and though the silence can become quite deafening, I must remind myself that I once prayed for this peace. #docphoto #blackandwhite https://www.instagram.com/p/B--5wGZnjfeyLHzR_atchACkAqOzvHgL3rmod40/?igshid=wnr27esotqe4

All I wanted to gift myself this year was to get rid of all the kitchen appliances that my ex gave me when we were starting off. One year for Christmas, he set me up for my then-new kitchen...All really nice electrical appliances and knives that otherwise would have taken me some time to purchase. This morning, I threw away all of those old gifts. I love to cook, it’s one of my favorite self care remedies, but every time I would go to chop a vegetable, I would stare at my knives, remembering that Christmas and remembering all those brutal fights we would find ourselves in thereafter. I never want to throw away anything that works fine because honestly, I’m frugal with purchases for myself. But this year, I did it. I don’t want to be reminded of the things that hurt me anymore that I can help. #MerryChristmasToMe 🎄 (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6a4QWInP8RpcUPpHMjOlVBF2TGfeg_yivrlQ80/?igshid=goajnkyc9ldv

One of my most favorite aspects of photographing people is when I get to take a step back and see some incredible things through my lens, that I otherwise may not experience in my own life line. My gratitude for these moments always puts me in check with the things that I value most. This weekend I had the unique privilege of photographing 50 years of marriage, and a renewal of wedding vowels; something I have never been a part of. They were so kind to one another and kind to one another’s family. They were silly and he made her laugh. They walked at the same pace through the gardens, rarely letting go of one another’s hands. It was really fulfilling to just witness how simple, genuine love can be ❤️ #photography #50th #Anniversary #bw #canon #vowel #renewal #love #marriage #gratitude (at Jenkins Arboretum & Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2DcMy7HVJzqdugVEqSzxHXJojv5fi5QI_qgdg0/?igshid=atl85cumpfvo

After the memorial tonight, I walked back to my car with my friend. It was about 5 blocks and I nursed my candle flame the whole way. There was something about carrying a lit candle in memoriam of all those we have lost to substance use disorder, and walking with it down Kensington Ave. It didn’t blow out either, despite the passing cars and the el roaring by. (Look there is an orb on my leg!) thank for the capture 📷: @the_brittjames #RememberMeWalk #OverdoseAwareness2019 #Kensington #Philadelphia #Philly (at McPherson Square Branch) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1xl0RynT4IDJn-zmJQbJPlEVEFo4d6ng390bQ0/?igshid=1rilw2eah1dwx

Back to reality...With fresh perspectives and an open mind and heart. Travel is so damn good for the soul. It detaches you from the daily “stressors” and places you in the unfamiliar, and you just gain this first-person perspective on adaptability. You experience yourself learning and utilizing your existing abilities in a brand new light, proving how important so many of your character traits truly are. Seeing them to work outside of your comfort zone is proof that They should be embraced, not hidden away. You should always allow yourself to be seen and heard because you. are. able. And what you know, and what you experience matters. This experience makes returning to the familiar easy, and the whole “only putting worry where it belongs” in proper balance. #PillowThoughts 🌙 https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFymFFAhRG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1d7iy4qetdajr

Tenni, you better be cool with being our friend forever because we’re not gonna leave you alone from here on out! Last night in Paris ❤️❤️#bktakesontheuk (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/BoAMYzUAd8D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=194tmv8m8yyc0

I worked and provided myself with everything I have. My life has been masterfully crafted by the choices and work I never stopped creating. I have spent too much time and too much energy waiting for others to love me the way I should have been loving myself all along. I solemnly swear to myself that I will always be my own, before belonging to anyone else. I promise to stand up for the betterment of my own life, first and foremost, no matter how uncomfortable those conversations may be. To magnifying the best characteristics within myself, forever and to remain humble with both my successes and hardships. #BoughtMyOwnDamnRing #IAmMine (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_tQGMAc9s/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t0lpj52d8y1k
