Photography From The Heart

Emily Guay

I began pursuing my Acorn Tales journey as I traveled along a winding trail of love, life, and adventure. My journey is filled with twists and turns and everyday I discover something new about myself in this process of growth and transformation. My symbol for growth is an acorn. A young seed on a journey of rebirth with the unlimited possibility of becoming a whole forest.  

I found my inspiration through being outside in the beautiful natural surroundings. I found plants, animals, trees, bodies of water and mountains inspiring and sending me deep into a creative pursuit. After spending some time in an herbal course in 2016, I was drawn to spending as much time outside as possible. I found that plants, animals, and anything that shows itself in our presence has a message for us in that moment. IF, we are open to receiving it. I found peace, love and guidance from my surroundings when life's unfolding ways didn't seem to make any sense.

I was pushed to pursue my creative talents in a way to capture what I was seeing and feeling and to share that message with others. I tend to do this in photographs. I enjoy photography, but I enjoy it in a way that tells a story. I capture moments that have some sort of meaning or message behind them.

I seem to end up on interesting and sometimes off the beaten path adventures. My journeys are always different, but I always find my way back to love and what is best for my heart.
