What daffodils taught me this spring about my artist self.

The Year 2018
The Mother, Part 1
The day I watched the arboretum awaken, I saw spring herself.
She wandered the barren earth and called color from the ground with her toes. Her skirt train caught mud and pine, her cheeks pinched with the leftover chill. When spring arrives each year, I see her as a mother. The two roles are bonded in my thoughts. They share the ideas of growth, resilience, rebirth, change, and grace. When my dear friend became pregnant with her first girl, I knew I wanted to shoot something like this. Portraying the part in my mind where motherhood and spring come together.

Lessons From The Garden
Gardening is my favorite thing to do besides photography. I get my exercise, prayer time, and relaxation by digging in dirt and taking care of plants I have brought up since seeds. At first I thought gardening and photography were two separate things in my life. Gardening was a way to recoup when photography took too much out of me.
