G r a c e, give yourself some

This is a season of growth and expansion for me, I am now open to exploring/creating in multiple ways. For years I fought doing anything outside of photography because that was my comfort zone. I thrive taking those snap shots and anything else was unspoken. Instagram introducing reels and my daughter teaching me Tik-Tok really lit a fire under me. Creating my short film Black Women Being was the real spark and now I am offering the service for everyone to experience my magic. My attention to story telling has my hand in visual management as well. My clients are people that trust me enough to control how their brand stories are told.

These female founders are incredible women but just need someone from the outside to make it real. All these new services are scary but I am so excited to experience and meet black women that are blazing their own trails. My clients are women that are making their own rules and fighting against most social norms. I appreciate each and every inquiry, comment, like and share I receive on a daily basis.

Years ago I dreamed of the moments where things would align and my magic would shine through. As an artist I had dreams of loving my work and the people I surrounded myself with. I finally reached that point and I am beyond grateful to just take up this space.

I talk about taking up space a lot because for years I felt like the girl that was fighting just to love what she was doing. A lot of people are moving in the world but not truly happy with what they’re doing. This act is a blessing and something that should never be taken lightly. I appreciate all my days of struggle and those times I had to simply tell myself just keep shooting! I would over analyze and compare myself to every photographer not taking into account that they had been shooting years before I even picked up my camera. Social media can be a dark place when you’re building and easily distracted.

The one thing I have learned over the years is the art of giving myself grace because I have been beyond hard on myself. These days I have been making the effort to speak to myself nicely and actually giving my beautiful thoughts life.

I hope yall are having amazing days —

I see you and appreciate you.
