It's TIME! What's the big deal? What's up? Nouvelle Vie Photography is ALL NEW! Well, except for me, haha! After a few years of shooting under the NVP name, and after several years of prayer, AND after several years of "What's the name again?" "How do you spell that?" etc... I have decided to rebrand myself and my business. I am now...drum roll please...
"Why in the world would you go through all that trouble," might you ask? I'm glad you did, I'd LOVE to share :)
When I started this company, it was because a precious friend asked me to take pictures of her 3mth old little girl. She offered to pay me and we (I and my gorgeous book keeper/hubby) wanted to do this the right way, legally. I came up with a name, "Nouvelle Vie Photography", very quickly and really had no clue who I was in all this yet. I mean for heavens sakes, I had JUST started! All I knew was that Christ had blessed me and brought me "new life" in a multitude of ways (ergo "New Life Photography") and hey, who doesn't love French stuff?!?!
I've been on a soul search for about the last year or so and realized that even as NVP, a little sparrow has always seemed to find it's way to having a presence in the things I've done (check the watermarks). I knew that God was in control and He has been sooooo faithful to me and my family over the years, all I could think about were several scriptures that embodied how I felt...
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.
♥ Matthew 10:28-30
So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
♥ Matthew 10:30-32
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
♥ Luke 12:5-7
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid;
you are worth more than many sparrows.
♥ Luke 12:6-8
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
♥ Matthew 6:26
Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young—
a place near Your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
a place near Your altar, LORD Almighty, my King and my God.
♥ Psalm 84:3
Many of you know the struggles we have had with starting businesses in a lousy economy, the loss of my father, the loss of some very dear friends, fires (ugh) and just all around life stuff. These verses have been such a huge comfort for me. I knew that a "sparrow" had to be a part of the new name and because this is my "heart", well... now you know :) AND the fact that people can actually spell it...
BIG BONUS!
