Let's dive into my story,
Picture this: my roots are firmly planted in the charming backdrop of Star Valley, Wyoming. Now, growing up, I had my fair share of body image hang-ups and confidence struggles. I'll admit, I sometimes overcompensated to mask my insecurities. Plus, I was navigating the tricky terrain of trauma without even realizing it, and let's not even talk about my knack for stumbling into some truly unwholesome relationships. Looking in the mirror? Oh boy, that was a challenge.
But guess what? I decided to embark on a quest of self-discovery. I joined the Teton County Sheriff’s Victim Witness Advocate Program as a volunteer, lending a helping hand where it mattered most. And speaking of hands-on experiences, I became a guide in the enchanting realms of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park. Nature has this way of healing, you know? Along the way, I soaked up knowledge about emotional growth in the face of trauma and building up the self-esteem of fellow young adults.
Now, here's the exciting part. I had an epiphany. I wanted to do more—to be a friendly ear and a guiding light for all those braving the same storms of life. So, I took the plunge and got certified in Life Coaching and even scored a Level II Confidence Coaching CGRCC badge. You've got to understand, I'm all about spreading positivity like confetti! 🎉
And then, boudoir photography strutted into my world. Oh boy, did I fall head over heels for it! Capturing that unapologetic confidence, those radiant vibes—what's not to adore? After a couple of years basking in the world of boudoir, I decided to expand my horizons to lifestyle photography. Turns out, I'm just as smitten with freezing those everyday, genuine moments in time.
Remember my stint as a guide? Well, it ignited a wildfire of passion for the untamed beauty of Yellowstone and Grand Teton. That led me to the realization that I want to seize life's special moments and cast them in the most fabulous light possible. Anyone can say "cheese" to a camera, but my knack lies in capturing those unfiltered, in-between instances that brim with real emotions. Every snap I take aims to stir something inside you and hold your gaze.
