Words | Arlington, TN Photographer

    I truly believe some of the greatest words are the ones that are left unspoken. It is the parent that helps a stranger in front of their child, It is volunteering with out looking for a pat on the back, making your child feel safe and loved. It is also a premature baby holding her Mommas finger and smiling at the sound of her voice.
    Spoken words are also powerful. Making sure that I am setting the right example for my kids and speaking to them and my husband with respect in hopes that they speak to others the same way.  Growing up it was important to my parents to respect all people and to say "Please and Thank you" I remember going through the cafeteria line at school and one of the lunch ladies Thanking me for using good manners. I also know as a daughter that lost her Daddy way to soon that the last words we ever said to each other is "I Love You!"
    It is so easy to be negative. Especially because the Country and people are not having the easiest of times. You never know what is going on behind the closed doors of others lives. Just this past month I have had 2 friends make the hard decision to end their marriages, another has a 4 year old fighting cancer and a baby that was born premature and another family that is taking their 2 day old baby off life support.  Please be kind with your words. Every day make a conscience effort to point out the good in people and may your unspoken words be as powerful as well.
   


    This post is also part of a challenge from Fstop Frenzy. The challenge gives a word each week and as an artist/photographer it is great to see how different people interpert the word.  Photographs speak volumes! From remembering that your baby will never be that small again or the Joy you feel when looking at an image of a loved one still here or in heaven. I would love the opportunity to show you how powerful a memory can be when you hire a professional photographer to capture your memory. Call the studio at 901-292-3384 for a free consultation.

  1. Beautiful photo and I agree 100 % with you, speaking as one photographer to another, that photos speak volumes. It is so much easier for me to show someone something than to write about it. That said the power of words should never be under estimated and I admire those who have that amazing talent. http://youtu.be/Hzgzim5m7oU I'm sure you've seen this video, the power of words, funny thing is, it's the video that's powerful...which is all photos, which brings us around in a circle..funny eh! Well I just wanted to share that with you and I love that contest Fstop frenzy what a fab idea! take care, Tina
