the light in you is all i see
the light in you is all i see
The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another.
-James Baldwin
oh hi, i'm amy mcmullen,
a picture maker and
story-shaker
i help people tell their truest stories
and rewrite the ones that hinder them.
as i’m nearing an entire half century on this spinning precious mess, it seems my work in the world is story work.
i believe knowing each other’s stories is how we make sense of each other, how we find empathy- we can always find some piece of ourselves in a stranger- something that connects us, lest we forget we are knitted together.
in my portraiture work, my intention is to see a little extra into who you are or what you’re trying to say as we shoot; i come with curiosity, a dorky streak that keeps things light, and a tenacious desire to reflect back to you how dope you are. to tell your story with both reverence and joy.
in my facilitation work, i lead co-working groups, workshops and soon again, 3-day retreats for folks looking to un-learn old narratives we were told about ourselves and bought into for too long, and reflect back your more essential self. we RE-story, thank you very much. we don't have to believe what we’re told about ourselves.
