We're Moving To Utah!

Happy 2020 from the Blair family! As we start the new decade, we are also sharing some big news! We are moving to Utah as missionaries/ church planters! We’ve been working towards this since God revealed His direction for us in May 2019, and will hopefully be packing up our lives to move by May of this year.

Why Utah? Why the sudden move cross-country?

Long story short: ten years ago, we were starry-eyed newlyweds, ready to pack our few belongings, leave Dothan, and head off to seminary. As it turned out, God had a different school in mind. We felt God had plans for us to be sent somewhere for building His Kingdom, but for the time He was leading us to stay, serve, and grow. So we put down roots, invested in ministry here (specifically at Ridgecrest Baptist Church), grew in faith, and grew a family. It's been a good, sweet, fruitful ten years.

Hello Again | A New Season

Hello Again | A New Season

This past Monday the world marked the advent of the Autumn season. It’s always been a favorite of mine, partially because my birthday is in October, but regardless there is just something refreshing about the crisp Autumn days after the heat of Summer. I grew up in Florida, so in other words, we don’t have much of an Autumn. I love it nonetheless. Even now living in South Alabama, we put out our pumpkins and wear our sweaters even though it is still in the 90s through most of October. We’re also in a new season for our family, in many more ways than one. We’re settling back into our home after the hurricane damage, and expecting our third baby (A BOY!) just before the Winter Equinox. It’s season full of change like the leaves.

Hello & Goodbye

Hello & Goodbye

I said goodbye to the job I have loved for over 5 years now. I shot my last wedding I have on the books this past Saturday, for a while at least. For the sake of laying out there, I still get plenty of inquiries and everything looks amazing - but to every single one God has said no. There is no explanation. Only a closed door. It feels scary to type this out because I still have hopes that I'll do some here and there. I have LOVED loved LOVED every minute, and feel so overwhelmingly thankful for the privilege God has given me over these years. Never in a million years did I see myself becoming a wedding photographer. It has been such sweet years of growth, learning how to find my feet as a business owner and wife, then minister's wife, mama, etc...It was just when I felt totally confident in my system, workflow and had been doing it long enough to feel so comfortable with my clients. I enjoyed the knowledge and experience and utilizing it to anticipate their needs. It truly brought me joy to serve however I could on these special, monumental days. Every single wedding has a special place in my heart. Every one was a true joy and honor. I cannot thank God enough for giving me this work, using it to grow my faith, to draw me closer to Him and bring such incredible people into my life. So many sweet friendships have been made and and beautiful places visited. It filled my soul. His gifts are good.
