Week #7 in Atlanta. This one really meant something special. Yesterday gave me back home vibes. So grateful to celebrate + capture life. ✨

- Ugh, those feels again 🌹

One of the BEST things that I’ve learned over my years as a photographer is how important it is to connect with others in your industry. Each of us all have our own unique journeys and you never know what you’ll learn by being open to new ideas & perspectives. Last week, @highdevinition invited me out to collab on a shoot with up and coming actress @elexis.evone!
I enjoy photography for many reasons, but this is one of the main ones. We all have to start somewhere and I love being able to use my photos to help others succeed at their own dreams. Ready to turn your dreams into a reality? Click the link in bio and let’s make it happen ❤️

⁣So it’s been a little over a month since I’ve moved to #Atlanta and it's def been an adjustment. I noticed that I was starting to feel a little homesick and at first I beat myself up about it. I remember saying to myself, “Isn’t this what you wanted?! Why are you looking back?”⠀
⠀
I had to stop & check myself from the negative self-talk REAL quick. I realized that of course I’m homesick and it’s absolutely fine to feel that way. I’m 25 & I’ve never lived out of state away from all of my friends & family. This is absolutely normal. I’m HUMAN. Coming from Louisiana where the culture is so rich and authentic, I doubt I’ll ever find a place “exactly” like it. ⠀
⠀
BUT I’m learning to ACCEPT & enjoy my new city for its own unique reasons. What I do love about Atlanta so far is how welcoming & supportive people have been to me. Literal strangers have connected me to get some amazing photography opportunities. Women have sat down to chat with me about how to grow my business. I’ve already found an outstanding mentor. The list goes on. ⠀
⠀
Now whenever the homesickness comes up, I remind myself that home isn’t necessarily a place, it’s a feeling. ❤️ The more that I venture out to find the people & things that make me FEEL good, the more that I’m reminded that I’m exactly where I need to be. ⠀
⠀
Tag someone who just recently moved or who is about to embark on their journey in a new city and needs some encouragement. ✨
