Living with a Whirlwind Mind
I remember always buzzing as a kid. I was as quiet about it as I could manage, at first, because as a girl, I wasn’t allowed to be disruptive, and I was taught to internalize my neurodiversity. But, I was always buzzing inside. To the outside world, I was a flighty daydreamer that never lived up to my potential. I was a smart, inquisitive child, but school just wasn’t my jam until much later in my academic career.
What you can expect from me as your photographer
I’m just like you. I have hopes, fears, big dreams, insecurities, things that I am great at and things that I am not so great at. And just like you, if I think something is going to be too hard or has unnecessary steps, I don’t want to do it. That is why I have been working hard on the back-end of my small business to make the process as streamlined as possible.
Motherhood & Photography
Motherhood has taught me to appreciate the little things in life. The way my child's hand fits perfectly in mine, the sound of his laughter or her sweet, little giggle, the way she looks at me with her big, innocent eyes, the way his entire face smiles when he spends time with me. These are moments that I cherish and try to capture in my photography.
Boundaries
Are you like me? Do you sometimes treat your boundaries like they are negotiable? I struggle with adhering to my own boundaries tremendously. I used to think that saying yes to everyone would endear me to them or would show how willing I was to be a team player, so I spent many years only saying yes. That propensity for always answering in the affirmative would later come to bite me as I found every boundary I’d ever try to establish being trampled and abused, to no end, by everyone around me.
Adventures in the Hoh Rainforest with Lou and Lu
My daughter’s best friend identifies as non-binary. Yes, at 10-years old, they know exactly who they are and what they want to be without society delineating what that should look like. So even though Louis is genetically male, inside they feel like conformity isn’t something that they prescribe to. Their shadow is RAINBOW! And because Lou is so true to themself, they bring out the very best in my child.
