#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!

What I've discovered through this exploration is a deep desire to help other moms like you reconnect with your dreams too. For us moms., this has been a year of survival mode. We are out of practice. With everything. So instead of getting back on a bike and going full speed ahead with our calendars, our conversations, and our creativity...how about we get back on a tricycle instead?

PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED BY THEIR STORIES.
This week I’m chatting with Natalie Allgyer.
Natalie Allgyer is a photo artist, with a fiercely creative soul who uses a camera and photoshop to display a wide array of feeling and emotion. She learned her craft on her own and continues to hone it weekly.
Born in NJ she and her husband chose Charleston, SC as the place for them to raise their daughter. It was in Charleston that Natalie found her soul, and the creativity began to flow thru the lens of her camera. At one point she decided that reality wasn’t conveying her message as deeply as she felt it so she took to photoshop. That is where the magic began.
Natalie’s whimsical style incorporates pieces of her own images that she makes with her dslr camera. It can take an upward of 20 images to create one of her works. She enjoys using elements of nature and the world around her in her art. Her carefully curated color choices in combination with painstakingly thoughtful lighting, contrast, and texture lends itself to her empathic vibe and painterly feel.
Each of Natalie pieces are available as limited edition prints only. Once they run out that is it. There will be no more creations of that particular piece. Each print is printed on archival velvet paper, signed and numbered by Natalie herself, and each comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Natalie’s mission is to show you the world thru her eyes while also conveying feelings and vibes that just about each and every one of us could relate to in some way. Cheers and enjoy!
