I came here to practice seeing things, not just photographing them.
I've been starting most mornings the same way — coffee, walk to the fence, whatever's grazing that day. Some mornings it's cows. Some mornings it's horses. Most mornings I don't take a single photo.
I used to think that meant I was wasting the light. Now I think it's the opposite.
There's a version of looking that's really just scanning — waiting for something worth capturing. And there's another version that's slower, where you're not looking for anything, you're just letting a field be a field, an animal be an animal, until it stops being generic and starts being specific. The particular way this horse leans into wind. The exact green of moss that's been left alone for longer than I've been alive.
I think that second kind of looking is the actual skill. The camera just proves I did it.
I've been journaling most mornings too — not for content, just so the noticing has somewhere to go that isn't immediately a photograph. Some of it will probably turn into images eventually. Most of it won't. I'm trying to be okay with that.
If you've ever felt like you were moving through something beautiful too fast to actually take it in — that's the thing I'm trying to get better at. Not the photographing. The seeing.

Throw back to when I was learning after effects and being creepy.

Peeling back layers to the beginning. The cycle of healing. There is a constant pressure to perform, to say everything is alright because you don't have it as bad as some other people. Stop settling for less than what is so clearly calling out to you.

You do not have to wait until you are fully "healed" or perfectly polished to be immortalized as art. You are art.

There is a massive difference between snapping a quick photo and crafting a true portrait. 🥀
Most people dread being in front of a camera because standard photography forces you into stiff poses and fake smiles. It captures what you look like, but completely misses who you are.

You deserve to have your inner strength, depth, and authentic beauty immortalized. You don't need to know how to pose or perform for the lens. My fine art portrait sessions are designed to gently guide you through the entire experience, resulting in cinematic art that proves just how powerful your presence actually is.
