And if not, He is still good. Daniel 3:18

Today we laid to rest our tiny gladiator, Jack Holden. The service included just family and it was unique and beautiful. Almost all our family members participated in sharing letters, reading scripture, and praying. My sweet father, who is a pastor, led the service. We listened to the song “Good Good Father” by Chris Tomlin, which I hummed to Jack just about each day of his life and multiple times leading up to his passing. No one had done this before, but the cemetery gave us permission to shovel the dirt to bury baby Jack. With each shovel of dirt, I prayed and hoped for things for my child in eternity.

Even though we lost our miracle baby, I cannot for one moment be ungrateful for the days and sweet moments with him. They are the best gift we have ever received. I will never forget the look in his eyes, the strong grip of his hand, or the way he wiggled his toes that looked like my dad’s. I will never forget that my son came out of the womb fighting and gave it all he had. He shouldn’t have had to be so strong, but his mama is incredibly proud of his efforts.

It is interesting how you can be filled with a grateful heart and also be absolutely devastated simultaneously. It feels like breathing is hard, that I am carrying an extra hundred pounds of weight, and the pain in my chest hasn’t left for even a moment since he left. In the infinite pain of losing the child I have always dreamed of raising, I have hope. I have hope that I will see my child again and that motherhood in heaven will be sweet. I only have another 30-50 years to go and then I will have eternity to worship Jesus and love on my child. I imagine running in fields of wildflowers and cuddling in the grass and guessing the shapes of clouds. We may even hang out with animals that on earth would have eaten us. I don’t know, but I believe it will be magical.

Natraj and I continue to be blessed by your prayers and kindness. Thank you for loving our son. It means the world to us that Jack was seen and cared about.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”Matthew 14:19

Jack Holden, our beautiful miracle baby, went to be with Jesus around 1 am this morning.

The infection was too great for his tiny body. Although he was brave and really fought. Our tiny gladiator even surprised the doctors multiple times by hanging on for more time over the day.

We were able to hold his hands and talk to him and to sing to him for hours before he passed. I was able to tell him about Jesus and how He would take care of him until I could get there. Jesus loves him even more than I do and in heaven there is no more pain. I told him about how he has already made me a better person in his 11 days of life. How I would do all the years of treatments again just for the few days with him. I told him it is the honor of my life to be his mom. How there was nothing he could do or not do that could make us love him less, that his mere existence makes our hearts full to bursting with love.

Thankfully, his daddy and I were able to hold him in our arms as he passed. It was the most incredible feeling, his weight on my chest. I will never forget it. Our little boy was perfect and we already miss him. His little fingers gripping ours back, his piercing stare, the way he wiggled his toes in his sleep just like his daddy.

Even though he has passed, he is still a miracle. The obstacles he had to overcome just to be alive a few days were huge. We are SO profoundly grateful for the time we had with him and will love him forever.

Note from Natraj:
In his short time, Baby Jack allowed us to either meet the most amazing and kindest people or draw us closer to the beautiful people we already know. We thank you for your heartfelt prayers and kindness. We will never forget it.

A woman’s age is not measured in years but in the courage to reinvent, the joy to laugh deeply, and the audacity to live without apology. She’s not counting candles—she’s lighting fires.

Loved photographing Kay for the shoot for

I have been going through some old photos and found this one from 2009. This was about the time the dream awakened to be a full-time portrait photographer. I was too scared to say it aloud, but it was what I wanted. It is okay to want something in the quiet but work your tail off to make it reality. I am reminded of that quiet dream that stoked a flame that rages today.

I hope your day stokes the dreams of your heart. ♥️ 🔥

I know my day has. 🫶🏻

Over here we are mostly celebrating women and focused on making HER dreams come true, but some days men will call me and ask if I would document their stories too. Not going to lie, loved shooting this gentleman’s vision. Does he not have a look that gives Mad Men vibes?

MOTHERHOOD // I remember when this sweet mama was pregnant with this little guy. I remember when he was born and then was in the NICU for many many days. I had the honor of photographing their sweet family once they were able to bring him home. Now this perfect little angel is ONE years old! He makes friends just as easy as his incredible parents. Gosh, it is just so good to see this little boy healthy and happy! 😃 💙
