Love & Strength

I don’t know about you but the last few weeks have left me drained…I am wiped. Between a torrential downpour of rain last week, a case of the sniffles in my house this week, the constant barrage of depressing news, and throw in bit of a lingering post holidays coma, and it makes me want to curl up and not want to come out for awhile. But…nothing make me looks at the world in a more positive way and hopeful that we can all come together for our future than witnessing a new little one’s first few days in the world (especially an extra precious one with a beautiful older sister.) 😉

These three ladies had my heart at hello. I have known their mom since high school and felt so honored to take their pictures at such an incredibly special time. However, with so much joy there is also heartache as she lost her husband to cancer after the birth of her first.  In a time when I think for anyone it would be hard to move forward, she created this precious gift and is fulfilling their wishes for growing their family.  She is inspiring, beautiful, strong, brave, and I can only hope to have even an ounce of her strength. They will grow up knowing how amazing their mom is, how wonderful their dad was and just how much they are loved. I know he is watching every day and is so incredibly proud. And thank you for giving me something so pure, so selfless, and so wonderful to cling to in this crazy crazy time…

Investing in family photos is so important and but what good are those photos if they live in the cloud or on a hard drive for all of eternity?

One of the best way to capture the essence of your family’s unique story is with heirloom art. Investing in timeless pieces from your photo session ensures that the beauty of your moments lives on for generations. 

You can transform memories into art, and let your family legacy adorn the walls and your home with love, laughter, and cherished connections.

Enjoyed an epic ski and super bowl weekend with good friends this weekend and it’s back in the office today. The best weekends always go far too quickly! 

And I am the only one who feels the Super Bowl hangover/tiredness even more on the Tuesday after vs the Monday? Just found out my kids have a two hour school “snow” delay 🤔☔️ but at least it means I have a slower roll out this morning.

You will find me curled up today editing two sweet newborn sessions and resting my VERY sore ski legs. 

Side note: Spring session inquiries and bookings are in full swing so if you are thinking about an outdoor spring family or maternity session or your pregnant and due this spring and want to get a session on my calendar, reach out soon for more details to ensure I still have availability. February and March are now completely booked but I still have some availability for mid to late April and a few spots still open in May and June. Follow the link in my profile to reach out. 🌷🌺
