Photography for me runs so much deeper than making memories

Over the years as photography has evolved and changed...

As we've all been gifted these amazing cameras on our phones...

As my life has take twists and turns...

As my kiddo has grown from baby to pre-teen...

I've realized that when I pick up a camera something inside me shifts, and I feel good

Even if my photos are terrible, I feel good inside

There is an intentional shift of perspective that happens when I look through a camera lens.

And I begin to see the world around me differently

I get out of my head

And into my heart

I capture a slice of our life

in all it's messy beauty

Listen to this mini episode to hear:

  • How you can use a camera to make an immediate shift in your mood
  • A photo project you can do in under 2 minutes

Somewhere during pandemic life that days started to all string together and feel the same. So I just stopped capturing everything.

When I open up my feed I see random meme screenshots, a few silly videos my kid recorded for her you tube channel, and items I photographed to sell on our local community boards.

Sprinkled here and there are a photo of my dogs, or dinners, or unexpected family outing. But those are few and far between.

I do miss the feeling of picking up my camera, but for some reason I struggle with looking for the perfect reason or occasion or moment to begin capturing life consistently again.

When I get stuck like this...

Instead of listening to the voice in my head that's on a loop telling me to "just pick up the stupid camera and capture something..."

I get curious.

Listen to this mini episode to hear:

  • The surprising way I'm finding a path back to myself. 
  • The step-by-step path you can take to instantly spark  your creativity. 
  • A simple task for you to connect with me and lean into curiosity more this week.

It's been a hot minute since the Capture What Matters podcast has been in your feed.

In full transparency, pandemic life turned everything in my world a bit upside down.

I've been focused on unschooling my daughter and giving any of my leftover capacity to our Momtography club community.

Rewinding a bit ....waaaaaaay back in 2020 I had big dreams for Momtography Club.

But with the decision to focus on schooling my kiddo through the pandemic - those dreams got buried in the necessity of keeping our mental and emotional health afloat.

Lately I've finally felt the fog of the past year ever so sloooooowly lift so I can reconnect with my dreams.

What I've discovered through this exploration is a deep desire to help other moms like you reconnect with your dreams too.

As I've started getting out in the world again, awkwardly having conversations with clients and mom friends, reluctantly forcing words onto pages of a blank journal...

I've realized I am soooooo not alone in getting back to my dreams.

For us moms., this has been a year of survival mode.

We are out of practice.

With everything.

So instead of getting back on a bike and going full speed ahead with our calendars, our conversations, and our creativity...how about we get back on a tricycle.

Listen to this mini episode to hear:

  • What I'm creating to help YOU get back to creative expression and dreaming again.
  • How creativity can help you feel more connected as you get back to "normal" 
  • Where I'd love for you to create and connect with me in the coming weeks.
