#91 The Reconnect Series - Reconnect With A Camera
Capture What Matters
Photography for me runs so much deeper than making memories. I've realized that when I pick up a camera something inside me shifts, and I feel good. Even if my photos are terrible, I feel good inside There is an intentional shift of perspective that happens when I look through a camera lens. And I begin to see the world around me differently I get out of my head, and into my heart.

#90 The Reconnect Series - Reconnect With Curiosity
Capture What Matters
Somewhere during pandemic life that days started to all string together and feel the same. So I just stopped capturing everything. I do miss the feeling of picking up my camera, but for some reason I struggle with looking for the perfect reason or occasion or moment to begin capturing life consistently again. When I get stuck like this...Instead of listening to the voice in my head that's on a loop telling me to "just pick up the stupid camera and capture something..." I get curious. And you can too!

#82 Making Meaningful Connections With Your Family & Your Self With Valerie Schoenfeld
Capture What Matters
In today's episode of Capture What Matters, I'm talking to Valerie Schoenfeld, a mom of three who decided, at seven months pregnant with her third baby, that she was ready to start a photography business.
info_outlineI’ve been thinking a lot lately about what I’d like life to look like when this is all over.
Admittedly, this pandemic seems to shine a light in the places we’ve been ignoring far too long. It’s uncomfortable and it makes me question my confidence.
Who am I?
What do I value?
How do I want to show up for myself and my family?
Where do I concentrate my time and energy and resources right now?
What is fair to expect of myself right now?
A few weeks ago, we wrapped up teaching our first Teentography kids virtual class and we're starting teaching another one this week.
With the help of these kids, I find the answers to those questions coming into clarity. I’ve learned from these kids, who are picking up a camera and sharing their hearts with me, how to lean into creativity and let go of expectations
These teens have breathed life into me on the days where I just couldn’t for myself.
And they're helping me remember there isn't anything I need to DO or anyone I need to BE in order to claim worth and confidence.
As we travel deeper into our theme of worth this month at Momtography and I think about our Teentography students and my own extreme awkwardness and resistance to feeling worthy at that age, I decided to bring a really special guest onto the show today.
My best friend, Phyllis Myers.
A person I've know since were teens. Someone who is extroverted, and outgoing, and bold, and not afraid to make friends wherever she goes. And one of a handful of people on the planet who knows my own personal struggles with confidence and worth.
Today Phyllis and I deep dive into our past selves, our unique struggles with worth, and how self-discovery and our unique friendship has allowed us to grow and support each other in coming back to confidence when we're feeling challenged.
