Lately I’ve been thinking about how creativity actually works… It almost never thrives in unlimited freedom.
It seems to flourish with constraints

Personally, I don’t have endless hours in a quiet coffee shop dreaming things up. My creativity has to live inside my real, everyday life- full of its own limitations- whether that’s time, money, or energy.

Right now, creativity for me looks like

✨slowly decorating our home within a budget

✨making kombucha, sourdough, vinegar and
yogurt and experimenting with flavors

✨reworking my wardrobe and playing with styles for my postpartum body

✨listening to an audiobook while my hands are planting lettuces and peppers

✨Squeezing in a hiking adventure with the kids

I literally CAN NOT stifle my creativity… it’s an innate part of how God created me- but my limits shape and refine it.

And I see that same truth in photo sessions (especially in-home sessions).
I’m not just showing up and hoping for the best. A simple plan, a bit of inspiration, a few activities give it shape.

built-in limits

And then using what’s in front of me- the light, your space, your people and piecing it together like a puzzle, creating something honest + beautiful.

Sooooo, what does creativity look like in your real, everyday life right now?? (Idc if it’s unhinged or whatever 😂I’m just nosey about my fellow creatives!)

I am nearsighted. Like reallly nearsighted. I got glasses in 7th grade and the whole world looked suddenly clear, sharp and I was in awe.

The other day I was thinking about why close-up photos especially soft or even slightly out of focus ones feel so intimate to me.

I think maybe it’s because most of my intimate moments happen with my uncorrected eyes. Kissing my spouse. Feeding my baby in the middle of the night, it doesn’t have to be perfectly sharp to be beautiful.

Anyways… Poppy is a doll, especially up close🌸

I tell people all the time that there are sooo many good photographers in this area. Each one brings their own unique talents into the world and serves families in beautiful ways.

Your story already exists. We (photographers)are all just interpreters.

I interpret with my lens as a mother of 13 years, with a small baby in the mix. I notice things that are meaningful to me then and now, and I look to find that in your story.

It’s such a collaborative process WITH you. I’m so thankful for the kind families who have invited me into their homes, their favorite places, and their meaningful rhythms. You’ve told me in your own words, and shown me in real life, what matters most to you 🫶🏻

Me and my Poppy. If you can’t tell, I find her delightful 💗

This was my very first session back after having my little girl, Poppy, and I can already feel such a shift in the way I approach my work. There’s a softness and slowness that I want to carry with me into every session, a more empathetic, thoughtful way of seeing and capturing.

Melissa and her sweet boy were the perfect reminder of why I 💗 this work so much. She planned activities they enjoy together, in the cozy corners of their own home, and it was all just… perfect. Not because everything went “just right,” but because it was THEM.

In this season, I’ve taken on only a few sessions that really felt meaningful to me, those centered in homes, in families, in lifestyle and storytelling ways. It feels like such a gift to work this way, and I hope to carry that same intentionality with me into the new year when my calendar opens up a bit more. ✨

Okay mommas, have you heard of cuteness aggression? Because I think I have it with my newborn girl 😅 The cheeks…the leg rolls…the big bright eyes and fuzzy hair. I just want to squish her, breathe her in, and coo at her non-stop 💗

Just like I’m obsessed with my littles, I know you’ve got your own list of details you could gush about forever (hello, squishy cheeks and belly giggles 🥹).

In weddings and in life, you don’t have to do what’s “always been done.”
You get to choose your own something beautiful.
