#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?

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_outlineOn the Recapture Self podcast it’s our intention to give you a peek at the lives of people who are balancing daily life, parenthood, and a commitment to their creative selves. These are people who are making time and space for their passion projects whether that be writing a book, designing a blog, photographing their family, or running a business.
PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED BY THEIR STORIES.
This week I’m chatting with Nick and Katherine North.
Katherine was a cynic who didn't even believe in true love...until she accidentally fell in love at almost 40-years-old with her best friend, Nick.
But when they fell in love, he wasn't "Nick"... he was "Nikki." And, Nikki was pregnant with baby #4!
Assigned female at birth, Nick always knew deep down he was a man trapped in a woman's body. A stay-at-home pregnant mom and family photographer who didn’t think life could ever be any different, he was stuck in a life that should have made him happy but wasn’t his own.
Together, they navigated Nick's transition from female to male as a couple and as parents and as business owners.
They negotiated the challenges of transitioning while blending a family and keeping their businesses afloat. They continue maneuvering through marriage, parenting five kids, nontraditional gender roles (who pays the bills and does the dishes?,) and so much more.
With true stories, embarrassing anecdotes, and practical advice, Nick and Katherine show their audience and clients how to start taking brave steps in their own lives, wherever they are starting.
Nick and Katherine recently received a grant from Storyhive to create a documentary film about their family called “Just Another Beautiful Family” and are developing the "Beautiful Families" project which will include a conference, podcast, and supportive online community for all sorts of nontraditional families. They have appeared on numerous stages and media outlets.
