Archived all my posts in hopes to lean into more of my heart in what I put up here on this page, and I feel ready to step back into this space with intention and a creative direction that is fueled by my inner child.
First post is a re-introduction of self. Of direction. Of purpose.
I’m sharing a self portrait as my first post because this exact type of photography is what got me hooked 15 years ago. I just turned 30, and it’s really beautiful to see that I’ve been in love with photography for half of my life.
My first memories with my own camera were filled with pure expression. I would be so excited to come home from school everyday and play with my camera. I’d take it on neighborhood walks, and bring it to my childhood backyard to take creative self portraits.
My backyard had a cherry blossom tree that my parents planted when I was born. I loved that tree so much, and took some of my first ever self portraits sitting on the ground, with my back against it as a teenager.
I would see visions in my mind and then go out with my camera and use it as a tool for bringing these visions into the physical realm through the camera.
Each photo set I’d take would be a story. I’d write poems and musings for each of these expressions.
That passion and expression has just evolved and expanded over time, and I’m so grateful.
I’ve had ideas of mixed media photographs for a while now, and I will be sharing more of my inner workings here.
Ultimately, this is my page and I get to choose which direction it goes. I’m choosing to be very intentional with all that I share here~ I know that will land in the purest way for those that see my art.
Thank you, love you all-
xoxo Bailey 💗
