SHE SAID I MADE HER CRY...

…AND THAT MADE MY DAY!

IT MIGHT SEEM STRANGE BUT NOTHING MAKES ME HAPPIER THAN SENDING OFF A COLLECTION TO A CLIENT WHO THEN RESPONDS WITH SOMETHING LIKE “OMG I’M TOTALLY CRYING RIGHT NOW!”

I’ve been in the exact situation myself. We had our family photos, and couldn’t wait to see them. I get the link from our photographer and upon opening the gallery I find myself in tears looking at photos of my family together. These are the people I love more than anything in the world. To be IN the photos with them, and for the photos to capture our love and the fun we have together was so overwhelming in the best way possible that I was brought to tears. It’s probably the strongest reaction I could have, so when a client tells me they are crying and they love their images, I couldn’t be any happier.

Today I’m especially glad my kids don’t have social media. Since when did St Patty’s day become a holiday we had to put effort into and get creative?? You wear green- or you get pinched. That’s the extent of it in my book. Lep

With every age/stage my kids are in I think to myself “This is my favorite age.” Then they grow a little, learn new things and then I love the new stage even more. ⁠ Lately I’m loving watching them be more independent. Yesterday my
Are you having fun at your family photo sessions? I've been making my family take professional photos since my kids were born- but the year we took these photos with @blairhartwelldesign was the first year we ALL had FUN.🎉 What changed? My mindset.

Can we talk about pregnancy old wives' tales? What struck true for you? I had horrible heart burn and while I didn't have bald babies, I wouldn't say they had a crazy amount of hair to warrant all the heart burn I had going on. Ok, your turn! What cr
The last 12 months have been full of the unexpected, don’t you agree? I never would have guessed there would be so much uncertainty and change to every-day things I took for granted- like my kids going to school in person!⁠⁠😔 ⁠⁠ While life [es
I. Will. Never. Take. Hugs. For. Granted. Again. Who is the best hugger you know? I once heard that long hugs release more oxytocin(the hormone that relaxes us). So I use that to torture my husband with really really long hugs. Like so long that he
