Sometimes We Just Need Breathing Room to Create

I’ve been putting together a vision board for when I’m able to do another creative, personal expression through my art.

While my heart is photographing women and telling their stories, sometimes my soul needs to stretch and play so that I can reset and renew. This makes me better for the clients that I photograph.

Many creatives have gone into depression during this time because we haven’t been able to create like we usually do.

It’s our release. It’s our way out of darkness. It’s a way of telling other’s stories while telling our own.

Being a photographer is engrained in my being. To be able to document someone’s story that then becomes art in their home, it’s at times indescribable.

I am still photographing clients, but I’ve slowed down this year. Not only has Covid hit, but taking on a limited number of clients per year is how I’ve structured my business over the past couple of years. It allows me to focus on each client, take my time, and produce art that is uniquely their legacy.

No two sessions are ever the same and I want to take my time with that.

While I’m not quite at the place where I feel comfortable creating something personal, I am enjoying the process of envisioning it. It’s giving me something to look forward to.

As I’m waiting, I looked back at this one that Caroline and I put together a couple of years ago.

We borrowed some of the clothing from Wonsaponatime Vintage and Amanda Blass did Hannah’s gorgeous hair.
