Hey there! Welcome to my website, I am so happy you are here!! I figured it's only fitting to use my first blog post to introduce myself and my heart behind this little business of mine. So, let's get started!
I'm Macey. I love Jesus, people, and photography.
I'm currently a sophomore business student at what I truly believe is the greatest school in the world, Samford University. Samford is a small Christian school nestled into the mountains of Birmingham, Alabama, where everybody knows everybody and there is always something going on. The community there is really something special- everyone there, from the students to the faculty, are friendly, encouraging, and kind. We are like one big family! And did I mention the campus looks like it's straight out of a magazine?! It makes going to class every day not so bad. I am so blessed to call such a wonderful place home.
I'm a grateful believer in Jesus Christ. When I was 16 I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior. It was the best decision I have ever made and it has changed my heart (and my life) dramatically. I am endlessly grateful for the grace Jesus displayed for us on the cross, and his great love for us. He is sooo good to me it's unreal. I pray that this little business of mine glorifies Him and that I never lose sight of the fact that none of this would be possible without Him.
I'm a photographer. Eep, that still makes me so giddy to say!! I've loved taking pictures for as long as I can remember, but my passion really skyrocketed a little over a year ago when I got my first DSLR camera. I started learning how to use manual mode and taking pictures for friends before their sorority formals. It brought me so much joy to deliver beautiful images to them that they were excited about! Another thing I started doing was reading photography blogs daily, purely to admire all the beautiful pictures! I fell in love with the idea of capturing the happy moments of someone's life for them and knew I wanted to turn my passion into a career.
Recently, I was blessed enough to be able to upgrade my camera. That's when I knew it was time to go for my dream and start my business! Since I decided to go for it, I have learned so much already- how to use my equipment effectively, how to pose people, how to edit, how to create a website... the list goes on and on! I am so excited to keep learning and growing- I know I definitely have a long way to go! But for now, I am grateful to be right where I am.
My business is small, but I have big dreams for it. I hope that I can use my gifts to bless others with images they will cherish for the rest of their lives. I'll be sharing all about my journey as a new business owner, as well as all my sessions, here on the blog, so be sure to check back often!
