I am in love with photography. I studied it briefly in high school and never let it go as one of my favorite hobbies. It wasn’t until moving to Sweden though that it became a form of communication. After leaving friends, family, and career to move for love, I found myself in a new world and for some reason I became quiet and observant. Without a large community I spent a lot of time alone, walking, and taking it all in. Then I had our daughter and spent even more time walking in silence, looking at the world around me and witnessing beauty in my everyday surroundings. I found a story in each image, a magical world where I could communicate this existence through my eyes. These are some of my favorite shots from 2013.
