It was so nice to see the group quickly bonding. Talking. Sharing.

“Our first outing was a perfect balance of  meeting new friends who share the desire for a peaceful mind, and the enjoyment of photography. I felt comfortable right away, and thoroughly enjoyed myself!”

“I had a great morning meeting some like minded people to wonder and take pictures with. Thank you for providing a low key, no judgement space”

Words I was hoping to hear. I can’t until next months outing.

The first outing for The Theragraphic Project is in the books.

The participants and I had a great time exploring nature with our cameras today.

I’ll be honest—my anxiety was running pretty high leading up to this morning. That nagging voice telling me it wouldn’t go well was loud. But it turns out, it went better than I could’ve hoped.

We shared stories, had meaningful conversations, and even sparked some new friendships.

Nature and photography truly are powerful tools. It’s my hope that the time we spent together offered even a little bit of relief—and maybe, just maybe, a sense of hope for what’s ahead.

Photography has saved my life

Not in some metaphorical or romantic sense—literally.

When the noise in my head is overwhelming, when the pressure feels too heavy, when everything inside me wants to shut down… I reach for my camera.

Behind the lens, I find silence.

I find focus.

I find escape.

My Happy Place

Photography gives me the space to breathe.

It allows me to step out of the chaos—both around me and within—and enter a place where I feel calm, connected, and grounded.

Nature, especially, has always been my sanctuary.

There’s something sacred in the early morning light, the stillness of a foggy trail, the rhythm of wings overhead.

With a camera in hand, I’m no longer just existing—I’m present.

Truly present.

Mindfulness, One Frame at a Time

Photography has become my form of mindfulness.

It’s how I meditate—without sitting still or closing my eyes.

It’s how I listen—without needing words.

Each click of the shutter is a moment of clarity,

A pause in the storm.

In those moments, I’m not my diagnosis.

I’m not the anxiety or the depressive fog.

I’m simply an observer, in tune with something bigger than myself.

The Birth of The Theragraphic Project

This journey is what inspired The Theragraphic Project.

I created it to help others experience the same healing I’ve found through photography.

Mental illness can feel isolating.

But creativity, mindfulness, and connection through the lens can offer a lifeline.

The Theragraphic Project uses photography as a tool for therapy, presence, and peace.

We offer workshops, guided journals, and exercises designed to help people reconnect—with themselves, with nature, with the present moment.

No photography experience is needed.

Just a willingness to slow down and see differently.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple but powerful:

To help people heal, one mindful frame at a time.

Whether it’s capturing the texture of a leaf, the reflection in a puddle, or the light hitting a worn face—there’s beauty in the everyday.

There’s therapy in noticing it.

And there’s freedom in expressing it.

Join the Movement

If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, overwhelmed, or just in need of a different way to process life—

You’re not alone.

The Theragraphic Project is here for you.

Let photography be your guide, your escape, your voice.

Together, we’ll find presence.

Together, we’ll heal—one frame at a time.

Because sometimes, all it takes is one photo to change everything.

Good morning folks. Being able to photograph these Bald Eagles yesterday was definitely a highlight of the week. There’s something so powerful and majestic about seeing them up close, especially through the lens.

A couple of cool facts: Bald Eagles can spot their prey from over a mile away, thanks to eyesight that’s about four to five times sharper than ours. And while they may look heavy, their bones are hollow—making them surprisingly light for their size.

Nature never disappoints.

Make it a great day, chase the light… cheers
