Hello Again.

Hello, friend.

After many years away, I will be here from time to time. Not just as a photographer. But as a wife, mother, friend, artist, writer, and teacher.

When we finally had our miracle baby back in 2017, I made a very important decision: I quit all social media and paused my thriving photography business to focus on raising my daughter and cultivating a very quiet life with my close family and friends. I still seek that world, but something really BIG happened.

And I mean big.

In 2021, I almost died from post-surgery complications, sepsis, and a rare and very severe autoimmune disease that was cancer-like in nature. I was bedridden and in a wheelchair for about 6-7 months. I had three surgeries in one year. It took me another 6 months to walk again and gain average functionality back. The experience was harrowing and caused a true cascade of “worst-case” scenarios.

In this dark night of the soul, my husband, daughter, and I were saved by THREE things exactly: 1) our faith, 2) the love we had for each other, and 3) the love and care of our family and friends. Without their long-term care and love and the GRACE and MERCY and MIRACLES of God, I would not be here— or at the very least, I’d still be in a wheelchair.

Ours is a story even now I cannot fully wrap my mind around. I suspect it will take me years to heal and understand. But I promised God, if he saved me—if he saved US—I would spend all of my days telling everyone about it… and serving Him and his people with everything I have to give.

So, here I am telling you about it.

There will be much more to come. It will still be a quiet, private life spent in books, gardens, and an open page with my sweet daughter, husband, friends, and family… but it will also be an artist’s life who is just trying to serve others, love God, and tell everyone that MIRACLES DO HAPPEN.

GODSPEED TO YOU,

Kimberly
