Sharing the excitement!

It’s taken me a long time to get to where I am today.

The goal was never to be a photographer… Honestly, the goal was to become a mom!

After years and years of gentle pushes and loving nudges from my closest loved ones, I’ve gotten to this point.

A point where I’ve learned how to use a camera manually.
Where I’ve built websites and taken photos for book covers and brands.
A point to where I’ve created business cards and QR codes and have been able to update my equipment and support my sweet little family.

Being an entrepreneur is a mind game.

Some days I feel like I am the best photographer in the world whereas other days - I question why I even choose to pick up a camera…

For me, it’s the beauty in the fine details. The story that lies within those tiny little moments that I love to capture and be able to share.

I can’t help that it’s my gift so I’m gonna give it!

Being able to go to my kids school, stand in front of their classrooms and feel so proud of myself about all that I’ve learned and accomplished, on my own, feels really stinking good!!!

…and when I say on my own, I mean with the support of my friends and family! Without them holding my hands, I’m not sure I’d have taken so many big leaps!

Forever grateful!

Hope you have a great weekend! TTYL. Byeeeeee.

Just a girl trying to keep it together.

See, here’s the thing… when the kids were really little, my husband signed them up for sports. I looked at him in the eyes and said my plate is far too full. I cannot handle that at this time.

He did it all!

A few years later, I decided I could handle one activity. My daughter’s activity to be exact.

At first, we did dance. That was easy because we did it on Friday mornings when she was still in preschool and had Fridays off!

Fast forward to now. She wants to try soccer!
This means practice AND game schedules.

We can do it!
And we’ve done GREAT!

And then - today happens!

I sat with the feeling of failure for a few minutes. I had the biggest knot in my throat because I just wanted to scream and cry that I have gotten it wrong.

Then I remembered that… I’m only human. We all make mistakes. Perfection is not a thing.

I believe that everything in life happens for a reason, and there are lessons to be had. Today’s lesson was make sure you check the time and the date before making any changes.

I’m gonna do like Charlie Rocket 🚀 Winning Streak rocket says and stay on my

My husband called me just now to share - when they got there… Truet DARTED onto the field even though it wasn’t her turn. She almost scored TWO goals and was the fastest girl out there!

MY QUEEN! Killin the game!

At the end of the day, I’m gonna be grateful for lessons like this! And for a partner who gives me more grace than I could ever deserve!

K. Gotta go! TTYL!

WINNING STREAK!

Thank you to my beautiful friends, the ever so talented Brittney Bryson and her sister, Monica Elise Boyd for making my vision come to life!

I’ve never sent a client an “unfinished” project until this photoshoot! I had so many INSANE images to share with the girls… I HAD to send the unfinished gallery!

Oh, don’t you worry! There are many more marvelous images to add!
(I know. I know. My galleries are PACKED! It’s my process.. what can I say 🤷🏻‍♀️)

I was so inspired when another friend of mine asked me to take personality portraits of her kids! They turned out so stunning & adorable, I HAD to do more!
Luckily for me, my other girlies came through and let me play, yet again!

I couldn’t get enough!

Then, one morning, Brit and I were having coffee. I asked if she’d be willing to help me by being my model!! She mentioned her sister was coming into town! Maybe we could do a sister shoot!!!

HECK YES, GIRLIE!

Although she was locked in, she didn’t quite see the vision.. I reassured her that it would be PERFECT!

To say we had fun is to say the very least!

You know, photos are forever!
Not just for now!

I’m so grateful for the gift of photography.

You know, it’s funny… my love language is acts of service. Obviously God gave me this gift for a reason! I think it’s to be able to capture life’s most precious moments to give to you to cherish forever.

🙌🏻

K. Gotta get back to work!

Maybe one day, I’ll have an iPod and a tripod with an iPad filming us. Maybe even that an assistant!

Ayyyyyy

Until then, you’re just gonna have to book with me to see what the fun is all about!

Booking now! Link in bio!

K! Gotta go take pics! TTYL! Bye!

Oh! Excuse my type B side.

When I say I’ve tried it all when it comes to keeping a consistent exercise schedule, I mean… I’ve tried IT ALL!

I used to think success was waking up before the house, getting a workout in THEN starting my day…
I tried so stinking hard to reach that goal.
And guess what… I FAILED!
Over and over AND OVER again… I felt so let down by myself.

What a terrible feeling.

My wonderful counselor/therapist (whatever you want to call her) said, “what does it matter WHEN you get things done? As long as you do it eventually and keep trying…”

My homework was to NOT set my alarm.

Instead, the tool she gave me was to make my daily list of priorities and simply, check it off.

The WHEN didn’t always matter…

And Guess what - sometimes, I didn’t get to everything on the list. I quickly realized that the list wasn’t going anywhere.

The Bible tells us in Psalm 103:14 — “He remembers that we are dust.”

God knows we’re human. He knows we’re limited, imperfect, tired, emotional, and still growing.

Perfection was never the expectation.

Give yourself the same grace He gives you.

It wasn’t my season to be up early to exercise & it may NEVER be.

The point for me is to listen to my heart and remember that there’s no such thing as perfection.

That I’m just a girl.
A girl who will never not try!

Ok! That’s all for now!
Talk soon!
K. Bye.

THANKFULLY - my husband is basically a professional chef and would never let us go hungry.

When my kids were younger, I was so overwhelmed by literally, everything!
I was definitely in fight or flight. AKA SURVIVAL MODE!

I’ve never been a mom before.
I didn’t know what to expect.
I had NO CLUE what I was getting myself into!
And my Mom - DANG! She made it look really fun and easy!

I’m not complaining one bit. I’d give anything to go back to ‘the good ole days’. I am so grateful and beyond blessed to have what I do! That doesn’t mean it’s not overwhelming AF! Because - IT IS OVERWHELMING AF!

Therapy/counseling really helped get me through my hardest times, along with a touch of modern medicine.

I like to remind myself, it’s for now, not forever!

And look at us! WE OUT HERE!

Now - my kids are so in school and I’m free to do as I wish.
Sometimes, I’m rejoicing in the freedom…
Sometimes, I’m crying because I just want my little babies back.

The most awesome thing, you ask!.. if you believe is Jesus, he says, in Lamentations 3:22–23 — “His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.”

And let me TELL YOU! This girl right here LOVES a new day!

I’m probably never going to be a chef in this life and that’s fine with me! I’ll make my sourdough, plop the things on it, and be a happy little camper!
What I AM going to be grateful!
I’m gonna lean into what I’m good at and what makes me happy! Can’t worry too much about the other stuff!

Ok! Thanks for being here!
We’ll talk soon!
K. Bye.

Loving Mel Robbins guests lately! If you haven’t yet, go take a listen!
Gary Vay-Ner-Chuk - hopefully I’m one of the firsts to implement your advice! I have a feeling this is going to be my new favorite series!
I shall call it, ‘Shipootle I’m bad at!’

As always -
I am currently booking for fall! Be sure to snag your spot while I have availability!

Hope you’re having the best of days!

Oh! And!
P.S. random story time: back in the DAY when Gary Vay-Ner-Chuk was a w**e guy on YouTube, my older brother was obsessed with him. They actually met and had dinner before Gary was ‘Gary’, yanno?! Wild!

K! Ttyl. Bye.

Just a girl. Turned mom. Who added a photography business to her resume who wants to teach you basically everything that’s helped her become this version of herself!

Story time:
After my first baby, I learned what diastases recti was. I’d never heard of it before.

Google it!

After my second baby, I went to physical therapy to learn how to help myself heal.
THANK GOODNESS I found The Fit Pelvis Physical Therapy and Wellness! She helped my body though my 3rd pregnancy, unmedicated childbirth and beyond! So greatful for her!

Here we are, nearly 10 years later, still practicing and healing!

Notice in the video, as soon as I pull back from the counter, I stand stacked, immediately. My ribs naturally glide right over my pelvis.

This is important because you’re asking your deep core system to participate more: especially the transversus abdominis, along with the obliques, diaphragm, multifidus and pelvic floor. Those muscles coordinate to manage intra-abdominal pressure and support the abdominal wall.

Why does this matter? My goal wasn’t to simply ‘close the gap’ of my abdominal wall… I wanted to heal for longevity.

I’m only getting older over here!

Stacking your body away from the counter is A) stopping the counter from doing all YOUR work for you! And B) improving tension and load transfer through the linea alba (google it) and getting the abdominal wall to function well during everyday movement.

Anywhoozle - I hope this helps someone!

Go visit my page. Follow along. And book me for your next unforgettable photoshoot!

K. Ttyl. Bye.
