Practicing Presence: The Healing Power of Slowing Down & Tuning into Mindfulness & Creativity in Photography with Joy Prouty
Manage episode 389286118 series 3314990
Do you struggle to feel present or embrace photography in your personal life? Just because something comes naturally to us as professionals doesn’t necessarily mean that the same is true at home. (Especially if you’re a mother of young children!) Sometimes taking photographs feels more like a chore or a nuisance than the beautiful and therapeutic art form that it’s meant to be.
In today’s episode, I’m discussing this exact topic with professional photographer and author, Joy Prouty. Joy is an expert when it comes to photography as a vehicle for wellbeing and self-compassion in our daily lives outside the studio. Together, we explore everything from getting kids on board with our love of photographs, to leveraging affirmations and intention, to overcoming those things that hold us back. How do you take care of yourself through the process of taking pictures? Now’s your chance to find out!

[04:26] The inspiration for Joy’s book and how to embrace photography as a mother
