a portrait of real life, not of fabricated cinema.

I am Candace Parker. I love Jesus. I'm a photographer. An artist. always learning. always growing. born in '90. currently in California. I do this for me; I do this to remember.

This boy is perfect*.

“Perfect” is a word used here to describe how incredible everything is about a certain someone.

It’s not about the money we make,
It’s about the passions that we ache for.
What makes your heart beat faster,
Tell me now, what does your body long after?

—“Time & Confusion” by Anberlin

Facetiming with the love of my life :)

“Give me your all, baby.”

Saw Star Trek: Into Darkness today with Anthony.  It was so good!  And of course we picked the most awkward picture theme for post-movie photobooth pictures :)

Blurring lines between love and sin,
Can’t tell where you stop and where I begin.

  • Matt Larson: Can I get someone to open us up in prayer? How about someone who is always on target.... Someone who is named after a famous basketball playe-
  • Candace Parker: Haha, yeah, alright, I'll pray.

This is definitely the lightest I’ve been since probably my sophomore year of high school. I’m under 165, which is 20-30 pounds less than what I weighed when I graduated high school in 2008. And I’ve officially lost the stress weight I gained last year when the final blowup happened with Beau in June (I gained 10-15 pounds).
Best part of this: I haven’t done a dang thing different. It’s just from working/being on my feet/moving constantly. Very grateful and happy :)

Just goes to show that no matter how long you know someone, you’ll probably never know everything about them. And I like that. There’s always more to discover :) But I seriously find it weird that I did not know my best friend of 10 years’ favorite color haha
