MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE. a photo series.
Part 01 — Nilane
It started with a quiet afternoon, a latte, and a new barista at one of my favourite places… Paper Route Cafe
As I sipped my latte, I sat there wondering who I knew that could fit the vision I had for this beautiful garden space at Cafe23 and the shoot I could already see in my mind.
As I was leaving, the Holy Spirit nudged me: ask her.
I hesitated for a second, but I turned around and asked anyway.
Neither of us quite knew what would come of it, but we went anyway.
The space wasn’t quiet that day. It pushed us both outside of our comfort zones … to let ourselves be seen and, in a world that so often tells us to be small, to take up space.
And that we did.
Somewhere along the way, one location became two, and we found ourselves at another one of my favourite cafés in the area, Botànic Coffee & Caphe
What an honour it was to create with such a wonderful human being. 🌹✨
Sometimes, beautiful things begin with simply being willing to listen.
And just look at what we did. 🤎
