    • “Speak out on behalf of the voiceless and for the rights of all who are vulnerable. Speak out in order to judge with righteousness and to defend the needy and the poor.” Proverbs 31: 8-10 - If you love Jesus and you do not defend the rights of these families, then I am boldly asking you to re-examine your faith. I’m asking you to review what the bible has to say about injustices like this. I’m challenging you to ask yourself how you think Jesus would respond to this situation. I chose an image of @chelsea.jean and her family (with permission) because they represent the “American dream”. They are a healthy, gorgeous, loving, kind *white* family. If these precious babies in the photo were at the border with their mom and dad seeking asylum from their country, our nations would be outraged if they were handled the way families south of the border are handled. This is as much of a race issue as it is a political one. I have had terrible chest pain today because of how stressed I am for these families. I remember when Austin was 2 years old...he would lose his mind if I left him to go upstairs for 5 minutes, let alone with a complete stranger. I don’t have all the answers to this problem but I can say with great confidence that doing nothing or turning a blind eye doesn’t pardon you of your responsibility to these families fleeing their country. It only makes you an accomplice to their issues. Love people. This is the greatest mandate we have in this life, short of loving God. The war isn’t over yet. Families are still being detained under illegal pretences. Over 75% of the refugees seeking asylum to the United States (which is well within their legal rights under international law) have been found to have made legitimate claims of a need for asylum. No parent would risk their lives and that of their children if the reward didn’t tremendously outweigh the risks. Don’t judge them. Love them by helping them. 🙏🏻
    • I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone for the support I have received regarding my last post. I’m genuinely so flipping excited to start this journey with you all and cannot wait to share more. If you have specific ideas for any topics you’d like to videos/images on, comment below! I want to make this as interactive as possible! ⚡️ )Still obsessed with my @gigipip hat!! It’s literally the perfect colour - it goes with everything!)
    • While change is often scary, the risks generally outweigh the reward. I’m excited to officially tell you babes that I’m moving full throttle into the world of “influencer”. Tricia Victoria & Co. will be a destination for photographers and women to challenge themselves, find confidence in what their mama gave them, grow in their personal life and expand their photographic skillset and business. It will advocate a body positive way of thinking and encourage women to be the very best version of themselves by using photography. I’m going to showcase more of the raw side life as a woman, wife, mother and entrepreneur. It’s my mission to make other women feel confident in themselves and find self worth in a way they’ve never known. I want to build up a community of strong, self-assured and confident babes! (If you’re still reading this, THIS IS REFERRING TO YOU!) I’ll still be doing photography and taking pictures of couples/weddings, but I’ll be including the rest of these aspects more and more in my feed and YouTube channel. I know that so many people would tell me to “get a new handle” for this and not combine photography and influencing, but I actually want to be unique in that I leverage both in this new step in my business. So here it is! I’m so excited about this new journey and I hope you’ll continue to join me! Ahhh!!!! 🎉 - PC: @noeltheartist
    • Belting out a power ballad or bossing my husband around with my camera...I’ll let you decide 😏 #instagramvsreality
    • What you think a lift shot looks like vs what it actually looks like 😂🙌🏻
    • When did our lives become so convoluted that we stopped evaluating our own opinions higher than that of complete strangers? Tell me how we have been so conditioned to do this? I love social media and being able to share my life, I love the community of people it brings into my life, I love that I can be inspired and potentially inspire others with art. But I don’t love how I feel when I’m constantly measuring myself to the next person. I don’t love how frustrated I get when people exaggerate their successes or they appear to have completely lost their humility in their work. I don’t love that people (including myself) have been motivated by “the gram” to go certain places or do certain things. We’ve lost the thrill of actual authentic experiences! I’m so tired of rolling my eyes at the popularity contest that is really all in our heads. If I have ever painted a different picture than the truth to you, then I owe you an apology. The only picture I want to paint is the truth. I want to share certain parts of my life, but I want to ensure that it’s not only the fluffy-fun-insanely-successful elements of it. Ugh, NOBODY LIVES THAT LIFE. NO ONE. I have personally had to bulldoze my way into every level of success/happiness I have ever had and it’s been the furthest thing from glamorous. I can honestly tell you that almost every time I have accomplished a goal of mine, the feeling of fulfilment leaves almost as quickly as it came. Life isn’t glamorous. It’s messy and beautiful and hard. It’s not the illusion that you find online from “perfectly happy people”. Don’t ever forget that! 💭
