A question I’ve been getting asked A LOT lately is if I still do photography. The answer, YES. I am still documenting my favorite souls in this world alongside my courage coaching business. You definitely do not see as much in this space as I am so insanely passionate about sharing all the goodness behind that which makes up my coaching business. You see, truth is, photography is embedded in my soul. For as long as I can remember, 13 years professionally, for my whole life as a hobby — photography has been my vessel, my way of being in exchange and communicating that which I am inspired by within this world. Truth is, it was far easier to hind behind other people and my photography than it was to put myself out there and follow my calling. So here we are, in this incredible harmony where I have grown, my business has grown, my way of being in community, in exchange, in connection with you and the universe, has grown. I am at the latter part, although I am INSANELY HONORED to document the most inspirational souls, I am courageously putting myself out there, in ways I never had the confidence, courage, trust to do so. Courage coaching and photography coexist. Behind it all, my immense dedication to seeing a person, people through the most pure, positive, real kinda way. Where this very reality creates this space, this connection, this exchange for us to truly see, hear and honor each of us. As we are. Where we are. Who we are. This reality, damn is it so beautifully supportive. So dynamically, sincere. Behind my ways of being in exchange, lies the same foundation — that of my values and the why behind what I do. My values — honesty, presence, sincerity, quality time, acknowledging, honoring, holding dear, expressing gratitude and love, compassion, being kind. My why — I have been blessed to live a life far beyond my dreams and I am committed, every single day to supporting others in realizing their dreams. Here are portraits from a few weeks back when two of my favorite souls got to intertwine their lives and love as they intimately said I-do in front of a handful of their most favorite people. Truly, one of the most special days!

Ya’ll I most definitely told you I’ve been photographing my favorite people along the way
and you better believe I’ve been doing so with absolute joy, love and inspiration! A few weeks ago we were insanely blessed to have our family come from New Zealand. My husband's sister and her fiancé! This time, was truly so intentional, so loving, so sincerely supportive, so needed for all of us. To be with family, to be reminded of connection, to get to be witness to Orion spending time with her auntie, to finally be together, in this grown, expanded way. Oh my heart! While here, it was so important to celebrate their engagement (of which happened a few months prior while on a magical hike in New Zealand). We did this through a yummy sunset session at one of the highest peaks in Running Springs. You can witness, by these very time capsules how fiery their love and connection is and how complimentary the setting sun was. The dynamics, damn did they give me us all the feels, bringing these very moments to life! Curious what makes magical shoots like this come to life? - Picking a location that is inspirational and reflective of the souls connection. - Selecting outfits that are complimentary to their styles, bodies and the environment. - Being okay with "off roading" - the best paths are those that aren't paved. - Knowing where the light is coming from and where the sun is setting. - Getting an idea of what they're comfortable with (Ie : Do they have favorite sides? Are there things they're not okay with? Or that they always do?) - Having fun, truly encouraging the subjects to have fun with one another. - Being present and really paying attention to the subtle reflections that make them, them. Congrats Savannah and Justin! I am beyond excited for you! Oh hey girl! Are you finding yourself in a space, a place where you feel stagnant, even stuck? You know that you’re meant to be more, to do more, to live a life that feels far better than it looks? Yet, you don’t feel like you have the tools or the roadmap to get there? Oh girl, I got you! Here are 5 ways to move from dreaming to doing: 1️⃣Create space to go inward. 2️⃣With your awareness of going inward, what came up? Go into the inquiry and begin to research. 3️⃣What is your why behind this dream? 4️⃣Visualize : Embody where you’re going, who you’re becoming, this grown, expanded version of yourself. 5️⃣Trust in yourself and have the courage to act on that awareness and put the research into action Check out the videos below for deeper insight! |
