You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.
-Brené Brown
A little bit about where I am, and what I am up to.
At 25 I had an ideal job in my field of choice and I quit. I needed to experience more. Explore myself and the world, figure out what I was actually pursuing and how I wanted to get there. I didn't know exactly what I was looking for or if I would know when I found it. I decided to start with closing up shop on everything that was current in my life and planning a 9-month trip abroad. Then Covid-19 hit and just 2-weeks before I was scheduled to fly to South Africa, my trip was off. I needed a new plan, and this is part of it.
I converted a van into a tiny home on wheels and spent 6 months on a solo road trip across the US. Many days were spent hiking and getting to know myself as I challenged my comfort zone and navigated bumps in the road. Even more hours were spent behind the wheel with an audio book on and the countryside changing before my eyes. More than ever this year I got still to soak up amazing views with my camera in hand and came away a more skilled photographer.
From this experience, and the years of creating and connecting that have brought me here, I am now offering my skills and services in a variety of mediums.
I am creating this space with the intention to:
-
Share my work as a portrait photographer, designer and crafty chick to connect with people that feel drawn to what I create.
-
Make my travel, landscape and wildlife photography available as prints to bring the wonder of the natural world into our homes.
-
Document my reflections and experiences living full time on the road with the hope that it sparks more conversation and action around living authentically.
