It's been a minute. Well, 25 weeks of minutes, to be exact. My last p o s t was right after I became a widow.⁠

Today is . Feels back a s s wards to need a holiday to remind everyone that we exist, that just because it's been a certain amount of time, I for sure haven't healed and "moved on" like anyone expects or wishes I would. But alas, it exists.⁠

I wanted you to know I'm still here, I'm still seeing everyone's posts and wondering how my fellow photographers can pick up their cameras. Mine has stayed in my bag since the birth turned c-section that was at the same hospital where I left my husband almost 6 months ago. ⁠

Would anyone miss my art? Yes, existential crisis is a continuous in my head. I've been contemplating my future as a photographer. Every time a family or birth worker told me they loved an image and it spoke to them, it's a joy that filled up my whole heart. But I just don't know if I know what that joy feels like in this post-cancer world.⁠

Ps. photos with just a mom because I couldn't even get my finger to select an image with a dad 💔

Libra babies, where you at?

My littlest just turned 2 and I'm pondering the traits. Symmetry and harmony? Toddlers are anything but harmonious 😅

Today is a ONE-derful reminder that this sweet mermaid babe was born at home a year ago to my bestie, who was in denial about being in labor. I stalked and hovered nearby (practically camped out) nearby because I wasn't fooled 😂

Do that thing to see how they have grown! And that red hair 😍

Doesn't it feel like a wonderful day to greet a new oo-man in the OR? 🫶

Apologies for my silence, not only are we living the cancer life, now I am isolated in my master bedroom with my c o v i d + toddler (a hell unlike any other 😆)

I am grieving the summer that was supposed to happen. There were plans for a big breast body chest feeding group shoot on a farm, and I was going to announce a new offering.

But alas, my mind and body are elsewhere. Thank you for flexible clients and families who are graciously rescheduling sessions ❤️

Here's to next year! 🤞

School supplies and back to school emails have started, and I AM NOT READY. Where the fork has this summer gone?! (Says the hermit spouse who has spent most of it in the OHSU cancer ward 🤪)

Ps. This bump is now a cute forking babe that I am all 🥰

Pps. found this crop top thrifting for like $5. Whaaaaaaaat

Hiiiiiii 👀 I'm still here, as quiet as I have been.

Josh is home after his second round of chemo and I have a few weeks to "breathe" before he heads back for a third. And this is our life until bone marrow transplant.

I'll be catching up on emails, editing, and I have a few feeding milestones to document soon ❤️

So much love for the dads I meet when I pick up my camera. There's love, protection, silliness, and so much more there.

Meeting 2 new dads this week, one celebrating his 1st Father's Day and another his 3rd, as well as on call for a home birth. Can't wait to see them do their thing ❤️

It's fun to peek into other people's worlds and see how they go about doing things 🎤
