The NEW Me–and quite possibly what I’m CALLED to do

For quite awhile I have been doing this blogging thing simply because I have for so long.  Not because I wanted to.

For quite awhile I’ve been in love with photography and that’s really what I want to do.

For quite awhile, above all else, I have been a follower of Jesus Christ.

For way too long I have kept those things separated.  I couldn’t mention God in my “place of business” because, well, you know, it might turn away potential clients.

Well, that all ends today.

Success isn’t doing what other people think your supposed to do. Success is doing work that you’re proud of, having a reputation that you’re proud of.

As of today, whatsthislifefor.org, whatsthisphotofor.com, whatsmylifefor.com and tobykeathley.com all lead to the same place. RIGHT….HERE!

I love taking pictures because I am constantly in awe of the beauty that God has created.  There is not….there cannot…be separation between The Creator and what He has created.

My goal is to please the Lord and in doing that, you, as my client, will be pleased as well.

My goal is NOT to make a quick buck.  I get paid only what you’re able to pay.

Broke?  Pay nothing.

Swimming in the dough or anywhere in between?  Pay me what you feel is fair.

Think FREE equals CHEAP??  Think again.  Just give me an opportunity to throw that misconception out the window.  Then, if you’re disappointed, which you won’t be, feel free to pay hundreds and thousands elsewhere:-).

That’s the story folks.  This new place will allow me to blog if I feel the “itch” and it allows me to show you the beauty God has placed in front of my lens.

What more could I ask for?

There’s no need to change a thing.  If you’re already a subscriber via RSS or email, nothing changes.  If you’re not, get er done :-).

That previous line may or may not be correct.  I think RSS subscribers are ok, but email might be another story.  I have your email addresses if so though, so you’ll be getting a reminder:-).

And now….the reason I’m here.

A favorite or two over the past few years of shoots and shots…

    I’m impressed by your decision to have clients choose how much to pay you.  It sounds like you’re really setting up a ministry with your photography. I really enjoyed checking out the pictures in this post.  Looks like your hard work on the websites paid off – everything looks great!

      Thank you Elizabeth!! Seems like it took forever, but I like the end
      result. Hoping I can glorify His name through it all.

    Love the new look! I really like the attitude of paying what you can afford. Well, at least with my kids. I’ve always taught them not to have a set rate when babysitting, lawns, etc… As long as they don’t get taken advantage of. They have been so blessed having that attitude!
