Before Heading Home

Feb

27

I’m gearing up to head home after a way-too-fast week in Vegas. I feel like I could benefit from another week…and maybe next time, I’ll plan for that.

As a quick recap, I am in Vegas for the Wedding and Portrait Photographer’s International Competition and Conference. My main purpose in coming this year (My first time!) was to learn the best ways to enter the competition next year. What entries were dismissed, which ones made the judges give a standing ovation (only saw that once). What won Gold, what won Platinum. Why?

I’ll do a recap of what to expect and how to prepare for this event for my photographer readers later this or early next week, but for now, I just needed to write.

I hope you all know this is my favorite place to write. Unlimited by characters. I’ve always felt safe, here on the blog. Perhaps too safe at times.

I’ve shared the most personal peeks into my soul on this website. Here, I am not just a photographer, but a writer.

This website, is my digital HOME. I’ve built it like a house. Secret rooms and passage ways. Surprises for my favorites. Every major life lesson I know, written between the lines or displayed in photographs.

I’ve had a shift, my company(ies) have had a shift, and the website is about to have one, too.

I’m so excited to share the new direction as I’ve had quiet the breakthrough this week.

“What I am inspired by as a human, is not necessarily what I am inspired by as an artist.”

New website coming soon…

THE LATEST

Hi! How are you? Thinking of lots of my clients lately and hoping you’re doing well no matter where life has taken you! I’ve been laying low. Loving on my kiddos, friends, sisters, and partners. They’re all taking great care of me, too! Working my booty offf. Trying to eat healthy and navigate adulting more […]

The in between

Life has been very romantic lately. Unknown and confusing and both flighty and grounded all at once. I remember being 14 and seeing my entire life by your side. Life is wild. I remember a water bottle and abandoned bleachers. I remember axe body spray and the way I had never been kissed. I know […]

Nirvana & I think of you

I hope you know better than to think I’d want to be anywhere but here right now. It was true on NYE and it’s true right now in my car outside the café. This may have felt seamless. Too seamless. Happenstance. But I’m here on purpose, now. I see your soft heart and I see […]

I hope you know better

You’ll walk through a glittering white veil, uncharacteristically soft compared to what you’ll find behind it. It has no need to keep you out. You quickly realize it’s the aura within that turns most around. The texture disorients. I’ll already be inside. What do you see? Upon first impression, you’re in a desert. Interesting considering […]

What Do You See?
