One of my goals since the start of 2025 is to photograph more personally. Just daily life, trips, anything I find interesting or beautiful.

And my gosh it feels like flexing a muscle I haven't used...which is weird 'cause I literally take photos for a living 🙈

After so long of photography being "work" for me, it felt so foreign and sooo refreshing to take photos 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦. No deadlines, no obligation to perform or excel or improve or even share. Just a chance to take notice and click the shutter.

Best goal ever 🥹❤️ I look back at these photos now and they make me feel so many feelings. These will forever remind me of places I've been, the random hang outs with friends, the light that just looked so good through the windows, the things past Lennie thought was pretty 🥹 They only get better with time

But yeah all that rambling just to say—take the photos. Take them whenever you feel like it. Take them imperfectly with potato quality. Future you will look back on them and be so happy 🥰
