This is one of my portraits of
I just read the about section on her organization’s website and I just love stories like hers so much. Turning our pain and life experiences into purposeful Living as much as we’re capable of. That’s what its all about! 💥
I’m continually floored by the generosity and just pure love that I’ve seen among people in the community. The women I’ve met are truly incredible. 💜💜💜
It inspires me to be really honest with anyone who lands on this, about how my own personal journey and major life lessons over the past 15 years have been through incredibly difficult experiences with mental health.
In addition to being a professional commercial photographer, the process of creating images has always been a powerful healing tool for myself, and sometimes for others.
In a nutshell, I’m gearing up to combine sharing my life experiences & stories around mental health and grief with photography as a healing tool. And to do things with that in a way that’s beneficial to people.
Posting this helps make it more real and therefore closer to happening, instead of just keeping it all bouncing around my head.
I know that time is precious.
At about the same time that my sister passed away, there was a new song out that always seemed to be playing on the radio and making me pay attention and cry my eyes out thinking about her. I have to look up the artist and name of the song but you’ve likely heard it - the lyrics repeat ‘I want to see you be brave’. It seemed like my sister wanted me to let those words sink in, and a few years later they’re coming in loud and clear.
Thank you all for inspiring me to share
🙏💜💫
