Your Story is Worth Telling.
📸 ✍️ ✨ • A little branding update— I’m slowly but surely making my way back up to speed here! While on maternity leave I redesigned my branding kit to better reflect me + my purpose as a photographer.
“A picture is worth a thousand words,” and when it’s all said and done, the photos and artifacts we leave behind are what will give our future generations a glimpse of who we are and the commonalities that tie us together.
In that case, it’s worth taking the time to document yourself and the milestones that have meaning. It’s important to take time to appreciate yourself, your family and friends, your accomplishments, your any and every experience that make your life the invaluable story it is. And that story, your story, is worth telling.
Your story is worth telling.
Each of us is a thread in this infinite tapestry of existence, and each is important. Some are course fibers, some are fine silk, some weave together like birds of a feather while others fill in wherever the next opening takes it. Some are neutral, some are vibrant, some are shiny, but without any one of them would be a gaping hole.
I truly believe it is so important to document your life and see the beauty in it, and not just to share it on Facebook or Instagram but to print these photos for posterity’s sake, to have tangible pieces that our grandchildren and great-grand children can hold and say “you have great-grandma Edwina’s eyes,” or “Look, here’s the photo of my grandparents on this porch a hundred years ago,” (I might have heard those myself).
All of this to say, there’s no time like the present to document your life and who you are. One day, you might be the story that inspires someone to find a new lease on life or value in their insecurities or find the courage to venture outside their comfort zone to explore and learn and spread the gospel of love and light to someone else.
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in the beginning.”
I’ll leave you with this for now: No, most things may not be exactly like a big blockbuster cinematic experience, but that’s why I photograph the way I do— so that when you click the gallery link from your session or open up your freshly printed album, you feel just as inspiring and captivating as if you walked out of one.
