I apologize for the ads and hope that it will not be annoying or put anyone off.

... You can look at a picture for a week and never think of it again. You can also look at a picture for a second and think of it all your life. -Joan Miro // Five years ago, yesterday, was the first time this photo was put out there for anyone who should so happen upon it to see. I had likely seen it days earlier, as I’m the one in the photo, so the photographer likely gave me a sneak peek before publishing it on her blog. In one second... that first second I saw it... I knew it would forever be etched in my memory. My dear photographer friend, @stacey_montgomery, took this photo of me while I was pregnant with Anysia. Just yesterday, I was telling a friend how much I want to be able to tell stories with my photos... without having to add a caption to explain them... or at least with minimal words to accompany. It had me thinking a lot about what we can say with our art... how we use it. Here’s the thing. Whether we’re photographers, writers or business owners who use our art to make a living or run some kind of organization, we’ve a great responsibility to tell stories well. We can use these mediums to reveal truths or make others ask questions. But to tear another down? Never should we. Of course, we can. But it baffles me when people choose to use their talents thus, rather than using them to promote healing, good, or inspiration... even via what might look like pain or sorrow, the way my dear friend did here. Our images and words can hold a lot of power. Power to heal. Even to reveal. Power in the other direction too... power to poke fun or intentionally hurt. What will you choose to do with the images you create or the stories you tell? What will I? I hope it’s always in the realm of inspiration, healing and beauty. Beauty is everywhere... even in the dark. Even in the barren. Even in a chaotic life or mind. It’s up to artists what we choose to do with it. If I could never behold this image again, it will remain in my thoughts for all of my life. And for all of my life, I’m grateful to the loveliest artist who created it with the best of human intentions. . . . . #maternityphotography #maternitysession #pregnancy #healwithart #beautyiseverywhere
