My last living grandmother, Grandma Linda, died today and I saw so many beautiful butterflies at the wedding I helped photograph today.
•
The first two photos are of my Grandma Ida who passed away a few years ago, and my Grandma Linda. I think these are some of the only photos I ever photographed of both of them. As always, wishing I had spent more time with them and more time taking photos 💖 the very last photos are butterflies I photographed another day, years ago but let's pretend I was able to photograph the dozens I saw today 🖤
•
Hold the ones you love close. As much of an illusion time spent alone can be, it's not when you spend it with someone you love.
•
If you don't make time for your relatives, all you'll be left holding is guilt & regret when they're gone.
•
All my love and prayers to my family who are grieving the loss of our grandma.

I'm moving a lot more slowly with my photography business this year. I have ideas percolating but also coming to terms with setting realistic expectations with the amount of time I can devote to art.

It hurts my heart a little to recognize I need to slow down, especially while still working a demanding full-time job. I do enjoy my full-time job, it's an ever changing challenge, and it allows me to grow my technical skills. However, I adore and love creating art. Art feeds my soul and helps me still feel whole and real. I'm not sure the point of this caption, aside from wishing I had more time (always).

"In a way, you are poetry material; You are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out. Words burst in your essence and you carry their dust in the pores of your ethereal individuality."

"In every lifetime it will always be you."

Lyvia & Killian were married yesterday 💖 I'm currently culling through their wedding gallery and feeling so appreciative to have been able to photograph these sweethearts 🖤

In January, I had the honor of attending the Beyond the Portrait workshop, hosted by the incredibly talented ♥ I am so grateful for the experience and for the chance to learn from Jonny. His knowledge is deep and generous, and I still return to the notes I took that day.
•
The workshop also offered space to connect with a number of phenomenal artists. A few of the gifted souls I met include .negative, .thephotographer, and .
•
Editing these images has felt intimidating (and still does), in part because they are stylistically different from the work I have done before. Still, I wanted to share five photographs created in collaboration with the brilliant souls who brought this workshop to life: Jonny, the models, the makeup artist Oksana, and my fellow photographers. I hope I have done them justice, and I am excited to continue exploring and playing within this style ♥
