Find yourself a man who knows what is important to you.

It would have been easy to let their child be taken away to scream and cry in a quiet place. But it’s not much harder to be the comfort for your son. Drew and Kayla had a magnificent ceremony and little dude didn’t miss any of it thanks to his wonderful parents. A beautiful message of how this family supports one another and always wants to include them in their lives, no matter how “challenging”, “unconventional” or how much strength you have left in your arm lol.

This was one of my first weddings back after becoming a mother, myself. It’s set an example to me for what family is and I’m so proud to have witnessed and captured this amazing moment.

Although I don’t share tiny humans on social media, please know that little dude did in fact give the most adorable mean mug in image two, just use your 🌈imagination🌈.

Oh to be a frog in the comforting hands of the couple that runs Cold Blooded Parties

Sorry if reptiles aren’t your thing. This love language isn’t for everyone, but I think little 🐸Jabba🐸, here, is so cute.

365 days ago I became a mom.

It’s changed me in every way, including as a photographer. I have always cared about and wanted to protect your babies but it’s just… different now.

Happy birthday to my little guy.

This is your sign to wake up early for the sunrise session. Especially if there is a popular location involved.

The only other people were maintenance workers, and super chill people doing yoga. None of them were disturbed by us and vice versa.

P.S. that’s my newest niece growing in that adorable baby bump!

Posting to social media is important
Trying to break a social media addition is important.
I’m not really succeeding with either but my friends Frannie Battaglia & Jeremy Henderson are cute.

This year was special, I was fortunate to spend a 3 day weekend celebrating my husband’s first Father’s Day. I forgot to post until bedtime.

Happy Father’s Day to all the greatest dads. I’m so lucky to have such wonderful, strong, empathetic, creative, inspiring fathers in my life. Sorry I didn’t text any of you.

I learned something about myself
& I wish I thought like this before I got married.

I’ve always known I was a people pleaser, but I didn’t realize how much of my life I was giving away to others “happiness” I still act with compassion and always want to be conscious of others feelings, but when I am making a hard choice, I have paused and asked myself “is this hard because of the expectations I am imagining from others”
Am I painting my house because I think other people will like it, or because I want to live in a painted home?
Did I select the right person for the job because it wouldn’t hurt their feelings or because they’re most qualified?
And so on …

I wonder how much of my wedding I planned for others and how much I paused and chose for what my partner and I really wanted. Think about the hard decisions while you’re planning and step back to see if it’s hard for YOU or hard for others opinions of you, it may take the weight off your shoulders.
