Miracles for Mickey

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Okay, so maybe Christmas is technically over, but since we are now officially treating every day like Christmas... MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I knew I wanted to do at least one blog post about Christmas and I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I've spent basically the whole month of December trying to think of exactly what I wanted to say. And you know what I came up with? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. I was stressing out really bad because it was Christmas and I was focused on getting presents for everyone and I was stressed about school and doctors appointments and I was trying to think of a good Christmas themed story that I could talk about and for some reason I could not think of a single story. I thought of taking an easy route and just going with the classic, "What Does Christmas Mean To You" topic. And of course when I think of what Christmas means to me, I think of Jesus Christ. I think of his birth and his life and how much he has ...

Bear with me. I have a lot of thoughts and stories running through my head right now about this topic, so hopefully I can adequately write down everything I'd like to. So first off, since part of the title of this post is "Aware of Angels" I thought it would be appropriate to explain exactly what that is. If you have explored my blog at all, (even though there's not much to explore right now), you might have noticed that there is a tab on the left side.

Since it's based out of Utah, the majority of the photography has been done within the state, but there have been a few families who have traveled ...

Aware of Angels @season.atwater.photography Hello and welcome to my blog! I'm going to be completely honest right now. I don't know what I'm doing. I legit don't know the first thing about blogging! But I guess I have to start somewhere so...here it goes! Since this is my first ever blog post, I figured it might be a good idea to introduce myself by giving you my best "first day of school introduction". My name is Mikaela Gage but my family calls me Kaela and my friends call me Mickey so really you can call me whatever you like. I am 19 years old and I'm the only girl in my family with four older brothers who are also my best friends. My favorite colors are blue and pink. I love dogs, penguins, being outdoors, MARVEL, Netflix, Sprite, and Jesus. I also have a disease called von Hippel-Lindau. Now the first time I ever heard about von Hippel-Lindau was about a year and a half ago when I was diagnosed, so I'm still learning. But basically,...
