A lot of people have asked me about the name of my business, What it means, why I chose it, where it came from? There IS a story behind it, a beautiful, heartbreaking, personal story. Eos Photography. Eos is the Goddess of the Dawn. She is the mother of the winds and the stars. She opens up the gates of Heaven for the Sun to rise each morning. She is perpetually in love, and her heartbreak causes her to cry ceaselessly. Her tears are considered to have created the morning dew. She is often associated with sea harbors and ports.
When I started my photography business, I was in a difficult place. Emotionally, physically, spiritually. I was questioning and second guessing myself. My husband (then boyfriend) was deployed with the Navy. I had received a devastating medical diagnosis. I was working too hard at a job I didn't love. I was exhausted. I was broken. I was lost.
Eos literally chases away the darkness and makes way for the light.
Eos guides the ships safely into the harbor.
Eos opens up the heavens and scatters the stars.
Eos is love and light and gypsy and spirit embodied.
I started photography as a hobby. Something that I had always enjoyed doing...I found that it relaxed me, provided me with an escape, and allowed me a creative (and fairly inexpensive) outlet. I never expected it to save me.
I have come to learn that I am much like Eos. Wild, tempest, passionate, bright, white hot. Each day is a gift from Her...my spirit...to capture. While I may never be a morning person, or embrace the Dawn of my spirit....I can chase away my darknesses and evils, I can move the heavens for love, and I can nurture the winds of change. And, above all, I can do it each and every day.
So now you know. Eos is me. A promise. A new day. Love. Light. Change.
