One of my favourite self-portaits to date. I typically photograph with a wide angel lens, but for this one I put on my 70-200 2.8 and tried to create something slightly different from my usual work. It is much more challenging to photograph yourself with a telephoto lens because you often have to be much further away from the camera. I set up my remote trigger to continuously take images and slowly walked towards the camera as to not disrupt the reflections too much.
I have spent so much time at this lake practicing all forms of my photography. It is a beautiful gem tucked away in British Columbia in Canada. It is always quiet here except for the odd fisherman.

SOLD OUT
I come from a family of abuse. My dad. Physical, verbal and emotional. I watched in horror and anger how he treated my mom, who is truly a special lady. I remember when I was little, I would shut off my mind and escape in my dreams. This is called disconnecting. I often dreamt of a different family or I would have nightmares of something happening to my mom. There was this moment in grade 5 when my dad was so angry at me for something, he had me pinned on the ground and I can still picture his face shouting at me to this day.
This all came out in my adult life and I made many poor decisions in my late 20s. My mental health declined and I had no choice but to face these dragons. Forgiveness has happened with my family and I am in an AMAZING place now in my 30's.
Even though I’m a grown woman, these images represent that little girl who had many dreams of escaping to beautiful places in a dress.
Thank you for viewing my heart & passion.
