Passion, Artistry, and Chaos: Capturing Life's Stories Through the Lens

My Name is Vivienne M.

Photography, for me, serves as a form of passport that grants access into the realm of accidental artistry, bridging the gap between military organization and the vivid theatricality of life. My husband's career in the military imbues my days with discipline and precision, while our daughter's passion for theatre adds an element of drama and flr to each moment.

It was this dynamic mix that left a void within me - a cup half full amidst adoring relationships but yearning for a personal quest. When I picked up my camera, I discovered a medium through which I could express the unique lens through which I viewed life's chaos and beauty, and often found myself laughing at the absurdity of it all.

My first camera was an old, quirky tool that lacked finesse, challenging me to coax focus without much patience. In its peculiar charm, photography became not just about capturing what's visible but also about unraveling hidden stories within seemingly ordinary scenes.

On weeks when culinary adventures unfold in our kitchen, turning it into a battlefield of flavor and presentation, my love for cooking finds resonance with my passion for photography. Perfection is overrated; it’s the imperfections that create the most memorable narratives.

I've upgraded to newer gear but have realized that photography transcs technology or technique. It's about seeing the world through curiosity and wonder - capturing beauty in the mundane, humor in mishaps, and the extraordinary every day.
