What is A Pen for Pearl?  A diary of sorts...a photography journal. 



A Pen for Pearl is dedicated to my grandmother, Gloria Pearl, in honor of her

faithfulness to handwritten letters and her love for the beautiful things in life.  

May her legacy be carried on through my journal as I correspond

regularly with you, always remembering the beauty that surrounds us.



I am a Tampa wedding photographer, and I specialize in capturing natural,

personal, romantic images.  I shoot primarily with film...a timeless medium.  I

would love for you to visit A Pen for Pearl frequently!  Consider it an

invitation to sit with me on my patio, enjoy a home brewed latte, and

browse through a handful of photographs together...

Dearest Friends,

There are times in my life that I have faithfully journaled everyday, and other times when life simply seemed altogether too busy for such a luxury. Looking back on those seasons in which I regularly spent time reflecting and writing, I see how abundantly thankful I was for the smallest of things. Often I would write out prayers, and then would see how tangibly those prayers were answered. These were most certainly joy-filled days!

I am picking up my journal today, and re-committing myself to this discipline.

May you also recognize the miracles in each day and give thanks for them…

With great affection,
Gina

LIFE'S LITTLE PEARLS

Christina - Always a good idea! :)

Hilary - How lovely... I use my handwritten cookbooks as a journal of our daily life as a family, because cooking is so much a part of who I am as a mother. You're right, it's truly a luxury to write about one's life... one of the simple pleasures in life. :-)

Gina Leigh - Hilary, that is a wonderful idea! I am hoping this year to make cooking a part of our daily life as a family...I admire you for how you enjoy it. It has always been more of a discipline, or perhaps I should say a lack of a discipline, for me! Nevertheless, I value the times that I spent growing up around my family's table and I want my family to enjoy the same. Thanks for sharing!

wendy g - yes Gina, I totally agree! And I love to look back and read what God was doing and saying at a certain time to see how faithful He's been. Merry Christmas! wendy g
