Within the last year, I took up photography as a hobby to heal. I found the more I embraced life’s tumultuous events and opened myself up in gratitude to the world around me, the more the world revealed much for which to be grateful. I began noticing beauty in the simplest things, and even envisioned in my mind’s eye the potential for beauty to exist in the ordinary… so I snapped the picture and then created what I envisioned in my mind. I am not a professional or seasoned artist by any means, but in a season of growth, I am finding myself creating what feels like art. I am pleased to present photographs of images from around Virginia, Maryland, and Tennessee, all captured using an iPhone camera.
