MY LITTLE BLOSSOMS…

It seems as if it was only yesterday that they were tiny budding baby girls – swaddled tightly, with rosy peach cheeks and sweet smiles. Yet with a blink of the eye they have become my little blossoms, and just as quickly as spring hits us in Northern California, they simply bloomed overnight. Some of...

Another Breath~taking shoot..Great job Marin~Dell<3

LIVE, LAUGH, INSPIRE… and eat some snow.

Sometimes as a creative person and photographer, searching on the computer or digging through magazines for inspiration doesn’t always bring the inspiration I hope for. I know for me personally, looking at what is new on wedding blogs, or searching out a favorite photographer, or checking out everyone else’s work in this “wedding industry” can...

This is so cute! You ladies are beautiful….looks like you had a wonderful time!

Cultivate your soul

I don’t know about you guys, but lately I have been quite aware of my heart and the fact that I was crafted and designed as a spiritual and soulful being. I have been more than aware of what makes me cry. I have taken notice of the things that fill me with rage and...

Love this post. I actually was thinking almost all the exact same thoughts this morning… and was even thinking of blogging it! :) You *are* an artist, and an inspiration…. And I’m not just saying that because your blog hinted that you might want to hear it… but because you truly are.

Marilyn Plumb - November 23, 2010 - 2:08 pm

I really like this, beautiful thoughts, caused me to pause & reflect. Once identified we have choices on how we deal.

Marin Kristine - November 24, 2010 - 10:17 am

Thank you so much for your kind words Becca. We all need a little pat on the back from time to time, especially as a creative, thank you for your willingness to do so ;) I appreciate the thoughts, and I think that it is awesome that we were on the same page with this topic. I have been working on it more and more, taking more time for God, my family, and me. Keep up the amazing work on your photography and on your spirit. Much love XOXO

Nicole - November 29, 2010 - 10:35 pm

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your words.

Marilyn Plumb - November 29, 2010 - 10:37 pm

I love the person I see in your blogs. Your beautiful heart and your brilliant mind it’s just not fair that you should also be such an incredible artist/photographer. Nobody should have that much going for them. ;) hee hee* You’re going to do great things in this life and touch many people’s lives as you have already. Time will bring even more wisdom & experience for growth.

Marin Kristine - November 29, 2010 - 10:44 pm

Marilyn, I always find your words to be such an uplifting encouragement. Thank you soooo much for taking the time to bless me with them. I appreciate your continual support in all I do – and for how much you believe I am going to make an impact in this world and in others lives via my thoughts, wisdom, and words. I am definitely praying that I can (just a little bit) while bringing glory to God in the gifts and talents He has given me. Much gratitude. XOXO

Ligia - May 26, 2011 - 1:33 pm

I love this! Thanks for the encouragement
