Day 10

It’s official: we’re halfway through the 21-Day Photo Challenge!

(If you include Day 0, which I do.)

I want to give a huge shoutout to the 196 humans who jumped in with me. I feel so inspired by all the emails, the photos, and the Instagram posts I’ve seen so far.

It gives me tremendous joy to support humans as they explore and expand their creativity. To witness how so many of you view your world and yourselves differently is one of the highlights of my photography career.

So far, we…

  • played with lighting and angles

  • practiced finding our best photo smiles

  • documented things that bring us joy and love

  • …and even invited our younger selves to the party!

We also challenged ourselves emotionally through journaling prompts, and maybe even discovered creative sides of ourselves we didn’t know existed.

If you started and took a break, or are only participating in challenges that resonate with you, that’s okay too! Each of us starts somewhere, and that means taking steps whenever and wherever we find inspiration.

Here are just a few of the many wonderful moments shared by our first group who were brave enough to join me on this creative adventure.

For anyone who is interested in joining the next 21-Day Photo Challenge, you can join the March group which starts on March 8th.

21-Day Photo Challenge

Starting next week on Feb 1st, I am launching a FREE 21-day photo challenge. The goal is to inspire all you amazing humans out there to take full advantage of your smartphone cameras. 📸

We will start super slow. There will be an optional journaling prompt that is related to each day’s challenge. There will even be opportunities for me to review your photos and give constructive feedback if you’re up for it.

(The photo review is optional and will be done in a fun and loving way. I promise.)

The goal is to gently build confidence and creative momentum over the course of 21 days. 

But also, the other goal is to have FUN! 

The cost is $0.00 and EVERYONE is invited. All you need is your smartphone and a journal.
