Why I am a Healing Arts Photographer

I specialize in healing arts photography because I deeply desire to help people in their healing journeys, provide solace, and improve their well-being.

This calling became clear after enduring the profound loss of my youngest daughter in an auto accident in 2021. Turning to nature as a refuge from the depths of grief, it took three years to recognize my potential to aid others through the lens of my camera. What began as a personal passion evolved into a purposeful mission, imbued with significant meaning.

Healing arts photography recognizes that healing extends beyond physical health, engaging with emotional and spiritual dimensions that can be overlooked by traditional medicine. NatureArtRx photography complements modern medical treatments by resonating with individuals’ hearts and souls and designed to lower stress and promote healing. This artistic approach seeks not only to visually appeal but also to promote overall well-being, providing support for both individuals and their caregivers. It emphasizes the collective nature of healing, underlining the universal quest for peace and tranquility.
