mountain song

Growth. This word has been in my head for days now, slumbering. This word, like wildfire spreads over my skin. Life is all about growth. Humans are constantly growing and changing. As of now, I'm in a constant period of growth, in my own life, as well as my art. I've gotten into an obsessive habit, where I check inspiring artists' work several times a day, and I'm so grateful to you all. You are all so amazing, you inspire me everyday, make me want to grow and better myself. Thank you.

There are big changes coming in the future, and it's a little bit difficult choosing which path I'll take. I've had a song line stuck in my head, "You could be doin' anything you dream of..." and I fully believe this. We have so much more power than we think we do. We have limitless amounts of motivation trapped in our veins, I'm slowly trying to unleash more of mine. I'm trying to prepare for that time, as well as juggling the ideas and words inside of my head. I wish I could tell you all about the thoughts that dance through my mind, the words that make me stop what I'm doing (even at work) and run for a pen and paper. But, to be honest, I'm not at that level of comfort yet.

Stories and memories by the fire.

These photos are from my mini vacation in the mountains several days ago. Even though it was only about 30 hours, it slowed the beating of my heart, and calmed my hurried head. I wish I could come up here more often, I need more of this peace, this cold to wind me down, because these days I've wound myself up from all the stress. This might be the last time I visit this place for a long time, so I tried to open up my heart, and soak everything in as much as I could. The day before Easter, I spent about five hours shooting by myself. Dancing around the trees, and in front of my camera. Wandering around, not noticing when branches cut my skin. It was worth it, I need more days like this.






Just trying new things.



Don't know what persuaded me to add the bow...







A friend recently said that even if you make mistakes, you should share them anyways, that's what I'm doing now. There's so much to learn! I'm still on the path, just not there yet, and I don't think there's an end. Let's keep walking together ♡

  1. These are wonderful! The ones of you in side profile with branches and the sun flare in the bottom left are my favorite of the set. I have a sweet spot for the mountains, as well. Sounds like you had a good time.
