I don’t know about you all but my stress level is through the roof. The world feels so fragile. Trying to live normal life hasn’t been easy. Golly I don’t even know what normal is anymore. But this loss of normalcy has given me a new perspective of not caring about normal and has me drawn to only the real, genuine parts of life. And not trying to live normal has me craving creativity and action. I’m really excited to see where this takes my photography.

I had no idea how much feet would get shoved into my face as a mom. So when I captured a moment of a brother putting his foot in his sister’s face. It felt like magic. Also this family. Golly. ✨💕The beauty. The kindness, playfulness. I get overwhelmed (in the best way) by wanting to capture it aaaaaalll.

Dreamy light and a slew of photos. I’ve never been good at the “we need just one good photo.” 😬🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ (also fun fact my 3 favorite emojis)

Excuse me while I continue to dig through the archives to update my website. The next few weeks are going to be me sharing photos I haven’t had the time to share and now making the time. I’ve gotten to photograph this incredibly beautiful family several times and every time their beauty and love blows me away. Even though this photo session was a while ago I remember it so well. They scheduled the session when their son was in daycare so they could have some time with just their daughter. And it was a time filled with love and so so many sweet kisses to their girl. Now that I’ve become a mom I’ve gotten real emotional about newborn sessions…(I may have teared up at my last session this week. 😬. I kept it together though! I didn’t become a blubbering mess, I promise. ) I view newborn sessions as a love note to your child. As your kids flip through their newborn photos at any age they can see from the very beginning your love for them is and will always be painstakingly deep and true. By just being born. No accomplishments made Or beautiful mistakes. Even their personality or looks are completely unknown but love and joy was what they brought into your life even when you feel exhausted and not much left in the tank. The way parents look at their newborn is everything and there isn’t many times in life where everyone can just sit and love with their eyes and kisses and snuggles. Thank you for giving me this honor of helping you create this love note to your kids. Ok now I’m getting all emotional again. Sheesh.

Going through my past photo sessions to rework my website has me feeling all gushy. Meeting families getting invited into their home to create art, laugh and document who they are at that time in life feels so surreal. I couldn’t be more grateful.

I’m bringing back “THROWBACK THURSDAY “. Mainly because I have lots of photo sessions I haven’t shared and I could go on a whole monologue about how I’m terrible at promoting myself and on the struggle bus of consistency but turning a new leaf yada yada does it really matter let’s just focus on this incredible family!! This family. My oh my. They invited me to their sweet backyard that over flowed with peace love and joy. They introduced me to the Okee Dokee brothers and gave me the honor of photographing their intimate silly fun kind joyful overflowing love that they have as a family. I left their yard feeling like I do when I drink warm apple cider on a crisp fall day. Just damn good.

Ya’ll (👈that’s my West Virginia coming out of me.) I know nothing about golf. I helped out at a charity event driving a golf cart of beverages…turns out my laughter and driving skills are not appropriate for the golf course. However the golf class I took in college taught me I can chip 🤷‍♀️ like a pro…or maybe just like an average golfer😬 But spending time on the golf course with this senior. His love of the game was contagious. Watching him enjoy every single aspect of the game was the most beautiful thing to photograph. Being soaked up in his world with my camera was a gift. I’m so thankful for.

I remember the first newborn photo session I ever did…I called joe afterwards and said..”I don’t think I can take photos of newborns.” I felt like newborn photography had a certain style and my photos didn’t match up. I felt fearful and intimidated. But so glad I just kept going because I LOVE doing them! I love the real moments of being in a family’s home full of fresh love for their sweet babe. I love being able to get to know everyone as we take breaks for the babe to eat or have a little cry. I love documenting the real beauty of it all. ✨❤️
