Creative Therapy


I get depressed really, really easily. My mood will change from happy to incredibly sad in a matter of seconds and I can never control it or make myself feel any better. But I’ve noticed creating art makes me happy. Working on something I’m proud of gives me a little bit of hope. If I’m in one of my moods, going out and shooting or finding an old photo on my computer to work on totally changes my point of view on the day.
I need to keep creating.

Sophie, Tyler & Kairi

Had the opportunity to shoot their family photos this weekend before they move to the Philippines in two weeks! They were very fun to work with and Kairi was a doll :) Click thru to view the rest.

What seems to be the problem here?

I am in a bird cage;
Or rather, a fish bowl.
I'm up for the show.
Help me out of this hole.

When I escape,
Where do I go?
"What seems to be the problem here?"
Is being said from those I don't know.

artists block?

I've been thinking more and more lately about the types of people I know,
I love being around those that fill their lives with art.
It gives me inspiration;
It gives me hope to be better at what I do.

Artists really do play off each other.
We all learn from seeing another's work.
Watching another in action.
Whether it be photography, music or artwork.

It's fun to learn together,
And not to feel embarrassed if you fail.
Because you can't fail - it's art.
Seeing the beauty in everything.

Sometimes though I don't feel like an artist.
I lie on my bed and cry out for passion.
Can you suffer from 'writers block' in every aspect of art?
I think I do, I really think I do.

That's also hard;
When again, I see those around me.
Constantly displaying their art.
I am so lost in it.

Rather, I don't want to see it.
I don't want to hear it.
Now here I am so aggravated,
Hating it.

Maybe I'm not a true artist,
possibly.
Others show more passion and enthusiasm.
Maybe it's just artists block.
