SWEET WORDS

Anna is amazing! Not only is she so sweet, but also she does a fabulous job bringing a group of people together in a creative and photogenic way. She is great at teaching both guys and gals, who may be camera shy, how to be a part of creating a great photo.

Anna was fantastic, Very friendly and helpful with advice when I asked for it. The entire experience was great. She went above and beyond what she needed to do. I also really enjoyed the various poses she had us do. These were things we would have not thought of in the moment and probably ever. I was so caught up emotionally. Everything came out wonderfully because of her.

Anna has a passion for people and for photography. When she mixes the two, she is unstoppable! On top of all that, she is the sweetest, most thoughtful, and kindest person. Meeting with Anna one-on-one prior to the big day was one of my favorite parts of my experience with her. She made sure that we not only built a professional relationship, but also a life long friendship as well!

Life is beautiful. It’s exotic & wonderful, full Life is beautiful. It’s exotic & wonderful, full of adventure& full of love. As we learn, as we grow, it just gets sweeter, more enriched.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You will go through hard things. Sometimes those hard things seem overwhelming & unavoidable.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But... love. Love makes the hard things  meaningful.
I’ve been quiet. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lif I’ve been quiet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Life is full of ups & downs & I don’t just want to showcase the ups to you. I want to be honest , real. There is a power in being real.  It connects us to people. But I havent known what to say. 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You have been so sweet to message & check in. Dave & I have been in a season of waiting, hoping, & praying. We prayed for a miracle. We hoped for a positive outcome... and when we heard what we hoped we would not hear... our hearts broke.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grief is such a strange thing. One minute you’re fine & the next you’re on the floor. It comes in waves, crashing hard one moment, & pulling away, barely there the next. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Grief cannot be explained, but neither can the peace that comes with it when Jesus is who you’re clinging too in the midst of it all.  I told a friend this week “In so many seasons, I have asked God, ‘WHERE ARE YOU?!’ But in this season, I know exactly where he is. He’s here with me, in the midst of all of my pain, he won’t let go of me. He mourns with me, & his love is the hug that my soul craves.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the midst of the peace & the ever crashing emotions, It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to cry.
It’s okay to say, “ I can’t right now.”
It’s okay to be silent.
It’s okay to want to talk about it.
It’s okay to not say all the right things.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To friends who wonder HOW to handle when a love one grieves, all I can say is show up. Let them be their tangled mess, but also, let them know you’re there. Send the flowers or make a meal, offer conversation & don’t be offended when they don’t know what to do or say.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let them be not okay with you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To my friends who find themselves grieving, I understand the weight of loss. I feel the depths of it with you. It’s okay to not be okay.  You can be not okay with me. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But also... never forget...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One day, you will be 🤍
One of my favorite Winter weddings 🤍🌲 I’m One of my favorite Winter weddings 🤍🌲 I’m spoiled with the most wonderful clients & wedding vendor friends. 🌸

MC, You’re as radiant as ever, and marriage looks perfect on you. #annafillybrides #annafillyphotography
Twirling into 2021 with hope & joy.

Sharing one of my favorite weddings while I do 😍📷🌟 #annafillybrides #annafillyphotography
Merry Christmas to all, & to all a good night! ✨ Merry Christmas to all, & to all a good night! ✨ 🎄♥️
I hope wherever you are, that your glass is full f I hope wherever you are, that your glass is full filled. I hope you’re surrounded by those you love most & that meaningful moments are blossoming & budding all around you. I hope that you’re able to shake off the worries of the world & that your heart is warmed by the love that you have & the love you receive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today is special, and so are you 🤍
2020 has been such a mess. But I’m the midst of 2020 has been such a mess. But I’m the midst of the mess, I find my weary heart full of hope.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve had doctors appointments on doctor’s appointments over these last few weeks. Dave has had skin biopsies, muscle biopsies, an MRI & countless tests. After a year of weird health concerns & weariness... We still don’t know what is wrong .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m tired. It’s so hard watching the person you love most struggle & suffer. But, in typical David fashion, every step of this uncomfortable journey has made me love him more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the midst of all the uncertainty, Dave has selflessly reminded me of what we are certain of. It’s so appropriate, especially with Christmas being just around the corner.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will have trouble in this life. Some experiences won’t make sense, some people will hurt us, some things will be unfair... but then... there’s Jesus.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s Jesus, arms wide open, loving us just because we are who we are. There’s Jesus, our comfort, our peace & our joy, not wanting anything from us, just us.  There’s Jesus who came Into the world as a babe- a sweet, helpless babe- for us. He was the ultimate gift God could give. Wrapped in love, and delivered to the world, there’s Jesus.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“A thrill of hope, a weary world rejoices,” because in the midst of the chaos, there is peace.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know this year hasn’t been what we have hoped for. But maybe, just maybe, it’s time we put our hope into something different. 🤍
