    Love how you have given the daisy a spotlight to light up it up and the rest darker. Beautiful edit Kelly

    The editing is just lovely Kelly. The sepia tones on the edge give a nice warmth to the focus of the flower. Have a wonderful week!

    Great quote, no, awesome quote! And your B&W photo is really lovely. I always have such a hard time taking the color out of my garden shots. Do you?

    I really do love that photo. Also the quote is a great reminder. I need to post that one to read daily, although I too try to find the wonder and have learned to appreciate the small things that are now the big things in my life. 🙂

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
