He was born during the thick of the lockdowns, swaddled in uncertainty, and raised through Zoom calls, window introductions and masks. And now — somehow — he’s sprinting across the school yard in this years third pair of outdoors and second pair of indoors, shouting facts about Ivy the cow, and collecting the playground rocks, like he owns the place.

My baby is graduating kindergarten and going to grade one. But I swear he was just four a second ago, being peeled off me, finger by finger. And now … grade one??

🥲😪

At the same time. I could not be more proud of him.

Sooooo let’s photograph the good!!

Meet me at the school Friday night! Kinder grad minis are taking place!

I am feeling a ton of feels today. And I am so lucky the universe told our house to stay home today.

You know what that means - endless cuddles and snackies Just what the soul needs. 💞

❄️❄️❄️

Also, hang in there everyone, today marks the 56789th snow day of the 2025/2026 school year - see how I chose to say that instead of 2026 as its own category .... 🙄🤣

Today I signed her name on a form. But this form is different from the rest. This form felt like I was somehow signing away a piece of my heart.

My baby is going to start school in September. And the paperwork has officially been signed and submitted.

I have had such an incredible time off being so close to her, having those extra cuddles, quiet moments and loud belly laughs.

What a gift this has been, truly.

I really am so excited to watch her step into this new world and to see her grow, learn and blossom in ways I can only imagine. - I know she is ready for this.

I will have to learn to love her in a new way that is a little farther away from me. My heart feels like it is breaking and blooming all at the same time. And I know this will pass and slowly it will get easier, as it did with Weston. I am just nowhere close or ready for this yet and for now, that is okay. I will hold space for this until I am ready.

2025 was the year that shaped me for the season of life I thought I was entering personally, but then six days before Christmas our family was hit with some really hard news - that unfortunately will only get harder. The kind of news that makes you hug everyone you know extra tight, because you never know if it is the very last. This has been a reminder of just how precious time, connection and togetherness truly are. Which is sort of ironic considering it is after all - The Holidays.

Our moments matter. The hugs, the laughter, the quite- in-between memories - they matter more than ever. And from the very beginning of my photography journey, my Mantra has always been very simple; to capture love - the real, honest beautiful love that lives within us.

I want to take a moment to thank everyone for their kindness and patience that I was lucky enough to receive this year. - because I received a TON! 💕 (and in the last few weeks from the ones who know, that is kindness like no other and my family is very appreciative, thank you!)

Happy New Years everyone, I am going to go cuddle my family extra hard with only two days left of this winter break!

xoxo

ps. Panda, when you read this, I want you to know how incredibly strong you are and have been through this. Your are an inspiration for your kids. Your dad is constantly proud of you. We all are. 💙🐼

This year will mark his FOURTH Christmas with my camera in my hand, going to a studio and taking photos for candy cane bribes.

And let me tell you, it's been paying off! He gave me pure gold yesterday! With little to no direction.
... Maeve on the other hand ... to be continued 🤣💕

It's crazy, I see this photo from 2023 and Maeve is currently his age in this photo and I look at these photos and it still feels like my sweet Bubba that is here today. A soul I feel like I have known my entire life.

Of course I cherish his sweet baby cheeks here in these photos, especially when I look over to her and see how much of a baby she really still is. But I still feel this warmth like our souls are connected, his and mine.

I love them so very much. 💕
