 I have changed the name of my company from MarJen Photography. I have had the name for the last two years and at the time it was relevant but now it is not. I have done some soul searching over the last few months and talked to a few people about it. I was challenged by Alyssa from Chasing Galilee to express my faith through my work and through my art. I was reading the bible online when I came across some verses, Colossians 3:23 and 24. The website had the bible in many versions and I found a version of the verses that went like this, “Whatever you might do, work from the soul, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that you will receive from the Lord the reward of the inheritance. You serve the Lord Christ!” That really spoke to me. From The Soul. Other versions said, happily, joyfully or heartily but this one sounded so much more, it hit me. From The Soul. I realise that I will be taking pictures of paying clients and that I will be doing the work for a person but through my work for that person I want to be able to say that I did it from the soul and as to Lord. I hope that this comes through in the photography. The funny thing about that is, Sol, which is a Spanish word that sounds the same as ‘Soul’ means sun or sunlight. I hope that my light shines that all might see His good works through me and that I don’t forget to give God the glory and the recognition as Matthew 5:16 says.
