Beginnings {San Antonio Area Photography~Family, Children, Senior}

Oh the promise that a new beginning holds. The hope, anticipation, excitement. The very act of marking off the last day of the last month of the last year from the calendar and seeing the new year in all of its beautiful potential. It is a gift. One to be treated carefully, but also to be used completely.

THP is in a new place. Literally. Adventure and discovery await as I journey out in this new city and meet the wonderful people that also call this place home. There are stories yet to be told and I like hearing  people’e stories. The happy ones. The hard ones. And all the stories in between.

 

 

If you are interested in booking an appointment, please email me at tharrisphoto@gmail.com. Here is the link to my Session Pricing.  I am offering a limited time special of $50 off sessions booked now through July 15th.

Excited for the adventure that lies ahead,

Endings and Beginnings

This post has been written and re-written in my head several times.  Beginnings are fun, exciting, challenging and endings are typically a bit sad.  But for every beginning there has to be an ending.  When we moved to Rockport 5 years ago, I was really seeking God about what His plan for me was.  I had been taking pictures, however really just of my family and a couple of close friends.  As I began to really seek God, He opened doors and I knew starting a photography business  was something I was supposed to do. I started in April of 2011 and it has been fun, exciting, and challenging.  This journey has been very fulfilling and rewarding.  I love creating, I love capturing special moments of families, pregnant mommas, graduating seniors, and kiddos.  I met some incredible people and seen some incredible places around our little beach town.

With all of that being said, an ending has come.  Not for my business, rather my location.  Our family will be moving to San Antonio in just a few short weeks.  We know God has called us.  So we have a beginning to look forward to.

In considering our move and my business I have prayed about what my next step should look like.  We are very much in the middle of packing and just all of the things that go along with relocating, so I am not exactly sure what my next step will be.  There are just some business related things I need to figure out and then exactly where I want Tiffany Harris Photography head in the future.  I am excited about some ideas that I have and look forward to sharing those.

I know it’s very obvious things have been quiet around here and will probably remain that way for a bit longer.   I look forward to sharing more as I know more.  It has been a blessing serving the community of Rockport and the surrounding area for these last four years.  I am both sad for the ending and excited for the new beginning God has.

 

Blessings,

My thoughts 'on becoming'….

Welcome to my new blog. I  have written this first entry two other times and just a minute ago, I actually deleted what I had last written on January 4 of this year and started over. This is a blog that I have really wanted to do for a very long time. I have put it off time and time again. My main excuse has been that I just don’t have the time. However, I think the truth is that I have been intimidated.  I have been afraid of failing. If any of you follow Angie Smith’s blog, her entry entitled Canvas, spoke right to me. I have been staring at a blank canvas, so to speak, and letting thoughts of fear, intimidation and excuses cause me to be paralyzed. This blog has been like the blank canvas.  It was an idea birthed in my heart and one that I would find myself thinking about with such excitement.  I have put it off long enough.  Now if I may,  I would like to take a minute to explain my deep thoughts ‘on becoming’.

“The road to being is first in becoming.”-Tiffany H. Before we can be we must become. To be a wife or mother, one must first become a wife or mother. To be a friend we must first become someones friend. We can apply this to our spiritual life as well, to be Christlike, one must first become a Christian. I love the definitions of ‘become’ and ‘becoming’ as found in Webster’s. The word become as a verb: to come into being and also to be attractive on, befit in appearance; look well on. Then when we look at the word becoming as a noun: any process of change. How appropriate in light of my earlier thoughts. Now let’s take a quick look at a couple of verses in Scripture that talk about this.  John 3:30 is one of my favorite and so simply stated, “He must become greater; I must become less.”  (NIV) This speaks of process doesn’t it?  Another great one is found in John 1:12 “But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who might believe in His name.” (KJV)

As I have thought about this blog and  its purpose, it will be two-fold.  First, I pray that it will be a source of hope and encouragement through written words.  Secondly, I have been fulfilling a a new-found passion for photography.  My mind sees so many things as potential photos.  God is providing more and more opportunities.  Besides just everyday photos of my own family and nature, I have taken pictures of a baby, siblings,  a graduate, and a bride.  These are all in the process of growth and change.  Therefore the other purpose for this blog is to post those photos.  I hope they will serve as reminders of happy times in your life.  Or even of hopes and dreams you may have for the future.  The canvas stands ready to be filled and I pray that you will be blessed as you take the journey of becoming who Jesus wants you to be.  I know I am ready.  Thank you for reading my thoughts ‘on becoming’.
