I was recently commiserating with a mom during soccer practice. She mentioned that she is stressed and I absentmindly agreed with her…and as soon as I said it, I backtracked and corrected myself. What am I saying???I am not stressed at all..I am just “in it”. My mind is elsewhere, my heart is sad. I was hoping to be planning for our expanding brood and now I am questioning our next moves as we continue to fight our way through the world of IVF. So as I continue to chat with this mom , jumping in and out of the conversation as I attempt to capture Em… being Em , I feel the need to explain this burning desire I have to photograph life. …I shoot even when that is the last thing I feel like doing… because in the sadness I have for the unknown… it is in a simple photo… a photo where I have captured happiness, that a breath of life is fed back into my soul. In that brief moment, I am energized for a brighter tomorrow. Photography is my therapy. I went to therapy ALOT this week.
Summer Murdock - Hugs Liz. Although its probably more expensive than traditional therapy (if you added all the cost of equipment computers etc) it seems to be working for you. These are stunning really really I can literally feel the warmth of that sun just looking at these. Makes me long for warm weather even more than I already do. Love (and warm winters are a definite positive about the big D)
Renee Marie Photography - I’m blown away by the simplicity of these captures….love them all!
Denecia - I admire your work so much. So beautiful! Your little one is darling. Photography is my therapy, as well, so I can relate to this post completely. We had a successful IVF treatment 3 years ago & I was so fearful. However, looking back, it was an amazing process & worth all of the hard work. I now have healthy twin girls because of it. I wish you lots of luck & will be thinking positive thoughts for you! 🙂
