I have always been drawn to slow, meaningful processes \u2014 the kind that ask you to notice, to listen, and to stay present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Photography taught me this first.
How to wait for the right light.
How to see what\u2019s already there.
How to create something meant to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sourdough came later, but it felt familiar right away.
Another living process.
Another practice that rewards patience over pressure.
Another way of creating something meant to be lived with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the heart of everything I do is craft \u2014 the kind that values care, rhythm, and trust over perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through photography<\/strong>, I create heirloom images that honor people as they are, in this season of their lives. Work meant to be held, displayed, and passed down \u2014 not scrolled past and forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Through sourdough education<\/strong>, I teach people how to work with living food in a way that feels calm and sustainable. Not rigid rules or performance baking \u2014 but understanding, confidence, and rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These may look like different offerings, but they come from the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both photography and sourdough ask the same things of us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both create something tangible. I don\u2019t separate these practices because I don\u2019t experience them as separate. They are simply different ways of working with my hands, my eye, and my attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re here for photography<\/strong>, you\u2019ll find portrait and heirloom work rooted in presence and care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re here for sourdough<\/strong>, you\u2019ll find gentle teaching designed to make learning feel supportive, not overwhelming. (courses coming soon!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re welcome in either space \u2014 or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is slow work, by design. Everything is meant to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Much love, About I have always been drawn to slow, meaningful processes \u2014 the kind that ask you to notice, to listen, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-41","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crystaladelephotography.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crystaladelephotography.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crystaladelephotography.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crystaladelephotography.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crystaladelephotography.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/crystaladelephotography.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":533,"href":"https:\/\/crystaladelephotography.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/41\/revisions\/533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crystaladelephotography.ca\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
