Being behind the camera is one of my favorite places to explore creative freedom. I am obsessed with beauty, finding it in others and helping them see themselves in the same way, using photography. I have been so nervous to put myself out there again, concerning photography, but lately I have just felt the urge to do what I love. Some of it has to do with turning 27 and wondering why I haven’t gotten as far as I’d like to in my career.

New Beginnings, Love & Happiness

New Beginnings:

It’s been a long time since I’ve blogged. So long that opening myself up to be vulnerable to the online community feels strange, and scary. I like being this kind of uncomfortable - it is always terrifying to show any part of ourselves to anyone. Our hearts and our souls are so sacred. What happens if we are rejected? What happens if they disagree? What happens WHEN they don’t love me?
But the risk - it’s worth it.
I find myself constantly having moments of sincere thought that I feel the need to share, not with the intentions of changing anyones mind, but with the intention of not feeling alone. Community is such an important avenue of life, one that I would personally say I take advantage of on a daily basis.

So here I go. Please bare with me as I stretch my newborn wobbly bloggy legs out again. This will be all over the place.

Love...
