TLDR: I’m taking a bit of a social media break. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PERSONAL NOTE: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I need to stare at the wall for a while. Remember how I move in my body, how I feel and what I create when I’m not mirroring everyone else’s energy. I need to stop holding my breath. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have two weeks by myself with my cat and not much planned besides some client work. I have walks to take and drives to make and a chance to find my own rhythm again to take back to my people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Numbing out isn’t working for me to deal with some rising anxiety (forcing “peace” doesn’t work for anyone, does it?), and I’m feeling a need to be really intentional about what I’m taking in and engaging. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Everything feels so hard right now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I’m reclaiming my quiet. My health. My self. My colors. My words, my voice—and hopefully, my passion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _____ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ PS: I might pop into Stories with some more personal shares for my close friends group here (if you want to be a close friend, just DM me), but I’m pulling out of my posting obligations through mid-April. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _____ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⁣ #bykellēsauer #staypresent #creativitydirector #photographer #bringwhatyoulove #breathefire #storyofbeing #affirmation #howtobealover #brandingisalovestory #livemoremagic #portrait #poetphotographer #writersofIG #introvert #introvertartist #selfportrait #liveyourpassion #createeveryday #fempreneur #creativebusiness #simplethingsmadebeautiful #wildsssouls #lifeunscripted #portraitphotographer #entrepreneur #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #spilledink #wednesday __⁣ (at Loudoun County, Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqGRM_eu2zb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

TUESDAY MOOD: Let’s just make art, together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is still space for you in Se Faire, my very intimate 4/7 Charleston mastermind followed by 3 months of calls and connection on all things photography and branding and artistry—but enrollment closes NEXT MONDAY, 3/20. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ll be doing two simple-styled shoots like this one in one or two of my favorite Charleston spots, with only four artists. Lots of 1:1 time, no competition, just sharing my favorite kind of photography day with you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is the most ME thing I’ve ever put out into the world, something I have wanted for *myself* since I started taking pictures, and I just have this feeling that it’s going to be incredibly special. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to come, there’s still room, and I would love to include you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The details are at the link in my profile. Please feel free to DM me if you have questions! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _____ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bykellēsauer #sefaire #mentorship #creativitydirector #photographer #bringwhatyoulove #breathefire #storyofbeing #photographymentor #howtobealover #brandingisalovestory #livemoremagic #portrait #poetphotographer #writersofIG #introvert #introvertartist #workshop #liveyourpassion #createeveryday #fempreneur #creativebusiness #simplethingsmadebeautiful #wildsssouls #lifeunscripted #portraitphotographer #entrepreneur #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #spilledink #tuesday __⁣ (at Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxZlwkL1rJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sharing SE FAIRE—a becoming, an announcement⁣ ⁣ _____⁣ ⁣ This space is the tenderest thing I may ever make—for you, for me, for a few of us together, for a while, for as long as our artist journey is meant to be together.⁣ ⁣ Here’s what it’s going to look like:⁣ ⁣ A day, two styled shoots, and a dinner with me and 3 other women artists in Charleston, SC, followed by 3 months of calls & connection to curate your portfolio, develop your voice, and inspire the art you've been seeing in your soul.⁣ ⁣ DATE: Friday, 7 April 2023⁣ LOCATION: Charleston S.C., USA⁣ ⁣ INCLUDED: ⁣ Two styled shoots (with 1:1 photographer interaction & portfolio shots)⁣ Brunch/lunch after our first shoot⁣ Transportation for the day⁣ An intimate, elegant dinner in one of my favorite spots (venue to be announced)⁣ 3 months of calls, connection, and conversation beyond our day together⁣ An agreed-upon online space to brainstorm, share, and create together⁣ ⁣ PRICE: one payment of $2000 or three payments of $700⁣ ⁣ ATTENDANCE LIMIT: only FOUR spaces⁣ ⁣ BONUS: a FREE 1:1 call to meet with you before we meet in Charleston⁣ ⁣ _____⁣ ⁣ This one’s for the introverts who dared to put themselves out there. For the artist who is afraid that they’ve lost their voice in all the noise and hustle of giving your soul what it really wants. It’s for the one who feels like you’re alone with all your passion and your frustrations and your failures and your dreams.⁣ ⁣ And it’s for you, if you want it. If you are looking for inspiration or even just a bit of beauty that will take you out of where you feel stuck.⁣ ⁣ I can’t wait to meet you there.⁣ ⁣ _____⁣ ⁣ #bykellēsauer #sefaire #staypresent #creativitydirector #photographer #bringwhatyoulove #breathefire #storyofbeing #affirmation #howtobealover #brandingisalovestory #livemoremagic #portrait #poetphotographer #writersofIG #introvert #introvertartist #workshop #liveyourpassion #createeveryday #fempreneur #creativebusiness #simplethingsmadebeautiful #wildsssouls #lifeunscripted #portraitphotographer #entrepreneur #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #spilledink #wednesday __⁣ (at Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQWQcHP0OS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I can’t believe that tomorrow I will actually be announcing a date for this. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _____ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This experience has been years in the making. (The clue was in the name, actually—“se faire” means “to become.”) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s not a workshop, or a retreat, or a course, exactly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s an opportunity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👉🏻 to see how I create art with my camera 👉🏻 to make some art for yourself 👉🏻 to spend a day in my Charleston with me 👉🏻 to create art with other artists 👉🏻 to have the conversations you need to grow ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s the dream photography experience I always wanted, but could never find. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One day. Two shoots. Just four other artists (and me!). A beautiful meal or two. And three months of connection and conversations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I didn’t make this to make a million dollars. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I made it because my heart kept breaking and *I* needed something like this in the world. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I made this for the introvert artist (photographer, writer, painter): to inspire you, to show you that there IS a place for you and your art in your world, to give you an experience that won’t overwhelm you as you step out of your comfort zone. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are only FOUR SPOTS AVAILABLE. DM me if you *know* you want one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The date is coming tomorrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _____ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bykellēsauer #sefaire #staypresent #creativitydirector #photographer #bringwhatyoulove #breathefire #storyofbeing #affirmation #howtobealover #brandingisalovestory #livemoremagic #portrait #poetphotographer #writersofIG #introvert #introvertartist #workshop #liveyourpassion #createeveryday #fempreneur #creativebusiness #simplethingsmadebeautiful #wildsssouls #lifeunscripted #portraitphotographer #entrepreneur #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #spilledink #tuesday __⁣ (at Charleston, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpNX5BMLhZg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The difference lies in how present we are. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because everything in my brain is a bit disjointed with yet another illness in the house this week, here are a few rambly, but lightly profound thoughts about that. And some pictures from a very present moment of mine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you are feeling free to be wherever you are today. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ _____ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bykellēsauer #staypresent #creativitydirector #photographer #bringwhatyoulove #breathefire #storyofbeing #affirmation #howtobealover #brandingisalovestory #livemoremagic #portrait #poetphotographer #morningslikethese #writersofIG #wildseasonalinspiration #womenwhorunwithwolves #liveyourpassion #createeveryday #fempreneur #creativebusiness #simplethingsmadebeautiful #wildsssouls #lifeunscripted #portraitphotographer #entrepreneur #dowhatyoulovelovewhatyoudo #presence #spilledink #friday __⁣ (at San Francisco Bay Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDjtdWP1CQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
