Your journey needs to be documented-when you are ready. Sharing and documenting your story is one way to help in the healing process. Often, we do not want to talk about our situation or circumstances because it is too painful and hurts so much. That is normal. If we keep it hidden, though, it is like a volcano inside, stirring and swirling and just waiting to erupt. Eventually, we will erupt in some way.

Or, it is like a hidden raccoon under our jacket. The raccoon is there, scratching and clawing to get out. How much damage is that raccoon causing to the person who is hiding it? A lot. It hurts. But, if we let the racoon out and deal with the pain, eventually all the scars that the racoon caused will heal over. Yes. The scars will still be there, but they will be less painful. They are reminders of what we have overcome.

Just like emotions. Those same feelings we felt-the trauma, the pain, the hurt-they are still there. But, they will be less painful and will heal with time as long as we deal with them and work through them.

Our Healing Storytelling Sessions are similar to our Real Life is Beautiful Sessions. Captured in a documentary, life inspired way, but with more planning and formal posing. These sessions are meant to help you with your healing journey-being able to tell your story in an intimate way through photos.

They are meant to capture humanity, the obstacles you've endured, and to celebrate you and the journey you are on.
