Tuesday Huesday: Fall Bowl



Happy Tuesday Huesday! I hope you find this fall bowl color pallet inspiring. I made this bowl when I was studying Fine Arts in college. Throwing pottery is so much fun. The glaze colors in the ceramic department were all very earthy, so I think this goes right along with the time of year. I am so thankful for the colors that peak during the fall. This is my favorite time of year. I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

A Difficult Challenge

All things domestic. All things art. All things photography.
{That's what my Pinterest profile says, anyway.}

I don't really know how this post will end. Rarely, do I plan what I will write in a blog post before I start to type. All I do know is that it has to begin with a challenge. As a photographer and business owner, it is overwhelming at times to take in all the information that one must know and practice to conduct a successful business that will benefit both myself and my clients. I have weeded out the ones offering business information that simply don't fit my professional business model. There are a few that I follow regularly, who's informative photography blogs have helped me in shaping my business model. One of those lovely photographer/business consultants is Rachel Brenke. I do not know her personally, but I'd like to. She's one of those people that puts it all out there for you. She's very likable and she is one accomplished 'Smart Cookie'! A product that I've purchased from Rachel recently is the Workflow Chart. It has helped me so much to have this visual in my work space. I went to Michaels last weekend to purchase a frame for my workflow chart. The first thing I did when I got home was clean the frame, insert the chart, and hang it.
See! Isn't it awesome. I love it.


So, after reading Rachel's blog post from yesterday I've decided to join her challenge to do something this year that is totally out of my comfort zone for my business. Something out of the norm. THIS REQUIRES SOME THINKING! Last night when my husband got home I went for a walk. There were some things I believe God revealed to me about myself and my habits that need refining.

The following are undoubtedly true:
1. I belong to Jesus first
2. My sons & my husband deserve my best
3. I am too socially connected
4. The Lord created me for more than this

I'll elaborate a little bit. Number 1, I belong to Jesus first. He wants my first fruits. He wants my allegiance. He wants me to love Him first. Not in my timing and not when it's convenient for me. If you are a regular reader of my blog you know that I am a Christian. Even typing this out puts tears in my eyes because it affirms what I know the Lord is asking me to do and it is going to take discipline. God has been so faithful in providing for me and my family. I have been less than faithful and consistent in my devotion to Him.
1. Spend time in prayer and read my daily devotion first thing in the morning. 

Number 2, My sons & my husband deserve my best. If God comes first, then the divine order would be that those He has given me come second. I never thought I would have all that I have now. I am thankful. God knows that. I thank Him all the time. Sometimes though my business runs me and I spend far too much time working and not enough time keeping up with "all things domestic". They, my sons & husband, end up getting what's left over. Not my best. Relationships are what life is all about. I want my boys to remember me in a loving and endearing way, not as the lady behind the computer. I also want to continue to date my husband. Dating is fun. All my boys are fun! I love photography, but I love them more. I need to prove that to them and to myself. The Lord has given me a godly husband and 2 beautiful healthy boys. I must take advantage of this moment in time.
2. Give my sons & my husband my best each day. More specifically, I am going to spend more time with them and less time on the computer. (This takes me to my next point.)

Number 3, I am too socially connected. The one subject I've heard more inquiries about is the subject of balance. I wonder the same thing sometimes. HOW CAN I ACHIEVE BALANCE IN MY LIFE? It never fails, man. Something always suffers. The laundry, a clean house, a decent home cooked meal, forgetting story-time at the library (I'm Mom-shaming myself!). You name it. Something always suffers. I've decided that for me, balance is going to include time management. I've lost you...I know the feeling. Every time I hear the phrase time management all I hear is RESTRICTION. That's it. I'm grounded. I'm grounding myself from social media. Not totally or completely, but I am going to give myself a time limit for social media. Scheduling. That's what I'll call it. I'm going to schedule a time to do my social media. I'm restricting myself to twice a day. Once in the morning, and once at night time after my boys go to bed. If I think of what I have to do in the middle of the day, then I'll write a list of things I must do when it is time for social media. There. This, I think will be the toughest for me. Social media is a huge distraction and it keeps me from doing the above "all things domestic" and "all things art".
3. Create a morning & evening schedule for social media.

Number 4, the Lord created me for more than this. It is so easy to get wrapped up in anything you're passionate about. With social media (Hi, #3 ^) you can get engulfed in whatever cyber world tickles your fancy. Photography. Eating healthy. Exercise. Domestications. I have a confession to make. I get bored. Creatively, I mean. I get in ruts more often than not. My mind is constantly going though. Sometimes I can't shut it off at night. It leaves me sleepless. I must have 10 different things going on at once. I'm working on little John's scrapbook and writing a thank you note and cutting coupons and looking up that recipe on Pinterest and emptying the dryer to pile the clean laundry on the couch to fold...all at the same time. Women. We're good at multitasking. I think God made us to be able to juggle lots of things at once. One thing I haven't been so good at though is following through with the other creative things I love to do. I used to paint. I used to make pottery too. I want to do and enjoy those things again. I want to make time for my other gifts. Like I mentioned above, I love photography. I do. I love to create! I love art! God has given me so many gifts. I don't want any of them to lay dormant. He created me for more than this.
4. Make time to create art. 


Now, the question is how is all this going to help my photography business. That, I am going to trust to the Lord. If I put Him first everything else is going to fall into place. And if it doesn't all fall into place, then He will give me the grace and assurance that life will be okay anyway. I love taking pictures, connecting with my clients, and running a business. I want it to succeed. Thanks Rachel for the encouragement to do something hard for my business and ultimately, for my life. I appreciate all that you contribute to the photography world. Much love, girl!

I BELIEVE!! Proverbs 16:3 - Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
Amen.

Tuesday Huesday {Sunflower}




Tuesday Huesday! My mom loves sunflowers. Every time I see a sunflower I think of her. I had an amazing Bridal Portrait Session on a farm this weekend. There was a field in the back with sunflowers galore. Bees were buzzing around. It was so beautiful. Sunflowers also remind me of fall. I love fall and all the colors that are associated. I hope this inspires you today. Make it a great day!

Motivation for Monday: {Carrie} Guest Blogger

Meet Carrie! She is the Children's Pastor at our church. She is such a sweet person. Carrie's love for children is so evident when you talk with her. She does an amazing job with the children's program at church. I have asked Carrie to be a guest blogger for Motivation for Monday. Scroll down to see what she has written...









"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart..." -Jeremiah 1:5a

We forget that we are important sometimes. We think how can God have time for me when there are so many other people in the world. Storms are hitting places, children are dying because they don't have food, women are even being sold, why would God have time for my problems? It is wonderful to know that before we were even born God not only knew us, but set us apart to live the life we have for him. He promises us he will never leave us. We will go through things in life we don't understand, but we must remember that we are His children and he loves us like not other!

Motivation for Monday: Everything


{The above image was taken in Edenton, NC}


"I can do everything through Him who gives me strength." ~ Philippians 4:13 {NIV, emphasis mine}

I don't know what you are going through, but everyone is going through something. It may be the loss of a loved one, the inability to let go, a break-up, the loss of a job, having difficulty making ends meet, struggling with a habitual sin, or lacking the energy to finish something that needs to get done. Whatever it is, you are not alone. Your issues, your problems, your inadequacies, are all important and they matter to the One who breathed life into you. Your issues, He will resolve them. Your problems, He has a solution for them. Your inadequacies, He will fill the void. 
God has a plan. The Bible is filled with His promises. We have the power to remember them and to claim them over our lives and over the lives of our loved ones. He is able to equip you with everything you need for this life on earth. You can do EVERYTHING through Christ who gives you strength. Everything is everything, not some things, not the easy things...everything! Believe it :) 
Have a blessed Monday!

Flashback Friday: Coca-Cola



I love vintage finds. This 15 cent Coca-Cola machine is circa 1943 (approximately). It reminds me of the story my Papa told me about the first time he drank a coke. I also love my family of storytellers who give me morsels of life experiences to write down and share with my children.
Did you know that Doctor John Pemberton concocted this formula for Coca-Cola in May of 1886? He was a pharmacist in Atlanta, GA. It's fascinating to me because I also love history. {Sidenote: Beau & I are self-acclaimed history buffs. Yeah, we're total history geeks. e even watch The History Channel.} When you see the colors and the font, it's unmistakable what it is. The brand is all over the place. It's now an internationally known and consumed product. Did you know that Dr Pemberton's bookeeper was the one who suggested the name and wrote down the name in his perfect penmanship. The lovely font you know well, above, is from  the well scripted hand of the good Dr.'s bookeeper.
Well, if you didn't know any of these things before, you know them now. Enjoy your weekly dose of Flashback Friday. Hope you have a happy & enjoyable weekend! xo

Wednesday's Printable Words and an Announcement!

If you follow me on Facebook you probably saw this picture on my timeline. So now I have the opportunity to share what this means. If any of you answered: "Too Legit To Quit", you're right! The song was released in 1991 by MC Hammer. This song was featured along with "Addams Family Groove" in the movie The Addams Family. I can still see Christina Ricci with her long braids as Wednesday Addams doing the movements to the song. Classic!





ANYWAY...I thought this would be a Karrie-like way to announce something very exciting. I am very proud to announce that Karrie Drake Photography is now Karrie Drake Photography LLC. That's right folks, a legitimate company. EEK! Thank you, thank you to all my family, friends, and clients who have supported me and encouraged me. I appreciate you more than you know. I am so blessed to be able to do something that I truly love. xo- Karrie

Wednesday's Printable Words are brought to you by the creator & orchestrator of my life and yours. I love the message of Matthew 19:26 ~ Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." (This was Jesus' response when He was asked by the disciples, "Who can be saved?")
I owe everything I have to the One who gave me the opportunity to have it. We were all created to be and to do something for the glory of God. Find out what it is and Go Get It!

Motivation for Monday: A Female Tangent

Balance. Balance. Balance. Sometimes I wonder if it even exists. I've heard and read of so many woman/mother/homemaker-gurus who claim to know the recipe for balance in a busy woman's life. I have yet to hear or read about the recipe that suits me and my life. 
---Beware: I'm going to talk frankly with you in this post.---
These woman/mother/homemaker-gurus know and write about what they have experienced in their life, which I think is all well and good. Thanks for sharing. But let me share something with you, cleaning my kitchen sink doesn't give me the motivation to clean the rest of my house. It just doesn't. I clean my kitchen sink because I have to. I clean the rest of my house because I feel like it is my job to ensure that my husband & children live in a clean sanitary home. Usually, I clean my house twice a month. Another shocker is that I don't do all my cleaning in one day. I do it in 2 or 3 days. I like to pace myself :) That may seem gross to some, or it may seem like too much for some. Either way, I do it because that is what works for me and my household. I so loathe to clean. Oftentimes I kick my boys out of the house so that I can just do it and get it over with. (I may be speaking to some of you and some of you may think I'm crazy. That's alright with me.) I clean much faster and efficiently if I'm cleaning to music...loud music. You're probably wondering to yourself, "Karrie, what are you talking about?...and what it is, please get to the point."
I'm getting there, my friend.
Some women enjoy cleaning. More power to you, girls! I like enjoying my house after it's clean. Some women enjoy doing the laundry. I enjoy when the laundry is folded and put away. I enjoy when the chores have been checked off all the way down the list. That rarely happens though, and I mean RARELY. When I check off one chore most of the time I'm adding two more to the list. That's just how it goes sometimes. I'm not at peace with it, but it's reality.
What irks me a little bit is when I sit down and talk to some of my friends about balance in the home and I instantly get something like, "Oh, you should go to so-and-so's website. They have such good advice about balance in the home. It all starts with a clean kitchen sink." (insert rolling eyes here.) Really? Wow. How many hours would I have saved worrying about the balance in my home had I known that it all started with a clean kitchen sink. Dang!
The fact is, every woman has a lot of "stuff" on her plate. The plate consists of work, chores, intimacy with husband, quiet time with God, exercise, lunch with friends, doctor visits, grocery shopping, laundry, and the list goes on...
Not everyone's ratios look the same. I give so much credit to the woman who has to do it all by herself because she is either a single parent or her helpmate has a demanding job. My heart goes out to the woman who has no choice but to work a 40 hour week to help her husband pay bills and put food on the table and then has all the "stuff" I mentioned on her plate on top of that and then some.
---Newsflash: There is no perfect formula.--- 
No one person outside of your home, Super Nanny included, has the answers for you. No one lives your life, except for you. The one thing I can honestly say that has worked for me is this, God knows you. He knows your thoughts, your "to-do list", and what's important to you. Ask him to help you prioritize the list. Some weeks, months will look different. It may be random, it may be organized, it may formulated. It won't look just like Mrs. Jones' list. It's not going to look like the balance your mommy group leader seems to have. It'll be yours though. Just yours. There's peace and sanity in that, I think. I encourage you not to stress about your to-do list or to worry about the balance of your home. I also encourage you not to compare yourself to the woman who seems to have it all together. You're not in a contest with her. Be true to yourself. Be honest with yourself. Do what you are able to do today and leave the rest for tomorrow.

**Side note: I am convinced that the only reason my sweet husband endures the ranting about my distaste for cleaning is because he knows I'll make a nice dinner. 


Cleaning Day 1:
1. clean & disinfect laundry room, kitchen, dining room, and living room

2013 Senior Rep: Abbey






Meet the first 2013 Senior Representative for Karrie Drake Photography, the beautiful Abbey! Senior portrait sessions are so much fun. I enjoy the one-on-one time I get to spend with my seniors during their sessions. Not only is Abbey beautiful, she is also very bright, and stays quite busy with cheerleading and other activities. This mini session was shot in historic Edenton.

Now scheduling sessions for August & September 2012. Call now to book your Senior Lifestyle Session!

The colorful and flattering dress Abbey is wearing comes from Downtown Diva Fashion Boutique, which is located right on Broad Street. I have several lovely frocks from this fashion boutique. You can always count on excellent customer service. There are new items coming in all the time. The owner and fashion extraordinaire, Candace, keeps the store front fun and fresh with feminine style. If you are ever in the area, please stop by.

My Custom Planner: getting organized!



Getting organized has always been a challenge for me. I am one of those artsy-creative types that can function in chaos, but can never find that little piece of paper that I wrote a note on...(laughs at herself). When I found this handy custom planner on a friend's website I had to have one. The planner is very durable and fully customizable. It is created to be a 12 month calendar planner. You don't have to be a photographer to purchase one either. You could be a senior in high school, a busy mom on the go, or a sports coach/teacher. I am so glad I invested in this planner. It has been a time-saver.

Some of the features of the planner:

1. 5-6 blocks to keep all your notes in one place (ex: scheduled sessions, names & numbers, etc.)
2. 12 month calendar
3. a hidden folder
4. 2 ribbon loop holes to attach a writing utensil
5. customized colors with your branding colors and logo

I highly recommend being organized with appointments, notes, and incoming orders. This planner will definitely help you do just that. If you're interested in purchasing one please contact my friend.

Wednesday's Printable Words: Ocean



Hello! I realize that Wednesday is almost done, but I wanted to post today's printable art. I've been thinking a lot about the ocean lately. The smell of the saltwater and suntan lotion, the feel of the sand between my toes. Beholding the beautiful colors, the sound of the waves crashing on the shore, there is healing at the beach. I was so blessed to live close to the ocean growing up. I miss it. This image was taken almost 2 years ago in South Florida at Deerfield Beach.

This is printable art. I sized the printable as an 8x10. Feel free to print and share.

Flashback Friday: Sage


Hello & Happy Friday! {To see my post about the sage a year ago, click here.}
We moved here one year ago. It's crazy all that happens in a year, how fast a year goes by. Time seems to go faster now that I am older. Maybe it's being aware of time that makes it go faster. I don't know. Yesterday, the farmers began harvesting the sage. The fields of sage brought hope and comfort to me when we moved here. There is something about taking in the sea of purple hues that made me feel like I was beholding Majesty. It still does...make me feel that way. I am thankful for all that God provides. He ever so gently reminds me where I've been and where I am today. I have no doubt that He has directed every step. There is a divine purpose for our time in the valley, for our hike up the steepest of mountains, and for the victory of making it to the mountain top. We can't stay there though. Others need their time on the mountain top as well. Have no fear of the journey. His glory is with us wherever we go. He is with us in the valley, on the hike up that steep mountain, and the glory we feel on that mountain top is His. Enjoy basking in it!
Have a blessed weekend.

The Davis Family









I had the privilege this past Saturday evening to photograph the Davis Family. We met up and drove to this great secluded location. We had the whole lot to ourselves except for a few kids fishing on the next dock over. It was so peaceful out there. This is the sweetest family. They've always made me feel welcome. We casually talked about our day and about our children. The little ones were so good. How gorgeous are they! They have the most beautiful eyes. We played with some bubbles and ran around in the grass for a bit. I absolutely loved the patriotic colors they chose to wear. They even brought flags. It was a perfect choice for this time of year. Thank you Davis Family for sharing this time with me. I am so thankful for you. I hope you enjoy your images; I surely enjoyed taking them!

Motivation for Monday: Real Life





Hello and Happy Monday! I was going to post about the gorgeous purple sage in my backyard and drop a picture of the sage in the sunset that I shot last night. I awoke this morning thinking about it and I strongly felt in my heart that God wanted me to be real with you this morning. 
 Before turning on my computer this morning I made chocolate chip muffins for my boys. They love muffins. As I sat them down to eat their muffins I took a look around at my dining space. This is what my dining room looks like 98% of the time. Sunday's coupons from the newspaper sit on the table collecting dust throughout the week until I make the time to cut them. I have miscellaneous items sitting at the end of the table. This week it's a small box, a book, a dvd, my cosmetic bag that I usually keep in my purse, a few press printed cards for an upcoming promo, my camera manual, and my new white balance lens caps that haven't made their way out of the packaging yet. Then there's more clutter on the floor. I get the idea in my head that I want to start something and it takes FOREVER for me to finish it. The scrapbooking, stamps, and other crafty things have been sitting on the floor of my dining room for about 2 weeks. Their rightful place is on a wire shelving rack in the garage. I'll make time to put them back when I conjure up the energy to clean the house. I've got my 2 camera bags resting in the chair at the end of the table because no one sits there anyway. I can easily tuck them under the table if anyone decides to pop by for a visit. I'm not too worried about that though because no one ever does just pop by. There's the other 2%, by the way. The percentage of time that my dining room doesn't look like this is when I clean my house, organize, and declutter. 
Am I complaining? No, not really. This is just our normal. I have had to rest in God's peace about the mess my house stays in most of the time. I am "type A", very particular, and a perfectionist. My dining room doesn't reflect those characteristics at all; I know. My husband has taught me to relax, rest, and not worry about such meaningless things. Beau often shares his godly revelations with me. This is what he shared:
"What really matters in life is not what job you had or how much money you made. What really matters are the relationships that you had while on earth. All the other stuff won't be remembered." It's true. I don't even remember whether my great-grandmother ever had a job or even what she did if she had one. I do remember that she loved to ask me questions and she liked to watch me and my siblings play on the floor when we visited. She used to make these amazing knitted and crocheted creations. She would let us pick what we liked to take them home. I especially liked the knitted slippers she made. I wish I still had some that fit my feet. 
This got me thinking about what my kids would remember about me. Whatever they remember, I want the memories to be good ones. Not that I had a clean & organized house, but that I let them play and make a mess without hovering over them with a grimace on my face. Not that I worked on my computer for 3 hours in the morning, but that I stopped what I was doing no matter how "important" to care for them. Not that I stood up all the time, but that I got down on their level to talk with them and to play and to read to them. This will be my meditation today, that the Lord would be so gracious to bless us with time and to allow us not to dwell on faults & imperfections. To have a thankful heart and fill our minds with good remembrances.

Motivation for Monday: Memories



This weekend has been fun-filled and packed with outings. One of our outings was to the Sylvan Bird Sanctuary in Scotland Neck, NC. We met some friends of ours and their sweet children to enjoy the bird park and have a picnic lunch. The day was sunny and gorgeous. We were supplied with a scavenger hunt on our way in. It was cool for the kids to find and identify some of the birds we observed. Within the bird park, there were separate entrances to see the birds in their habitat up close. On one of the pathways we found this little duck that had escaped. Julian & John instantly spotted him and began to follow him. Watching our little ones follow the duck, Beau chants, "waddle, waddle, quack, quack". This chant took me back to my childhood. I can remember visiting my grandparents near Sebastian Beach, FL. They had a little vacation spot near the beach. Their development had a swimming pool. My siblings & I loved to visit. It was part of our summer vacation. We usually visited around the 4th of July. We would swim until our feet and fingers were pruned. On our way back to the house from the pool my grandmother would chant, "waddle, waddle, quack, quack!" as she walked behind us. Our wet feet rubbed against our rubber flip-flops as we walked. It made a squeaking sound that resembled a quacking duck. I can remember like it was yesterday. Great memories. Today, I am thankful for my childhood memories and for the memories that I am making with my children. Thank you, Lord!

Philemon 1:4 ~ "I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers,"

Flashback Friday





Cracker Jack! Yummy caramel covered popcorn & peanuts. Oh, when I was  little girl I could put a dent in a box of these. You can have the peanuts though; I only ate the popcorn :) I can remember when my mom went grocery shopping she would bring home one of two things: Animal Crackers or Cracker Jacks. My brothers & sisters and I loved the Cracker Jacks because there was always a prize inside. It didn't really matter that the prize would wind up in the garbage by the next day. It was the suspense and excitement of wondering what kind of prize was inside. {Great marketing strategy, by the way.}
I went grocery shopping the other day and saw this Cracker Jack bag at the check-out counter. I picked it up and couldn't help but to smile. A flood of childhood memories filled my mind. I had a blessed & happy childhood. I pray that my boys will remember their childhood fondly, as I do. 
So, tell me what's the fun treat from your childhood? I'd love to hear from you!
