ABOUT ME
We may at times feel alone or out of place in this world. Just remember - there is one place we are all accepted just as we are - in nature.
If you live in the city or are lucky enough to live out in the country, take a moment to shut out the noise. Breath in the fresh air. Simply take in the world around you. You never know. You may be surprised with what you find; not out there, but deep within yourself.
“Photography was a secret passion of mine that I never let myself embrace or let others know about because I felt that I wasn't "allowed" to have that passion or that joy. If I followed my heart and my passion then I would never fit into the world around me. Well guess what? Not following my passion meant that I didn't fit into the world around me and I even lost track of who I was. I embrace the unique, the different and the broken because I am unique, different and broken. What I have found is that nature does the same and I try to show that in my photography.”
KAILEE CHURCHER, OWNER, FOUNDER NATURE'S REFLECTORIUM
Life is just a puzzle to piece together frame by frame.
I had a good life full of fun and adventure. There was also pain and suffering that I had to work through. Like so many others out there, I thought that I was the only one who faced trauma, pain, illness and injury. I thought I was the only one who felt like they didn't belong in this world. Art therapy showed me the way through my pain and helped me reconnect to the world around me. I discovered the world, and the people in it, are simply a big puzzle we are all trying to assemble every day.
Accepting myself, my joys and my passions, helped me notice the world around me. Noticing the world around me helped me recognize that I wasn't alone in what I was going through and feeling. This is my way of sharing myself and my journey with the world. My hope is that someone out there sees they too are not alone, can feel safe shutting out the noise, looking within to then shine their uniqueness on the rest of the world.
