can’t believe I have a BABY and that her first Christmas has come and gone! Secondly, where in the world did 2014 go? Time passes more quickly with each year. We really did’t do much for Eleanora this year. I mean, she has no […] Photos are little moments, frozen in time forever. As a photographer, it’s easy to let the documentation of our lives fall to the wayside because I’m constantly documenting for others. But you can’t take back time. Life flies by so quickly and once the moments pass they are gone forever. Images are treasures. These are […]  The photo above makes my heart so incredibly happy. For the first time in a year ALL of my family was under the same roof…only this year we added Elle girl! I had NO IDEA that I was pregnant with Eleanora last Thanksgiving. I felt bleh, but didn’t know why. We found out right after […] LOVE your family! |

Thank you for writing this! I’ve been struggling recently with accepting God’s plan for my life, not my own. I never in a million years pictured myself married & an owner of a house (in the suburbs) at age 23. I always thought I would be single, living in a big city & in graduate school by now. Oh how God sure did have different plans for me! I love my husband and the life we have created together and I wouldn’t change that for anything. I do still feel the urge to accomplish more in life. I need to learn patience & acceptance for his plan is better than our own.
I am so grateful for your honesty! I have truly struggled with the acceptance of God’s plan in comparison to my own and it’s humbling to see others whom are on a similar journey. You have a beautiful life and I am so thankful that you are so willing to share it with us. Your story is such an inspiration!

Wow what a post! Thank you so much for writing the stories of your heart and sharing them on here. I’m often thinking of the dreams and visions God has given me and wondering how they translate to where I am right now. I know ‘m where He wants me but I thought it would feel different! The long journey is tough and I am weary and yet He sustains me in my lack of knowledge to just keep on moving and trusting.
Thank you again for your honesty and generosity in sharing it on here. Your little space has been used to open my eyes many times.
