Beyond documenting the ordinary, bath time sessions offer a canvas for crafting truly artistic imagery.

As the saying goes, "For when a child is born the mother also is born again.” (Gilbert Parker)

If you are a new mother or expecting a baby, you may be looking for connection, for answers and for community. It is out there and I encourage you to engage and find what you need! Although every mother’s experience is different, we are all on the same journey. We {as mothers} want to feel secure, loved and protected and we want the exact same for our babies. The gift of motherhood will bring you every extreme emotion and all the little feels in between, embrace them and share them with a friend. You are helping her in so many ways.

The pain that you’ve been feeling, can’t compare to the joy that’s coming. -Romans 8:18

I’ve taken a few minutes to think about this line from Romans 8:18 and how true this rings to motherhood. We are given such a gift with this role. It comes with hardship, pain, joy, love, laughter and everything both in between and on either side. Each experience is unique, each turn of events affects us each in a different way. In essence though, we are all on the same journey. Am I right?

Can you recall how you felt viewing your images for the first time when you opened up your gallery? I will bet it all you got tears in your eyes seeing the captured images of your most loved ones. Now imagine seeing them on a big screen, in your living room, with your loved ones. This is what I can do for you. This is your reveal session.

Even though beginnings are so rich with opportunity and possibility, they can also feel like a tremendous amount of pressure. But just because the calendar has flipped forward, it does not mean you’re suddenly required to become a brand-new person. Who you are right now is pretty amazing—exactly as you are. You don’t need a list of resolutions or goals for the year or even a word of the year to make the most of your 2020.

The truth is, I was made for this role and my daughter is my most perfect fit. She is who she is and I am who I am because of her. She was made for me and no other. She is mine, through and through. She is here to compliment me, and challenge me in the most annoyingly perfect ways.

Once I began to show the world only what I love to do, the people who resonated with that started to contact me. I would say that all of my hired work now centers around honest and intimate Motherhood. Whether clients are seeking a Maternity Session, a Newborn Session or a Family Session, the overarching theme in my work is Motherhood.  

I am sure motherhood does have days that are full of all the magical things we could dream of, the days when you feel fresh and beautiful and you can just float through the day without distraction or interruption. But let’s be real, I think I can count those times on maybe one finger.

My experience of coming home for the first time was like walking through a fierce storm that rushed through my life, breaking apart every thing I was once sure of and as soon as the chaos settled down, there were only just pieces of my previous life to pick up and build off of, to make better, and to enjoy differently.

Shadowbanning is defined as:  The act of blocking a user's content on social media sites, in such a way that the user doesn't know it's happening. If you're shadowbanned on Instagram, your content won't appear on anyone's feed unless they already follow you.

Beauty can be defined in many ways. I believe beauty is undeniable love, a strong sense of self. Beauty is patience and acceptance of those who surround you. It is caring for others. It is the ability to live life with the belief that there is always light in the time of darkness.
