“I’m not photogenic,” she told me, a serious look in her eyes as we were about to get out of my truck and walk into the desert for our shoot.

It’s a phrase I hear from most of my clients. It’s a feeling that is completely normal, yet entirely untrue. I have never met a single person who wasn’t photogenic. But when our inner critic takes the wheel, it makes sense that we see ourselves that way. The critic only wants to protect us. The beautiful truth, my loves, is that self kindness creates more love, and the inner critic is welcome to sit in the backseat because love is taking the wheel from here on out.

My gorgeous client chose this photoshoot after a traumatic experience over the summer, one that left her feeling entirely unsure of herself. Just as Mother Nature did, I bathed her in love while we created these images on a perfect September twilight. This session was a beautiful stepping stone on her path back to a deeply rooted love for her own preciousness.

My transition from a successful photographer to a 47-year-old student pursuing a career in hospice nursing is scary. On the surface, these two worlds seem entirely unrelated. However, both invite me to witness human existence, one capturing life through a lens with the other supporting life gracefully to its last exhale.

For years, my identity was entirely wrapped up in photography. I made my dreams come true and built a fabulous career, but over time, my once-dream life began to feel hollow and spiritually flat. I was exhausted from chasing the perfect shot and people who just wanted me to make them look thin and pretty, yet I stayed because it was what I was known for. The turning point came when my father passed away. Holding his hand as he took his last breath was a raw, unfiltered moment of profound grief and sudden clarity. Facing death forced me to confront my own inner shadows. I realized that while photography taught me how to observe life, my true calling was to be present for those transitioning out of it.

The practical shift wasn’t immediate. As a one-parent household with bills to pay, I spent years mulling over how to enter the hospice world when most positions were volunteer-based. When the realization finally struck me like lightning- that I should become a hospice nurse- it brought a new wave of vulnerability. I worried it would be embarrassing to return to school in my mid-forties after achieving success in another field. But I chose to do it anyway.

Wildly, there are parallels between a photographer and a hospice nurse: both require deep reverence for the human experience, acute attention to the present moment, and the ability to find beauty in the sacred vulnerability of being human on Earth. By examining the shift from the visual preservation of life to the spiritual stewardship of death, I reflect on what it means to completely reinvent oneself at 47.

What a profound gift it is to navigate this land solo, and feeling safe. I drove through the night from the Tucson desert to the high, green sanctuaries of Colorado, feeling unafraid the whole way. To move through the darkness alone on country roads is a freedom stolen from too many women on this earth, and I do not take a single mile of this freedom for granted. I am so very very grateful.

I guided my truck twenty miles down a rugged dirt road, deep into the aspens and jagged rock mountains, just to bathe in the rush of a hidden waterfall, such beauty reminded me that fairies and magic are, indeed, alive and well.

Now, in the final days of my 46th year and ecstatic to welcome my 47th next week, I find myself deeply in love with the alchemy of growing older, a sacred privilege denied to so many. I cherish my softer body, my wrinkles, my slowness. I look forward to being an old crone one day soon, if I’m lucky. To celebrate, I sought the comforting stillness of my own company, along side my dog of course, welcomed and nourished by Madre Naturaleza.

Mothering Myself To Loving My Body

I started my social media journey 15 years ago by sharing my photographs of mothers. I have always been drawn to photographing motherhood… the crest of a ripe, pregnant belly has always pulled at my heartstrings.

But it wasn’t until I became a mother myself, contending with breastfeeding and the healing I needed to do around my own body image, that I found my true photographic love: the postpartum body.

After decades of body hatred, I photographed thousands of women while learning how to mother myself back to loving my own body, just as I did when I was a small child dancing freely.

It took time. But inspired by the need to teach my son how to love his own "one wild and precious" body, I realized I had to mother myself, too. Now, I can say I love this body. I love this body that has been pregnant three times and given birth once. I love the rolls and the dimples of life-giving cellulite. I love that she is visibly aging.

I love her even on the days I don’t particularly like her, because that is what mothers do. We love even on the hard days.

Thank you to every precious soul in these photos, a small sample of the thousands I’ve been blessed to capture over the last 15 years. Thank you for being the beautiful mothers you are, so that I could learn how to better mother myself.

Also, thank you to my precious mother, d’Rachael, who birthed me and is the most wonderful mother. Mothering myself for me means I also love my first Mother, I need all the mothering I can get!
