Laura in the Woods

I truly believe the more we nurture to the land, the more it will nurture us. We are in a symbiotic relationship with nature. Though we may not hear it speaking in a language that all of us can understand, it is always speaking. I visit the same locations again and again for my photo sessions. I believe each session is an offering. In return we are gifted beautiful art. Yes, I know I am the one holding the camera, and whoever I am photographing is also a participant. But any artist will tell you, there is something else alive when you are in the flow of creation. Something that only comes from surrender and trust. When you enter flow the muse gets to come play with you. In my practice sometimes the muse comes via the land. I trust the land. I trust the sun. I trust myself. I trust that whatever is meant to happen during a session will happen.

This session with Laura was food for our souls. The world can seem very dark right now, but as a parent hope is a light that can never go out. Life is always longing to live. Connecting with each other in intimate spaces, open and vulnerable is what keeps the hope in my heart alive. Sending so much love to this sweet Laura as she will soon be welcoming her sweet babe into the world. <3
