So, who's behind the lens?
We both are. Really.
Becoming a mother affected every aspect of my life. Including my photos; in so many ways motherhood changed what I see, how I see, and what I choose to shoot.
Here goes:
Jade Lyf, mother of one, happily married, passionate photographer. I am a reader, a writer, a coffee drinker, a visual storyteller. I'm an artist and an introvert. And am always in search of experineces and moments, and details.
I specialize in documentary and storytelling, lifestyle and fine art photography. I have an eye for often forgotten details and intricacies. It brings me joy to create and document beautiful stories with my lens. Your stories.
I have recently been asked to be a part of the wonderful group of women who run Fantastically Flawed, I couldn't be more honoured as this blog has enlivened my spirit and helped me so much to find my photographic voice, I feel that I really "fit" in this wonderfully unique community.
There's nothing more entrancing to me than an image I can look -into-, find the story in, instead of just looking -at- an image. So these raw, emotive, real and memoable images are the kinds of photo's you can expect to get from Lyf Is Grand Photography.
Moments on paper.
Life's little boxes.
