This all started because I wanted to document my own heart, every day.
I’m Kristyn, founder of The Documented Heart. I’m also a suburban farmer, a documentary photographer, a coach for womxn creatives and entrepreneurs, a lover of coffee and poems and good sourdough and slow cozy mornings, and a total homebody. I’m the momma of two wild little boys and wife to an amazingly patient midwestern gent. I use the pronouns she/her.
I launched The Documented Heart after I did my own 365 in 2018 and it changed my life. What started as a photography project that I helped walk 65 other creatives through turned into an exploration of the connections between our lives and our art through an evolving daily creative practice.
Since the first run in 2020, TDH has grown to support photographers at all stages of their creative journey. Four years into coaching over 200 other creatives through this practice, I’m still amazed at how much the discipline of showing up for daily creative work reveals for and within us.
Many thanks to my dear friend Taylor Lenci for documenting this backyard moment.
