Photo Challenge Creative by Beth, Oak + Oats

For the past few weeks, I have been really bettering my Instagram and phone photography. I had slowed down my use of Instagram (even though I adore it) because my camera on my phone wasn't working well. Shortly after this challenge began, I upgraded to the iPhone 6 and have quit since. I have been having an absolute blast taking pictures around my home and utilizing different apps to create the look I want.

When I decided to start taking the time with my photography, I decided to model my images after a few of my favorite IG accounts. Do you follow any of these?

After I digested all of the beauty within these instagram photos, I decided to follow the challenge and start taking some pictures of my own. Below are some of the photos I am particularly proud of.

Color - Coming Next Week!


Oak and Oats

15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. 
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks

16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. 
Proverbs 31:15-17
Proverbs 31 is a famous scripture in the Bible that refers to the (almost) perfect woman and wife. Proverbs 31 woman works for an earning, saves her money, cooks food for her family, buys land, submits to her husband, and more importantly loves Jesus and God with her entire being. Proverbs 31 is an aspiration for many Christian women. I am so blessed to have an actual glimpse into who that woman is; an example to follow in the flesh. That person is my mother.

Every trip I get to spend with her is so precious and can guarantee laughs, prayer, and jammin' out to a good tune. Over the weekend, my mom and I were able to visit with family and friends in the hills of Georgia and mountains of Tennessee.

I have been learning my camera for trips like this one where there is so much opportunity to capture memories. I feel that I did a successful job!
