Cyn Kain Photography

It is that one time of the year dedicated to love. The day we are supposed to show appreciation to the loved ones in our lives. While the day is a great excuse to eat lots of treats, swoon over lovely flowers and is full of fun - whether it is a date night with your better half or a night out with your best ladies - today can also be a great reminder for us all to act with love more often. While re-branding last year I knew I wanted a tagline/signature (for lack of a better word) for people to associate me and Cyn Kain Photography with. With much thought and word play, I decided on "Choose Love". It is simple, but absolutely how I feel about every situation life throws at us. I know that these words have actually impacted people which makes me so thankful. A few months after my brand launch I received this message from an amazingly talented photographer - this photographer who I call a friend - a friend who I have actually never met (we connected through MTH) - a friend who has a HUGE, kind heart. She was going through a rough time and said this :: "... I've been so angry, confused and bitter...when she called me today, I realized that I had to CHOOSE LOVE. Loving someone is a choice, and your sweet words came flooding in. I get it now." Her choice to act with love was a turning point in how she would handle this overwhelmingly tough time in her life. Yes, it can be hard. Yes, it is not always fun. But love is always a choice. Reminding myself to live like this, full of love, has made me a better person. Love always does a body and mind good. Love always prevails. Now go eat some yummy chocolates and spread some love! Happy Valentine's Day!   

I get super excited on Tuesdays to see everyone's Tuesday Shoesday post so I decided to jump on the bandwagon. I mean, I adore shoes - I look at them online all.the.time. - so why not share what I see...the good, the bad and unique. It is awesomely bright and sunny  today with a  high is 67 degrees. This gorgeous weather is what lead me to these shoes. I want to put on a fun bright dress, these Christian Louboutin shoes and skip around town. Can y'all tell I am so ready for spring? They're simple and versatile. What do y'all think?
