Hello Beautiful Humans!
This blog post is a stream of consciousness. I hope it inspires you or helps you get to know me.
The last few years have put into perspective all the years of work I have put into making my life into what I want it to be. Truly, I can say I am living my dream. I am doing what I love for a living, I have a beautiful loving family and a growing menagerie of cats and plants. Looking back, I have learned so much from times when I wasn't my best, be it from illness or entitlement. And I took those times when I was at my best to flourish and find new ways to be. At 40, I am fully me and excited to see who I will be in another 40 years. All this to say that when I look through the lens of my camera I see the energy of life and love and I want to capture that for everyone.
My only want for my creative life is for people to find me and want to collaborate in making portraits and documenting their lives. That they grow to trust me and make me a part of their journey at important milestones. I am here for always to capture memories and make them into visual keepsakes. I cannot explain how much making art and taking photographs completes me. Every artist might say that and it is true! Creating things for ourselves and others through our lived experience is how we communicate to the world. It is what we offer to the greater Populus and cognitive ether. My offering is simple and honest, I want to make amazing photographs for everyone. I want photography to be accessible for all incomes while still being sustainable for me as a businesswoman.
It took some time to stop trying to be like others and embrace my inherent way of documenting an event or portrait. My documentary style mixed with the artistic flourishes I have found to bring a certain ethereal nature and magic is unique and not Pinterest perfect. There is realness and emotion in my imagery. I can be a quiet person but a force behind the camera and while at times I feel the imposter syndrome taking over deep down I know that I am magnificent and totally worth it.
2024 will be the year it all falls into place and my fear of failing will disappear and creative prosperity will take over bringing abundance to not only my life but all those that I contact.
