“There are friends who destroy eachother, but a real friend sticks closer than a “sister.” –Proverbs 18:24 (New Living Translation) In this marriage deal, I gained a two sisters and twin brothers; but being a only child I always yearned for sisters of my own. I’m almost positive that had God planned for me to […]
I love him…. that’s all. note: this is a low res image: photo credit: self-portrait: Isaiah Haynes edited: Latasha Haynes
I love this mountain for many reason: 1.) If I can see it, typically means it’s a beautiful day in Washington/or at least close, maybe even thinking about it 2.) Its so GRAND, at 14k feet it shows how flashy and excessive and major God is/and makes me feel justified in being flashy & excessive, […]

What happens when the thing you never thought would happen does? What happens when you unexpectedly get sick? What happens when someone you love falls ill or even worse dies? What happens when a natural disaster hits and destroys everything you've worked so hard to build? What happens when you become ill or paralyzed and are unable to run your business? What happens when you find yourself in a global pandemic and you're unable to work for months at a time? What are you going to do?
When we first started shooting, we couldn't afford many of the opportunities and workshops that were available for newbie photographers to learn and grow, so we really utilized the free communities online and locally to building relationships and to learn the trade. It was those years that shaped who we are as people in this industry and have helped us to value the journey.
