So I’m back. Back in my home town. I stepped through the arrivals gate at Pearson and saw my mother waiting for me, she held out her hand and said, ‘Here’s your jacket.’ Because in Canada that’s what’s most important. 😜 . Time. Life. Things have a strange way of happening. I honestly have no idea where the next few months will lead me or where my feet will end up. I’m not gonna lie. I’m scared. Each morning my brain opens with uncertainty, then excitement, then overwhelm, then positivity and then ending with a pen in my hand and two pages in my journal quickly filled. . Being your own boss, building your own business - it’s hard, isn’t it? It’s worth it, isn’t it? ______ #thesojourntribe #wayfindergirl #feetstagram #geox #wanderfolk #bossbabes #businesswomen #travelphotographer #tplinsiders #businesslife #nomadstories #wildernessnation #wildlife_perfection #outdoorwomen #hiker #adventureculture #kananaskis #alberta #explorealberta #wanderout #getoutthere #discoveryourpotential (at Kananaskis County, Alberta)

I've been a little quiet on Instagram. Despite the visual lull here, I can guarantee the storm is brewing! Creative things are happening, goals are being set, and pushing the boundaries as I'm reaching out of my comfort zone. 📈📆📸💪🏻Admittedly I'm nervous, but it feels amazing to have you all cheering me along. 💛😘💛 . . . . . . . . . . #girlpreneur #ForceofNature #optoutside #shuttergoesclick #trianglephotographer #ncportraitphotographer #SGCportraits #TPLinsiders #womeninnature #risingtidesociety #theeverygirl #celebratewild #durhamportraitphotographer #thehappynow #findyourpark . . . .

Their love for each other is absolutely beautiful to watch, and from the zillion toasts given it was incredibly evident how they are such good people who are very loved! @goodnessaidan and @happydestro are up on the blog today #linkinbio . . . . . . . #ncbride #ncwedding #wedinNC #DurhamNC #weddingkiss #allthefeels #northcarolina #shuttergoesclick #SGCphotography #trianglephotographer #ncportraitphotographer #SGCwedding #naturallightphotographer #ncphotographer #Durham #NC #TPLinsiders #risingtidesociety #durhamweddingphotographer #chasinglight #durhamportraitphotographer #ncweddingphotographer #thatsdarling #marriedinNC #TPLinsiders #relationshipgoals #bullcity #downtowndurham (at Social Games and Brews)

As the photographer, its my job to build trust first, then shape the vulnerability into confidence, and Nikki totally crushed it!

When your pie lady friend @eastdurhampieco needs an ingredient that happens to be growing in your backyard! Oh honeysuckle, your smell is so light and intoxicating! The ladies (🐓🐓🐓) clucked about without a care as we (and two little awesome little helpers) foraged for the wild blooms. Ahhhhh, community and nature...I'm feeling all the happy vibes! ✌🏻💛 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #honeysuckle #backyardchickens #forage #theinstagramlab #risingtidesociety #thatsdarling #ohwowyes #northcarolinaweddingphotographer #shuttergoesclick #TPLinsiders #communityovercompetition #chasinglight #petitejoys #jennakutchercourse #thephotolab #ncweddingphotographer #thatsloverly #NC #tilinsiders #theeverygirl #ncportraitphotographer #DurhamNC #tricityphotographer (at East Durham, Durham)

"One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well." -- Virginia Woolf I'd adore to gather family and friends around this beautiful table and soak in all the beauty of community and love.
