THE MOMENTS YOU CAN KEEP.
In the haze of bringing a new life into the world, our familiar shifts. Noises become louder, lights become brighter and your protection becomes stronger. As our sense of time can shift, as our nights and days blur, the moments you wish to bottle up are soaked in longing along with the chaos of navigating the newborn world. Taking a pause, inhaling and treasuring this time is one of my deep beliefs. The cusp of life, love and connection.. it’s everything.

THE FORM THAT IS YOU.

Pregnancy is a study in a quiet power.

Women continue to lead, create, work, nurture, and move through the demands of everyday life whilst, simultaneously, forming brains for tomorrow’s thoughts, growing lungs that will soon take their first breath, shaping hands that will be held.. building a human being with their own body.

Not fragile.
Not passive.
Extraordinary in its precision and strength.

It is living art. And it deserves to be captured with the reverence it holds.

LIGHT HACK..
So I did a thing….

WHEN MY 12 YEAR OLD CREATES MY REEL..
She nailed it!! Also- watch for one of my mini’s taking her very first step!!!
Charlotte loves to come and assist at the studio. As we were driving home today, she said that she loved that she could learn along side me, help other families, work on her social skills and just be with me. If that isn’t the most beautiful, accidental mother’s day gift, I don’t know what is!! So, to all the families that came in this weekend, thank YOU for inadvertently gifting me my Mother’s Day gift early!!! Also, for making my Smoosh (Charlotte) feel so valued and appreciated.. all of you were a part of making my heart explode today.
Charlotte was so excited to see yesterday’s reel, that I handed over the creative reigns today and asked her to produce her own reel.. how did she go?!? As a first time, BTS producer.. I think she did incredibly well (ummm hello 80’s soundtrack, you lil hipster!). FYI she has zero exposure to social media, doesn’t have an account or really cares about the social-sphere that you can’t live in real life. Today, I have benefited from her fresh take on socials.. and I love it. (proud Mama will be quiet now!!).

Every family has its own rhythm, its own unique balance and flair.
The most iconic images happen when you lean into your story - your connection, your own flavours, your love - just as it is.

That’s where the beauty lives ✨

So small. So new. So deeply loved.

These fleeting first days hold a kind of magic you can’t recreate - only remember 🤍

There js a quiet language here…
one that doesn’t need words.

The gentle rise and fall of breath,
the way they instinctively find you,
the softness of being held, of being known.

This is where love begins - not loud or grand,
but slow, steady, and impossibly deep.

Tiny, perfect, and already everything.
