my story.

I am a woman. I am a woman of happiness. I am a mother. A business woman + photographer. I strive for greatness. I love. I believe. I work hard. I put trust in people I care about. I am entirely not sure what I am doing but thats the beauty of this. 

When I describe myself to a person, I say I am a mother, a photographer + most definitely a lover. A fierce, whole hearted lover (a quality in me that you will see unravel in the work I do, the people I love + my life in general) with a drive that is fueled by a three year old + a man who literally came out of nowhere and swept me up from under my feet. Fueled by moments that you cannot put into words + feelings that are indescribable. Capturing what surrounds me and the beauty that is in this life and all it has to offer is my goal on this earth. So I begin the newest journey + I want to take you all along with me.   

Peace of mind, well-being, balance + experiences accompanied by people that I care about + love are what makes me who I am and what helps me strive to be who I am going to be. In a world where everything is constantly growing + changing + multiplying, I recently found a outpouring love for writing + sharing what is, "my story" if you will. 

It is the most excited I have been in a very long time to begin something. I cannot wait to share my life, photographs, family, love, travel experiences, health + everything that happens in my life with you all. 

Sharing my work from my photography business is going to be a constant. Wedding couples will be featured more often than not and I will be sharing my clients + their stories that make my heart full and hopefully make yours full too.

My Blog/ My meaning.

The name is "Sophrosyne"

definition: 
"a healthy state of mind, characterized by self control, moderation and a deep awareness of ones true self + resulting in absolute happiness" 

This quote is one I have read over and over again + it honestly changed my life. Along with mindfulness and being truly present where I am, I have evolved into a level headed individual that sees the value in every day and that fuels me to be my absolute best version of myself. Which we all want to be, right?

I am a firm believer that our thoughts shape what happens in our lives. Positivity attracts positivity. We all belong somewhere + some of us belong everywhere! I want to be one of those; wait a second, I will be one of those people that go everywhere, experience as much as I can during my short time here on earth + leave an imprint on peoples lives in anyway that I can. 

My goal is to inspire you, to help you inspire others. I want to bring joy + happiness + love to your life through words and photos. You mean more to me than you will ever know, as you are the reason I do everything I do! 

So dive in, come with me. This is me. This is my story + I am so glad you are here!
