I have been working on a new project with two incr I have been working on a new project with two incredible women. We are calling this project LUME—it is a restorative retreat in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The retreat will be centered around bringing you back to yourself. To get there; we will dive in deep and take in the practices of writing, meditation, yoga, ceremony, an intimate portrait session, community, nourishing meals, and listening to ourselves. At the retreat I will be guiding you through a private and intimate portrait session and tea ceremony. Through our time together, I will get to know you and get to know what makes you feel powerful as a woman. The photos captured will be real and raw. The portrait session is intended to honor yourself in this space and time. There will also be other offerings such as an artistic and immersive guided journaling session led by @jessytai. During this practice we will dive into our Rhythms and Rituals and how they bring us back home to ourselves. We will be discovering our truths-honoring the ones that help us become more of who we are and who we want to be and letting go of what no longer serves us. Our cacao ceremony will be led by @molly_lucinda and give us the opportunity to open our hearts and really sink in to ourselves and who we are and what we need. Molly will also be leading us in a restorative yoga practice to find our true rest and inner peace. Over the weekend you will be forming a supportive and nurturing micro-community of women and will have the opportunity to connect, commune, and be held with and by other women. The three of us are so excited to come together and share ourselves and our gifts with you. We want to host you, support you, and make you feel loved in our spaces. If this sounds like something you need right now in your life, please click the link in my bio for more information. *Early bird pricing is offered until May 31* RETREAT DATE: JANUARY 19-21, 2024

I have been thinking a lot lately about the things I have been thinking a lot lately about the things I do that bring me back to myself. One thing that inspired me recently was bringing everyone I love to mind—each of them individually. I was able to sit with each of them and then I tried to remember what each of their laughs were like. Not their regular nervous laughs, but their real belly laughs. I sat with each person in my head and thought of them really laughing—laughing hard. My mom has this big vocal breath of air she lets out. It’s as if all the worry she holds in her chest is released just for a moment. It sounds the same every time. That is when I know she’s really laughing. My dad’s laugh happens usually while telling a story. He will belly laugh at what he’s *going* to say before he even says it. He never can quite get his words out because he’s laughing so hard. It took me some time to sit with my brother and try and place his laugh and remember what it is like but I did, and I was able to picture him belly laughing at my dads stories. But he’s never laughing at the actual story just the way my dad presents them. Brandon will cross his left foot over his right knee and bounce his leg a lot. When he’s really laughing he uncrosses his feet and relaxes back into his chair and lets himself be. I didn’t just think of my family—I thought of my friends too. I could pick out the sound of Lauren’s laugh if I was in a room of 100 people laughing. Her laugh hasn’t changed. It’s the same laugh she had when we were seven. She starts with a little giggle and then she can hardly get any words out and her body just rocks back and forth in a slow motion. Laughing with another person is such a vulnerable exchange between people. It’s a moment of connection and it feels like time actually stops and you are only existing with that one person. Your shoulders are relaxed and you feel like a child again. I went through my whole list of the people I love and thought of something as simple as the way they laugh. That day, that is the simple thing that brought me back to myself. . . . . . . . #ashevillenorthcarolinaphotographer #ashevillephotographer #ashevilleengagementphotos #ashevilleengagementphotography
