I just HAVE to tell you a TEENY TINY bit about what God has been doing in my heart recently!

I mentioned before that Pursuit 31 held a surplus amount of incredible moments for me and my business. It was there that the Lord challenged and encouraged me in countless ways.

One day, I stood talking to a group of photographers when a sweet woman approached me. We began talking and connected instantly. Sometimes things like that happen: you just connect with people and this definitely was one of those times. She introduced herself as Kristin, a photographer, momma, and passion-filled dreamer. Kristin’s heart and my energy high-fived each other as we shared our passions and dreams.
Before long, she was telling me about a ministry she started that was aimed towards young women called Delight. She explained that young women were her passion; specifically young creatives. She loved to inspire them to see their true potential and wanted nothing more than to be a source of real, raw truth, that was relevant to today’s culture and society. Delight was a ministry that reflected that mission and before long, she asked me to pray about partnering with her and her ministry.

Now, sometimes you need to pray about things…..

And sometimes, the Lord says: “Don’t ask me if you should do something that is so obviously from me.”

And as Kristin spoke, thats exactly what the Lord said to me.

I didn’t know what it meant, but I knew that whatever she needed I would say yes.

So…..

When she asked me to partner in prayer for the ministry: I said yes.

When she asked me to be a leader at Delight’s retreats each year: I said yes.

When she asked me be a writer and blogger for Delight: I said yes.

Then, when she asked me to consider flying out to Washington state in January to dream and brainstorm for the direction of the ministry: I said yes.

And, here we are.

I am so thrilled you guys, like seriously.

I am happy to announce that Delight’s **new** blog will be launching NOVEMBER 1st!

Every week I’ll be writing about what it means to Be Confident. We’ll talk about everything from being confident in the story Christ has written for our lives, to fashion, to my mild obsession with bright red lipstick.

Cause let’s be honest- the most attractive thing a woman can put on every morning is confidence in who she is in Christ.

I. Am. So. Thrilled!

Here is a little sneak peek at Delight!

Be on the lookout for my post on November 3rd on the **new** rebranded blog : www.delightandbe.com (Its currently under construction).

Happy Thursday!

There’s something about fall that feels like comin There’s something about fall that feels like coming home.

Maybe it’s the cooler mornings, the golden light, or the way life naturally slows down after a busy summer. Whatever it is, this season has always been my absolute favorite. I get giddy just thinking about crisp mornings & cinnamon flavored things, crunchy leaves & flannel anything.

I love that fall invites us to gather around the table a little longer, cheer a little louder at football games, wander through pumpkin patches, and soak up the little moments that somehow become the biggest memories.

As a photographer, I get to witness this season through the eyes of so many wonderful families—and it’s a reminder every year that these moments are worth holding onto.

Tell me... half of you are ready for Fall to be here and half of you aren’t. Which team are you on ?! And what’s your favorite thing about fall? 🍂👇
Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four y Our Lina girl turned FOUR over the weekend! Four years of little Lina. Wow 🥹 She’s everything we prayed she would be & so much more. Lina is joyful, full of confidence, a lover of books , introverted & she’s never met a dog she didn’t like. Loving her is like watching your heart gain legs & curiously explore this big wonderful world. Our golden haired girl is so much fun. She loves “girl dates”, painting her nails, cooking with momma, anywhere there is water & “relaxing with a snack”. 

Angelina Joy, watching you bloom & grow is an honor. You radiate hope simply by being exactly who you are. I’m so abundantly grateful that I get to be your momma. 🫶🏻🐾🍓🌼🍭🫖

Young, wild and THREE ! Faith Marvelee you are al Young, wild and THREE !

Faith Marvelee you are all things vibrant, adventurous & you live life to the fullest. You are a living exclamation mark 🥹♥️ You have the biggest heart and love tending to those younger than you (babies). You love the idea of being a momma & are always quick to keep your siblings in line. Yo don’t do anything halfway- you’re ALL IN! If there is music, you’re dancing. If someone needs help, you’re the first to offer assistance. You rarely sit still & if you’re moving, you’re running. You’re my only child who potty trained in one week just because they wanted to! You’re spicy & fun, carefree and tender. I love you, little one. Cheers to three !!

Dave 🤎 What a whimsically adventure we are on. W Dave 🤎 
 What a whimsically adventure we are on. Who would have thought that this little life would be ours ? The days are long & the years are short. We are laughing through the heartache & seeking out the good. The ordinary joys that fill our chaotic days are what make us grateful. I’m so thankful for you. You’re are always willing to say “yes”, you are the first to volunteer to put a kid (and simultaneously yourself) to bed, you are relentlessly laidback (even if your wife things urgency is necessary at times), you were made for music, you desire nothing more out of life than to live it quietly & work with your hands, you’re witty & loyal & simple & kind.

The more we do life together, the more I see how we are velcroed together. Choosing each other, day by day, has made us whole. Even when the waves of life crash over us & knock the breath out of us, I always come up for air, looking for you. You’re my safe place. You’re home.

You’re so many things… but my favorite thing is that you’re mine. Happy birthday, Dave the babe✨🫶🏻
Well hello there ☀️   2026 has had the sweetest a Well hello there ☀️  

2026 has had the sweetest and slowest start.   The kids are praying for snow days, Dave is building garden beds (eeeekkk!!) and I’m caught up in a new book series.

Photography has already been SO fun.  Last week I spent a few days photographing the @restandplay30A retreat in sunshine-soaked 30A Florida.  It was SO fun connecting with the attendees and being refreshed by the precious reminder that rest and play are necessary.

While at the retreat, I felt the nudge to start blogging again.  
Who remembers when I used to blog each week?! 

At first I brushed it off.  But the more I thought about it, the more I realized how much I missed the connection and creative outlet blogging offered me.  Writing will always be special for me.  I have journals upon journals to prove it.  But writing in a way that allows for me to connect to others is something that I just can’t shake.

So, I’m posting this online, for the whole world to see.  You can expect at least 12 blog posts from me this year.  I’m hoping for more, but let’s not bite off more than we can chew 😉. Everything ranging from my most favorite photography works to everyday life as a momma of four, to gardening and everything in between.  I cannot wait to meet you over at www.annafilly.com/blog/ 👒♥️🌼
