I met with a client the other day and from the beginning of our meeting I had this lack of peace. Though I really liked the people, I felt inwardly that this wasn't a good match for me. They loved my work, especially my prints with Scripture, and truthfully I really liked them.
However, there was this lack of peace.
Along with shooting through God's Eyes, my prayer for me as a photographer is to shoot through His Mind. A lot of people wouldn't outright understand that, but what it means is listening to His Spirit and succumbing to His Will rather than my own.
Sometimes when I'm in a middle of a shoot, I find myself praying seeking the Lord for His direction...He's never let me down. Now you might be thinking, "well if you're a professional photographer shouldn't you know what you're doing?" I would answer, "yeah, I've got the years of schooling and the experience." But you know, being dependent on God for all things doesn't make me less knowledgeable about what I'm doing, but makes me more powerful because my power comes from the creator of the universe who knows all things. He controls the lighting, the smiles that are generated, the conversation and the technicalities of the equipment.
He's NEVER let me down.
Check out the bride and her nephew. Precious. Precious in God's Eyes.
