There’s a part of Human Design that not many people talk about — it’s called your Variable. It gives clues about how you’re wired to take in life, what kind of environment supports our individual energy, and even how we are designed to see the world.

One piece of that is your ideal environment — not just the kind of place you live, but the kind of energy you thrive in.

Mine? It’s called Mountains, with a Passive frequency and an Observer view.
And honestly, once I learned that, everything about how I create — and how I photograph — just made sense.

The Mountain: Where Perspective Lives

People with a “mountains” environment are meant to have space.
To see things from a little distance.
To breathe.

It doesn’t mean isolation — it just means we do our best when we’re not right in the middle of the noise. We need stillness, quiet, and perspective to see clearly.

That’s so me.

I’ve never been the kind of person who thrives in chaos. I find beauty in the calm moments, the quiet in-between, the way light moves across someone’s face when they’re not even aware of the camera.

When I’m photographing, I’m not trying to direct or control the moment. I’m just there, watching, waiting, letting things unfold naturally.
Because that’s where the magic lives.

The mountains don’t rush.
They just hold space.

And that’s exactly what I try to do in my work — hold space for you to just be.

My time with you isn’t a session — it’s a moment.
A breath.
A little slice of truth that we get to freeze in time.

The Passive Frequency: The Power of Letting Things Happen

Being “passive” in Human Design doesn’t mean lazy or checked out — it means you’re meant to let life come to you. You don’t chase, you attract. You align by trusting and allowing instead of forcing.

That idea changed everything for me.

Because that’s exactly how I create. When I’m behind the camera, I don’t go in with a rigid plan. I tune in. I follow what feels right. I wait for the laugh, the quiet glance, the fleeting expression that says everything words can’t.

When you stop trying to make something happen, life gives you these beautiful, honest moments. And that’s what I love to capture — not the polished or posed version, but the real one.

The Observer: Seeing the Story Behind Everything

The “observer” view in Human Design means you’re here to see the bigger picture. You notice patterns, connections, meaning — how things fit together.

That’s so much of how I see people.

When I photograph you, I’m not just thinking about your angles or your outfit. I’m watching your energy, the way you move, the story behind your eyes. I see you as part of a larger story — your love, your becoming, your essence.

That’s why my work leans so heavily into storytelling and candids. Because I’m not there to stage a moment — I’m there to witness it.

It’s not about perfect posing. It’s about real emotion. The way you pull your partner closer without thinking, the way your hair catches the light, the way your laughter fills a room.

That’s the magic. That’s the story.

What It’s Taught Me

Learning about my Human Design gave me language for something I’d already felt my whole life — that I’m not here to force things. I’m here to feel them. To trust the natural rhythm of life and create from that place.

When I do, my art flows. My connections deepen. My work feels like me.

The Mountains remind me to rise above the noise and take a breath.
My Passive energy reminds me that I don’t have to push — I can trust.
And my Observer view reminds me to keep seeing the beauty in everything, even the quiet, ordinary moments.

That’s how I approach every shoot. Every client. Every creative project.

So when you step in front of my lens, I want you to know — I’m not here to pose you. I’m here to see you.

To notice the things that make you you.
To hold space for your story to unfold naturally.
To give you a moment of remembrance — of how beautiful you already are when you’re not trying to be anything else.

Because really, that’s what all of this is about — seeing, remembering, and being.
