A New Website and A New Project

This website has been a vision of mine for a while. I’m not really sure why the thought of an actual site was so intimidating to me, but I kept putting it off. Maybe it has something to do with imposter syndrome. We are our own worst critics after all, right?! I’m definitely not immune to that. We have some absolutely amazing and talented photographers in our area, a few of which I am privileged enough to call friend, and the thought of putting my work out there too was maybe just a little overwhelming!

But, here goes nothing!

I am currently 37 weeks pregnant with my fourth tiny (or not so tiny) and it never fails that the creative juices start to flow right around this time and into postpartum for me. I don’t know what it is about birth and new life that gets my creativity flowing, but it always does. With Harper I wrote a novel, with Declan I started a blog, and with Mabel I never put down my camera for a single second. Funny how my fourth baby is kind of tying it all together, writing and photography, putting a nice little bow on it all.

I started a 365 project this last week and decided that maybe I would blog weekly and highlight my favorites! I thought it could be a fun little project and would keep me motivated to continue picking up my camera.

I hardly picked it up all winter long and whenever I go through spells of not taking pictures I feel myself start to sink back into my rut. I stop looking for the beauty. I stop paying attention to the tiny details of my regular, everyday life. The breathtaking beauty that lives in every single day. Taking pictures makes me a better human. I love it so much!
