I’m the middle of 3 girls. I like to stir the pot 🤭
I want your kids at their wildest. If they show up to your session well-mannered and attentive as they do at school… I’ll snap a portrait, but then work hard to change that pretty darn quick.
You know those nights when it’s 10 minutes before bedtime, and they are still wrestling in the living room? When you’re chasing them down the hall to get them in PJs, and you sneak into the bathroom to do a little silent scream of overstimulation?
I want THAT.
Because that’s when parenthood is the hardest. It’s when we question if we’re doing anything right. If we accidentally raised feral beings by saying yes to the late night snack too many times… and when we question how we are going to make it another hour, desperate for our own heads to hit the pillow.
But it’s also when we smile the most. The snarky comments that are actually incredibly witty and beyond their age. The overtired dance moves that are extra wobbly, and the giggles that won’t end because the energy to stop them is completely gone.
And sometimes we forget about those moments because we are tired. And stressed. And society might call it a little too much.
My ultimate goal is to show you how you look to me, an outsider, as you are fully immersed in your own little world. It’s always wild. It’s always unpredictable. It’s always borderline against the rules. But it’s ALWAYS beautiful.
Is it risky? Of course it is! We might get tears because someone hugged too hard. Or someone lost the running race. But then there’s a pause. With hugs. And comfort. And the entire other side of parenthood when we remember how little they really are, and that by loving them through it all, you are definitely doing it right.
Am I doing it right? Probably not. I know I leave sessions having been a little too much. I send your kids home tired and salut you as you as grass stained knees and dirty little feet sing their way back to your vehicle. But I promise even though you might leave feeling tired, you will also feel SEEN, and LOVED, and CELEBRATED for who your family really is.
And if we do that, we’ve done it all ❤️
