Photography is very big in my life. I love capturing the beautiful soul I see during portrait sessions, and particularly love the special family moments, the in between as I like to call it, during family sessions. While I don’t do nearly as many sessions as I used to years ago, I still love it when old clients ask for updated photos.
Earlier this week I was noticing how, as humans, it’s incredibly easy to focus on the minutiae. Our focus tends to be on ONE thing, and when I say ONE thing, it’s hyper focused on that subject and moves on to the next when we feel like we’ve resolved (aka controlled) it in some way or another.
And I thought to myself, what if we zoomed out?
How much of this precious life, this day, this landscape are we missing by zooming in? What if we took a step back (for those of you that are used to primes) and saw the bigger picture? Just how much meaning of the bigger picture does this “one” thing end up having?
Oftentimes we forget. We forget how much grandeur, mystery, beauty, and synchronicity there is to life.
We forget just how much beauty there is everywhere, including our own selves.
Can we zoom out today? And begin to appreciate the bigger picture? What other beautiful mysteries might we be missing?
I hope we find out.
In wellness,
