Such a gift being able to witness this momma bring her son in to the world at home, with amazing strength and power. I am in awe. And with that, I am off call for 6 days ❤️ Delivered by : The Midwives Collective . . . . . . #thebirthnarrative #theemotionalartist #themonochromaticlens @bcmidwives #birthphotogs #birthunitedus #birthbecomesher #birthwithoutfear #yyj #victoriabc @thebump @cafemomofficial #birthtube #lblcollective @clickinmoms (at Victoria, British Columbia)

Accurate representation of me right now after this day. {Warning: this is lengthy}People mistakenly believe that ADHD is not real. That it's an invented disorder created by people who need excuses. At best, people assume it's a disorder for little boys...not little girls and certainly not grown women. So...when, after a long day (of refocusing and resetting every 5,10,15 min and trying and failing to ignore extraneous noise and sights), you have to stroll through a crowded, loud school of tiny people and giant people and strollers all set to literal music (and figurative music of talking and coughing and crying and laughing and stomping) to meet your kid's teacher for the first time...it's perfectly odd, albeit absolutely necessary, to wear earbuds the whole time and then go home & sit naked in a dark closet for 20 minutes--because sensory overload. But, sure, maybe I just need to try harder...🙄 I don't know why I didn't "outgrow" it (except because statistics) but maybe if my brain was wired differently, I wouldn't see the world the way I do and I wouldn't have my art...so, given that choice, I'll take this chaos. •••• ________ _____ ___ #longday #dearphotographer #documentyourdays #thedocumentarymovement #thesincerestoryteller #thelifestylecollective #dpmagfaves #jj_emotional #jj_community #lookslikefilm #lblcollective #myfeatureshoot #moodygrams #adhd #galleryoflightfeature #candidchildhood #lifewellcaptured #archivecollectivemag #calledtobecreative #thedocumentaryapproach #huffpostgram #thehonestlens #iamother #wethecreators

Something about this black and white conversion...it feels silent and regal...almost spiritual or hallowed... But that's me and I'm weird so...🤷🏽‍♀️•••• _______________ _________ _____ • • • • • • • • ____ _______ ___________ #everybodystreet #gramoftheday #justgoshoot #everydayusa #spicollective #ig_street #bnw_magic #bnw_society #bnw_legit #blackandwhite #jj_community #jj_streetphotography #jj_monochrome #jj_blackandwhite #myfeatureshoot #theprintswap #thebest_capture #thisaintartschool #thedocumentarymovement #lblcollective #burnmagazine #big_shotz_bw #streetphoto_bw #archivecollectivemag #streetphoto #houstonvisuals #houpulse #bridge #gotd_1585 #spi_minimalism

So this isn’t a beautiful edit of a magical shot or anything...but I found this in my archives and it made me smile. This was how I found Lydia (aka Dos) one morning after she’d decided to get experimental with the yogurt. She was about 1.5 or 2 at the time, but apparently she’s sold on the beautification properties of yogurt because she smeared some on her neck just the other day 😝Anyway, it just goes to show–it’s not about the equipment used (although I’m still pining after the Fuji X-T20), it’s about the moment documented. And I’m just glad I had my iPhone on me for this one. _________________________________________ _______________________________ _____________________ #postthepeople #magicofchildhood #childhoodunplugged #candidchildhood #clickmagazine #littleandbrave #kidsofinstagram #kidsforreal #dearphotographer #galleryoflightfeature #gatherandtend #momswithcameras #momlife #nikonphotography #lifewellcaptured #let_there_be_delight #lblcollective #thebloomforum #thehonestlens #thesincerestoryteller #thebest_capture #thatauthenticfeeling #thecandidclass #thelifestylecollective #lifestylephotography #documentyourdays #dfpcommunity #shamoftheperfect
