CAROLINA'S STORY

Picture
Afraid of Fear
​
Do you have a dream? Do you have a big dream? Carolina did. And she struggled with fears, doubts, and her identity as she questioned whether to keep pursuing her dream. But she learned to be brave - to keep trying despite the fear. 

"
I have come to know fears not only stop us from making our own dreams come true, but they make us undermine our own abilities, capacities, and skills. Because of our fears, we dream small."
- Carolina

Face your fears! Just as Carolina did...

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S STORY

Picture
A Genuine Smile
Why photography?

It helped me to smile. To show my true self. To wear joy, kindness, and love on my sleeve, rather than tucked away inside a hardened heart.

What We're About

There is beauty in everyone and everything. Often times, society tells us what beauty is, and the pressure is on to conform. Not here.

Be you. Be bold. Be unique.

"When we strive to be just like everyone else, we never have a chance to be special. When you start to embrace and even celebrate how special and different God made you, you can begin to do extraordinary things. You can begin to live in the uniqueness with which you were created. You can be motivated and inspired to go against the grain."
- Tim Tebow
