Faith-Driven
Business Model
I've been getting more inquiries lately for swimwear sessions, and fashion-driven swimsuit branding. And while I'm honored by every request that comes my way, I do have to lovingly decline these types of sessions.
Not because I don't value the artistry or intention behind them, but because my photography is a calling, not just a career. My gifts were given to me by God, and I strive to use them to glorify Him in every frame I take. I want to spread His word, and bring honor to His name with what I do.
It's not just a passion, it's a purpose.
That means I'm intentional about the kind of lens I shoot through, and I'm not just talking about the one on my camera.
Photographing through a Biblical lens means I have to realize that some content may not be glorifying to God, if it sends a message to others that I don't see through that same lens myself. Even when swimwear is tasteful or modest, it still has the potential to be viewed through eyes that seek lust instead of light. Because of this, I choose not to photograph swimwear, boudoir, or intimate couple sessions—out of reverence for God, and out of a desire to protect my heart, my values, and my family.
That choice isn’t a judgment of anyone else’s work or journey. I deeply respect other photographers and models who serve different spaces and audiences. I’ll even refer clients when I can, because I believe there’s room for everyone to walk in their purpose.
But for me—my path looks a little different. And I’m okay with that.
Because every time I raise my camera, I want it to reflect not just a moment—but the mission.
