What's your Enneagram type? I recently learned I'm a 4 - really common for creative folks. Of course! Knowing my Enneagram has been so helpful in helping me understand how I experience the creative process.

💭 Historically, my relationship with my work was in flux, swinging between deep appreciation and longing. I’ve craved the ability to unconditionally and sustainably love what I create, to feel that the heart and dedication I pour into my work are mirrored by how I see it. More than anything, I’ve longed to stay on an authentic path, one that I consistently feel confident in.

The concept of the Enneagram Type 4 has totally normalized this experience! Phew! 😮‍💨 And now I know that there are words a Type 4 might need to hear, affirmations to practice to create more balance and equanimity in the creative process.

If you want to take the Enneagram test, you can do it for free here. I'd love to know your type and if it fits into your experience in this world! https://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/classictest

Also, if you want the affirmations you can go to this blog post and take the ones that resonate with you. https://www.pitayaphotography.com/blog/affirmations-for-the-enneagram-type-4-photographer-embracing-your-unique-vision/

With gratitude,

Mini session season is upon us, and it's time to start thinking about where, when and how you'll get your family together for a painless and beautiful photo session.

A lot of the familiar locations require quite a drive from Marin County, so I love finding spots that embody the Northern California beauty but are easy to get to.

Explore one of San Rafael's hidden gems as mini session season approaches. This spot is convenient, which is a must for busy parents, yet embodies the striking natural beauty that Marin County is known for. Book your mini session today!
