Last week I joined @aliedwards in her #aepiecesofus self portrait challenge. Self-portraits are not something that comes easily to me by the way - I am much happier and much more comfortable behind the lens of my camera. Which is why I decided to join in this project...to get out of my comfort zone, try something new, and put myself out there in a vulnerable kind of way.

I created a REALLY simple little mini-album to hold my words and photos (I’m sharing it in my IG Story today). I love how this project gave me a different lens for capturing my week by literally putting myself in my story. And I am grateful for the way it reminded me of what a gift these pieces of me are. 💕
