CLEMENTINE Rosebud LIFESTYLE Session in Lake Arrowhead, california

​Photography gave me the voice when I did not know how to listen to, connect with or share my own. It was the vessel that enabled to take in the fleeting moments that made up our existence and convey the profound message and truth of that which was present. A gift - truly was a gift to be able to communicate in a way where words, wither written or spoken were not needed.

Then, there became a moment where my vessel for communication expanded. Not only did I have the insane connection to + gift of getting to share my photography with the world, I quickly found the written expression that came with the very photos and even more quickly, the courage to actually speak my truth, passion, purpose, way of thinking + ultimately living.

It took my quite some time (I’m talking years) to see where the two co-exist. For each expression to have its home and to stay within the boundaries of its their homes.

Truth is, without photography, I would not know written and spoken word. Without the full expression - I would not know the depths of photography that I know today.

Each one, not separate, yet the same.
Each one, creating insanely unique opportunities to share truth, in this very moment.
Each one, sharing stories - many times others, more recently my own.

Being witness to others expression of truth and love. It in turn, holding space for me to connect with mine. That then in turn inspires me to hold space for others to do the same through my coaching.

Photography + coaching.
Coaching + photography.
We are together.
United.
Intertwined.
​
A blessing I never knew would be, yet so deeply is that all I can do is bow in gratitude.
Thank you DEEPLY to my inspiring community!
