October - Dysautonomia Awareness Month
Photo credit: Amanda Frank Photography
My dysfunctional Autonomic Nervous System...the chronic illnesses it's been associated with &/or diagnosed... My chronic journey & struggle with health has come with its costs & sorrows, put mildly, but though I openly address and "deal with it," in my own ways, showing the better portions of my life (so imagine how much worse it would look or sound between updates & posts), as well as the true, raw realities of the struggle when I can, I choose to take it with a grain of salt (a POTS - Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome - patient's favorite pun) and I choose to live with it &, while spreading awareness & fighting for improvement in the care we should receive & acknowledgement of its existence, I hope to live with it, enduring well, & living to the fullest, however I can.
Throughout this journey, I have been placed in a position where I am learning to "bear one another's burdens" in a much deeper & eye-opening way, thanks to the blessing of having a support network from local community & all around the globe, available to reach out at any time. I am so grateful to my many fellow chronic pals within the Dysautonomia + co-morbid conditions community, as well as so many others living with any chronic, acute, mild, moderate, severe, deadly, concerning, &/or unknown form(s) of health problem(s)/condition(s), for the lessons which make understanding and enduring possible as we do so together.
I also owe a deep gratitude to everyone who has crossed paths, whether battling health or not, for that care, willingness to help out in any way, love, charity, sacrifice, support, & so much more.
While October is , it's a constant struggle for anyone with some form of , as well as of such. In honor of the efforts to 💙, & because I have not been able to continue pursuing my love for with photoshoots since my health took over there, too, I broke out my camera and shot a few of my own.
Thank you for going this journey alongside us!

Here's to go to show why going to a photographer is so worth it! We have educated ourselves & continue to educate ourselves so that we can produce the best possible photos we can for our clients!

A few weeks ago I was shooting a client when I showed her an image off the back of my camera. Which I will say I NEVER do. Not because I like to keep things secret, I have just learned over the y...

It's not all the time that I have a photo shoot one day after another! I really enjoyed taking these pictures for this wonderful couple who was able to get sealed in the Oquirrh Mountain temple today. Congratulations to the Clements'!!

Had the great opportunity tonight to photograph two amazing talents, The Magic of Craig Campbell and Mentalist Eric R Wanner! Both were fantastic! Here is a sneak peak of tonight.
More to come soon!

Hey, guys! It's been awhile since I've posted! Just thought I'd share some photos from a few of my shoots that made it to my "favorites" list. Some are goofy and some, not so much, but each has a memory and a meaning behind it.
I love photography so much! At first, I saw all the girls in my ward my age, it seemed, saying they were suddenly going to be photographers because that's what's "in" now. I wanted nothing to do with it. Then one day, as I was complaining about being in pictures because the only way for me to not feel so ridiculous was to pull a ridiculous face, someone said, "If you don't like being in front of the camera, why don't you try being behind it?" Once I did, I immediately loved it. My first "shoot," if you call it that, was the one with the four kids and it was taken from my old flip phone and edited with a free photo editing website, piknik.com. Then when I got enough money from babysitting those cuties and others, as well as money from my other job, I upgraded and was able to take on more and more shoots and learn more about one of my new favorite hobbies/jobs!! I love what I do here and I love working with you guys!
I apologize, I am down for doing any photoshoots for a couple of months, at least, because I broke both of my feet and am now in a wheelchair and only partly able to put pressure on one foot for crutches. Thank you all and I hope to be up and going again soon!!

Hahaha! I don't even know if I really need to edit this one! It does all the greatness itself!! Definitely one of my favorites! One started to pout, so the rest sat down next to them and pouted along with them!
