Reflections
BLOG
Encounters in light and story — where the outer world stirs the spirit within.
This space is part journal, part gallery, part practice in deep seeing.
It’s where I gather stories, poems, portraits, and images that rise from everyday encounters—with people, places, and passing moments.
Some come from portrait sessions or photo strolls. Others from strangers met by chance. And some are simply still points in time where the world whispered something I didn’t know I needed to hear.
These are reflections—not just of what I see, but of what those moments reflect back to me.
About stillness.
About wonder.
About identity, or longing, or the mystery of being alive.
You’re welcome to linger.
To wander through images and words.
And maybe catch a glimpse of yourself along the way.
Cape Disappointment Lighthouse – Field Note
High noon light, crashing waves, and a lighthouse on the cliff—Cape Disappointment teaches me that true transformation is carved by patience and return.
The Garden Party
What began as a morning stroll with coffee became an unexpected invitation to a lively gathering—alyssum leaping, bees twirling, and sunlight joining the dance.
The Fern’s Debut
A fern, a leaf, and an unexpected shadow-puppet performance. What began as a failed attempt at rabbits and dogs became something entirely unexpected.
Between Worlds
At a quiet pond I found reflections of trees, clouds, and faint birds in flight—light and dark, seen and unseen, held together in balance.
Eternal Embrace
Fire glimmers across water, blue shadows rise beneath—two forces moving, trading places, and leaving us to wonder what holds them together.
Until We Turn
A single blade of grass, crowned with a drop of dew, becomes a quiet portal—holding the world inverted, and reminding us that truth often waits until we shift our view.
Almost Edible
In the hush of the forest, a curl of bark poses as pastry—proof that nature has a playful side and a flair for visual poetry.
The Rock That Dared to Fly
A quiet rock in a still pond dares to dream beyond gravity—reminding us that some of the boldest journeys begin with inner longing and reflection.
The Forest Critic
A moss-faced tree deep in the woods becomes an unlikely critic—reminding us that even the forest keeps watch, and not all silence is approval.
All I Ever Needed
Morning light on a shower curtain becomes a jeweled reminder that beauty, like wealth, often arrives quietly—asking only that we notice.
Guardian in the Trees
A quiet walk in the woods becomes a sacred encounter—with a barred owl, a wordless message, and a reminder to follow the path only you can walk.
The Breath Between
A quiet image of curtains in motion serves as a meditation on grace, stillness, and the kind of breath that leads us gently back to ourselves.
The Art of Becoming
A poetic reflection on growth and surrender—how true becoming unfolds not through striving, but through grace, light, and listening.
Rooted in Good Works
A quiet encounter with a stranger reveals timeless wisdom, divine timing, and a sacred invitation to listen, serve, and bloom with purpose.
Seeing the Unseen
A moment of synchronicity and stillness reveals what’s easily missed—an invitation to witness the hidden beauty shaping our everyday lives.
