This portrait came to fruition by surrendering to my authentic truth… I was desperately clinging to an idea of people pleasing perfection when I was thinking of what to create for my first Patreon image. After a much needed conversation with a friend, I allowed myself to set that aside and create from within.

This shoot brought me right back to my early days of photography, when I went in with wild abandon and allowed myself to create from pure muse as it arose in me. There was no second guessing, just going with the flow. I love this process b/c the end results are always a bit of a surprise, and when I allow myself to create from this space, I always end up with my most cherished images.

This may feel scary for some, but I invite you to dig into yourself and allow yourself to express from your deepest depths, no matter what the voices on the outside say.
