Welcome to Pilgrim Photography!
I will be using this blog as a way to keep everyone updated on upcoming events, sharing exciting new things I'm learning about the art of photography, as well as promoting some of my work. I'm so excited to get started on my senior project and any other work the Lord calls me {and my camera} to!
As many of you know, I've spent the last few weeks agonizing over finding the perfect name for my photography business. The creative part of my brain wouldn't allow me to just settle for Jamie Stuart photography. I bounced around many ideas before deciding on, what I think is, the perfect name. Let me take a few minutes to explain the meaning behind the name...
Pilgrim Photography
Definition- "One who embarks on a quest for something held sacred."
Now, obviously this isn't the only definition pilgrim can have. I could be referring to the English separatists who founded Plymouth Colony in 1620 or someone who journeys to a religious shrine. But...I'm not. By this definition, I'm referring to myself, as well as everyone else who belongs to the body of Christ. We, as Christians, are on a quest. We are on a quest for godliness. For sanctification. For our eternal home in Heaven. And ultimately, for Jesus. Jesus is the one and ONLY thing we are called to hold sacred. He is our light and our salvation. My hope is that my work will be a visual testimony of my own quest for Jesus. I pray that with each picture, you will be able to see something new and exciting that the Lord has done in my life, and in turn encourage you on your own quest.
"Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
who have set their hearts on pilgrimage."
--Psalm 84:5--
I have set my own heart on this blessed pilgrimage and I invite you to join me on it!

"Haste thee on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged with prayer. Heaven's eternal days before thee, God's own hand shall guide us there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, soon shall pass thy pilgrim days. Hope shall change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to prayer."

Jamie, How excitiing. I know you are going to do great, and the Lord will teach you many wonderful things thru your pilgrimage....
I'm so impressed! And not only by the fact that Jamie the amazing photographer artist chose a picture I took for her profile picture, but simple by my amazing best friend without whom I wouldn't be where I am today or the person I am today. I want every who reads this to know that your pilgrimage has already inspired my own and I am so excited to see how it will continue to do so in the future. I LOVE YOU JAMES!!!!
This is awesome! Great use of color - very calm, soothing, inviting, AND interesting. I am very excited for you & your senior project!

What a beautiful page, I really love the color you chose---it is like the color of a clay road that you might see winding through the countryside. A pilgrim road!
Mrs. Boelcke left the above comment, I'm not sure why it is listed under Mrs. Struble
Nice observation, Mrs. B! I tried to pick colors that gave a woodsy or nature feel--to try and fit with the pilgrim theme.
