What a beautiful discussion you had with Naomi. I am so happy I found you here after following you on IG! And I was so excited to see that you interviewed Naomi, as I took a photography class with her and was blown away by the way she sees and captures the world around her. You are both so incredible and inspiring!

What a nourishing conversation, Rachel - I love it! "I felt as though God was saying “I love you” over and over again through the beautiful sunsets, magnificent landscapes, amazing skies, and especially through the blessing of my family" - I'm lingering on this thought x x

Naomi is such an artful communicator, to be so present in a moment, to hold it in gratitude and then to articulate the experience with wonder and reverence.

Naomi is truly a gem. She sparkles. It would be amazing if we could connect with her together when I am in CA.

I love this post. I feel exactly the same way. I love taking photos of all the beauty and complexity of God’s creation. I also agree with the seasons in our lives and the need to push ourselves to look outward and then to see the light and love of Jesus. Loved the amazing photos. Thanks for sharing
