Great musings.!

The strength of woman I think, comes from there ability to endure.

Thank you lovely ✨ I hadn’t realized it was such a theme in my work until I started photographing other people more. Several of them said “thank you for capturing how I feel in the inside” and that really stuck with me

It’s such a gift to give someone… to capture that in them, and mirror to them a piece of them they haven’t been able to see before in images. I have found a photographer that does the same for me and it’s so powerful, and I’m so grateful to her. Xx

It’s pretty incredible! I think about other social media platforms where it feels like everyone is hustling and vying for attention. This space reminds me of my early days on bookstagram, when it was quiet and fun and people were just sharing their creativity and supporting each other!

Oh that sounds so nice! Some of that bookstagram content was so magic does it still happen?

Definitely not as much - I miss the days when the app was so quite and wholesome! But there's still a small portion of the community that's active

Oh wow I’ll go check it out! I listened to a podcast the other day with someone who supports bookstagramers and authors to grow on insta and I thought ooo how timely!

Oh interesting! Do you remember the name of the podcast? It's interesting because a lot of the bookish community has moved over to Tiktok in the past few years, which is fun but has a very different vibe than the old bookstagram days (I sound like such a hipster typing that lol 😂)
