That’s how it was with this River Story. I’d edit one image and then close my computer.
When I edit, there’s this whole conversation that happens between me and the subjects and ancient medicine women and the waters and a million other luminous things. My editing process is a whole lot of intuitive communion with energy. This session brought me SO much.
These women. These three incredible souls. Janica’s mother with her quiet, regal bravery. Little Bailey with her light-filled singing soul. and Janica, bringing her fierce brand of kindness and laughter to the world.

I bet I could find words to illustrate this crazy magical environment, but that’s not really fair.

It’s in my backyard now, and I truly cannot wait to share it with you!
This morning I finished this session. And even though I am a tiny bit sad to see it complete, mostly I am just so completely grateful for every last drop of pure magic it brought to my life.
