ABOUT ME

Howdy, y'all! I'm Julie—a photographer from Texas who quit her desk job to travel the world for a year! (Wait, just a year!?) Follow along with my journey as I share stories and photos from around the globe.

Instagram

THIS! THIS is everything.  THIS is the kind of photo I always want to take. THIS is the kind of photographer I always want to be. And THIS is the kind of image I hope can open doors for orphans in Africa. Cyrus is a child from Narok, #Kenya. He frequents a small orphanage on the outskirts of town run by @jeremiahsfamilyministry. The organization shelters, protects and feeds children who are running from abuse, neglect, and starvation. More than 100 neighborhood children turn up to the orphanage on Saturdays to play and laugh with friends—and for many, to receive their only meal of the day, handed to them through the iron gates reflected in Cyrus’s eyes. This image also wraps-up my photo series on Kenya and culminates my #YearOfTravel. It’s funny, when you reach the end of something, you can’t help but look back at the beginning. I’ve always loved photography—inspired by @stevemccurryofficial @_annieleibovitz @anseladams & @dorothealange —I would rarely leave home without my little 35mm. Today, I continue to be captivated by staggering talent and powerful storytelling of photographers like @rehahn_photography @gregdavisphotography @anniegriffithsphotography @hannahreyesmorales @franslanting @lee_jeffries @dzalcman @nadavkander & @lisakristinephotography. The work of these artists largely inspired me to set-off across the globe in search of something more than my little corner of Texas. Along my journey, I discovered that as much as I love nature, I’m innately drawn to the beauty of broken people. We’re all human—we’re imperfect, resilient, fragile, and beautiful. Across the globe we are the same … and that leaves me hungry for more discovery. "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.” — Mark Twain #travel #inspire #change #seetheworld #people #portraits #mankind #journey #discovery #canon #africa #wanderlust #humanity_shots_ #reflection #eyes #human #beauty @partsunknowncnn @natgeotravel @afarmedia #liveboldly "One cannot resist the lure of Africa." -Rudyard Kipling . Ahh, Africa. The only thing that rivals the beauty and spirit of the African people is the raw beauty of the African landscape. . #africa #kenya #whyilovekenya #trees #nature #light #landscape #fieldsofgold #wander #explore #wanderlust #everydayafrica #ig_africa #beauty #travel #inspiration "We all live with the objective of being happy, our lives are all different and yet the same." - Anne Frank . These kids are amazing! What a delight to spend the day with these cuties at Lanana Primary School in Narok, Kenya. This Pre-K class welcomed me with laughter, smiles, and a lesson in the basics of Swahili! . #africa #kenya #narok #narokcounty #whyilovekeny #lanana #education #kids #children #happy #laughter #goodvibes #documentary #school @womenphotograph @everydayafrica #vscokenya #natgeoyourshot #everydayafrica #wander #explore #travel #discover #perspective #smile #attitude #bloomwhereyouareplanted "Seek the path that demands your whole being." - Rumi . A beautiful morning as the sun rises over Kenya. Walking back from the primary school, I encountered this young girl walking alone, late to class with tears in her eyes. No words were exchanged, I just reached out my arms and gave her a hug. . One step at a time today, friends. Even when the road is clogged with dust, hindered with potholes, and the weight of the world brings tears to your eyes ... have faith and press on. Like the citizens of Kenya, walk the road with your head held high. -Stand firm, and you will win life. Luke 21:19- . #africa #kenya #narok #whyilovekenya #african #girl #beauty #grace #bold #perserverance #nomad #wander #purpose #dust #dirt #morningmotivation #peace #inspire #dream #everydayafrica #vscokenya #documentary #natgeoyourshot @womenphotograph @everydayafrica @jeremiahsfamilyministry @africageo @natgeotravel @womenoffaith @lonelyplanet #lonelyplanet #lpfanphoto #iamatraveler #traveldeeper #womenwhoexplore @canoncnafrica #canoncna "The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." — Albert Einstein . A powerful image from the streets of Narok, Kenya. What would the world look like if we all gave just a little bit more? #worldphotoday . #africa #kenya #narok #streets #poverty #child #hunger #kid #help #hope #love #give #hungry #need #try #compassion #shalom #peace #humanrights #poor #humanitarian #giveback #worldphotographyday #travel #discover #documentary #change @natgeo @womenphotograph @compassion @jeremiahsfamilyministry @afarmedia @apnews @bbcafrica @everydayafrica #vscokenya "Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me.” - Sigmund Freud . It’s easy to miss it … a randomly placed, three-foot-high wall on the side of a busy road, hand drawn with tedious detail — a representation of the beautiful valley below and the creatures who traversed the land long before me. . #africa #kenya #whyilovekenya #art #mural #handdrawn #zebra #love #overlook #valley #beauty #intricate #landscape #wall #animals #wildlife #paintings #takemeback #artist #artistic #escape #travel #wander #explore #wanderlust #everydayafrica #ig_africa #roadside #story #poetry
