So I’m back. Back in my home town. I stepped through the arrivals gate at Pearson and saw my mother waiting for me, she held out her hand and said, ‘Here’s your jacket.’ Because in Canada that’s what’s most important. 😜 . Time. Life. Things have a strange way of happening. I honestly have no idea where the next few months will lead me or where my feet will end up. I’m not gonna lie. I’m scared. Each morning my brain opens with uncertainty, then excitement, then overwhelm, then positivity and then ending with a pen in my hand and two pages in my journal quickly filled. . Being your own boss, building your own business - it’s hard, isn’t it? It’s worth it, isn’t it? ______ #thesojourntribe #wayfindergirl #feetstagram #geox #wanderfolk #bossbabes #businesswomen #travelphotographer #tplinsiders #businesslife #nomadstories #wildernessnation #wildlife_perfection #outdoorwomen #hiker #adventureculture #kananaskis #alberta #explorealberta #wanderout #getoutthere #discoveryourpotential (at Kananaskis County, Alberta)

"A reminder that being soft and gentle doesn't mean you're not strong. It takes courage, boldness, and strength to be soft in a hard world." -- unknown No pun intended, but I'm feeling this so hard lately! Whew!!! It really struck a chord; a good reminder that it's okay to feel delicate. Like these soft delicate eggs, we all have a tough exterior that holds us together but it's fragile when others are not careful. It takes courage to be soft! ✌🏻and 💛 to each of you!!! . . . . . . . . . #communityovercompetition #shuttergoesclick #ohwowyes #trianglephotographer #ncportraitphotographer #shuttergoesclick #SGCportraits #girlpreneur #livebeautifully #TPLinsiders #naturallightphotographer #farmlife #risingtidesociety #theeverygirl #chasinglight #NC #farmfresheggs #NCfarm #shuttergoesclick #durhamportraitphotographer #Nikon #thehappynow #thatsdarling #locallygrown #girlboss #Durham #bullcity #allthefeels #fresheggs

SISTER TRIP 2017 is up on the blog!!! The day I was cleared by my doctors, and from the belly band, I flew down to ATL to meet up with Kylie. From ATL we decided to take the flight that had the most seat availability to any of the following cities: Portland ME, San Diego CA, or Seattle WA. We were open for whatever! It comes as no surprise now but it was Seattle for the win! Our combo, pregnant/bandaged arm, was quite comical for travel and trust me you won't want to miss this amazing food list either! #linkinbio . . . . . . . . . . #sistertrip #SGCtravels #SGCphotography #seattle #WA #traveltoseattle #TPLinsiders #risingtidesociety #theeverygirl #wanderlust #travelblogger #chasinglight #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #thatsdarling #shuttergoesclick #girlboss #travelbug #fujixt20 #durhamnc #chasinglight #foodtour #seattlewa #PNW #foodietour #SEA #thehappynow #darlingweekend #girlboss (at Matt's in the Market)

Taking the day to do a little self-indulging. One thing I'll indulge in is getting some fresh-cut flowers. I can remember as a little girl my mom letting me forage for wild flowers (okay maybe they were weeds) on our daily walks. She'd always make me a little vase to fill my bouquets which were probably pitiful but hey...I was proud of it! I love how flowers can change a space and make it feel cozy. Bringing a little nature in our homes makes such a difference! What kinds of things will you treat yourself to this week?

As the photographer, its my job to build trust first, then shape the vulnerability into confidence, and Nikki totally crushed it! Nikki was the winner of my free portrait session giveaway and trust me, you'll want to see more of her crazy beautiful portraits on the blog #linkinbio . . . . . . . . . . #shuttergoesclick #SGCphotography #durhamnc #trianglephotographer #ncportraitphotographer #fujixt20 #SGCportraits #naturallightphotographer #ncphotographer #Durham #NC #TPLinsiders #risingtidesociety #theeverygirl #fuji #chasinglight #35mm #durhamportraitphotographer (at East Durham, Durham)

Vulnerability. It seems to be a repeating theme in my life recently, and it's scary treading into the unknown. I had two interviews recently and in BOTH interviews the conversation seemed to shift to the subject of being vulnerable (and in two wildly different ways too)! Sharing my personal story of skin cancer felt and still makes me feel extremely vulnerable. I know it may not seem like a big deal, but my scar has been a painful and shocking reminder of what grew on my body. All the while I feel a silly-horrible guilt that it was just stage I melanoma (with no chemo or radiation)...I can't claim to be a cancer survivor; all I did was have it cut from my arm! Even though I have a battle wound it wasn't even a fight!!! In this vulnerability of sharing my story, I've been astonished to hear from so many of you (even people I've never met)! "I just set up my first dermatology appointment because of you." "When we went to the beach I made my partner use sunscreen too!" "I now use makeup that has SPF!" Seriously, blown away by all of you who cared to listen 😍😍😍 So, this post comes early as I'm headed into *I think* my final arm procedure. I've been getting laser treatments to help breakdown scar tissue and nerve damage while it also helps with the coloration too. Today's procedure is looking a lot different -- I'm having fat grafted. The contour of my arm hasn't been this same, and I still feel discomfort there because my skin feels like it's resting on bone. I haven't been able to carry grocery bags or my handbag on my left arm because the sensation feels uncomfortable and odd. It's an outpatient procedure with a 3 week recovery process (which means no being active/exercising 😳). So if you can send over your good vibes, Netflix suggestions, and a puny joke that'd be great! ✌🏻💛 📸 @markmayaphoto . . . . . . . . . . . #melanoma #melanomaawareness #fuckcancer #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition #scar #cancerscar #skincancerawareness #TPLinsiders #SPF #skincheck #vulnerable #loveyourskin #cancersucks #DurhamNC #playsafeinthesun #skinprotection #keto #melahomie #protectyourskin #sunsafe #Durham #carcinoma #mydocsrocks (at Durham, North Carolina)
