NIKON D800 + SIGMA 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art
ƒ/ ISO
This shot was not the shot I planned to take, I wanted a shot with textures, with mood, with emotion... I planned to crop everything below my rib cage, but when I was editing it, I couldn’t bring myself to crop it out. It feels vulnerable, it feels raw, and to me it feels hopeful. Recognizing that if I saw another woman that looked like this, I would feel nothing but support, love and encouragement, so why do I deserve anything less?

I am I longboarding, book loving, word obsessed, detail chaser. I am fueled by coffee, red bull and good hearty belly laughs. On any given day, I look like I was thrown from my closet, in whatever fits. My hair and makeup are an unprepared disaster, forged by that day's urgency. We are often barefoot and dirt covered and the neighbors know me best for misplacing one child as I frantically chase down the other four. I learned to shoot film when I was eighteen and I fell in love with my first SLR, I love to shoot the details and I live for moody and dramatic light. As I continue to learn, my children find new ways to avoid posing, pushing me to learn, and to love self portraiture. Though life with little ones is exhausting and overwhelming, I wouldn�t trade it if I could. I love these moments, they are hard, they are heartbreaking, they are story-worthy, they are my everything.
