Oye! It has been a good week, but chaotic and rough too. Tulip Time, parades, birthdays... and on my little girl's birthday she got her front two teeth knocked out (thankfully baby teeth). And then my son had his tonsils removed!

I have to say this. I was 33 when I had my first child. I lived 33 years without realizing the beauty of this incredible mom community. The love we have for our children and for each other. The community we find in the loss of self during the early years, and again as our kids grow into their independence. The community in the joys and the celebrations too.

When E lost her teeth, no less than 5 of her friends' moms reached out to check on us during Tulip Time. And when W had his surgery, the moms in his class showed up with so much love, support, and encouragement for everything this season is bringing.

Guys. Over the years, I have loved you, watched you, and celebrated you and our kids as we drive from one season into the next. I had no idea we could love this hard, be driven this crazy, and yet when I feel lost, all I have to do is reach out to a fellow mama, friend or not, and compassion and companionship show up, often with a meal, flowers, a coffee date, a playdate, or more.

So, a few days after Mother's Day, I want to shout you all out. Thank you for loving so hard and so well, even when we are losing our minds. Thank you for your transparency, your love, and this community. Thank you for loving my kids enough to check in, support them, and cheer them on, too.

And thank you for loving me so well, too. I am not always consistent in responding as I chase this dream of photography and intentional time with my family, but know that my heart's desire is connection and community. So please reach out, invite me to coffee, a walk, or a playdate. I love it all and appreciate each of you more than you will ever know.

I have a story to tell. Get to know a little bit more about me.

Alright friends!

I want to share something I've been pouring my heart into: The Freedom to Thrive Collective.

You've been seeing teasers, but WHAT is it? Let me tell you!

Freedom to Thrive is a portrait experience and public gallery exhibition for women who have walked through the fire and are stepping into what comes next. The single mom who kept the whole family afloat. The entrepreneur who rebuilt from scratch. The woman who has given everything to everyone else and is finally ready to do something just for herself.

If that's you, this is your invitation.

Here's what's included:

- A relaxed intro session with me where we discuss how to make you feel at home in front of the camera
- A personal style and concept consultation to plan every detail of your shoot
Professional hair and makeup on the day of your session
- A fully guided, carefree photo shoot in our stunning Des Moines studio
- A custom framed wall portrait; your story, your strength, on your wall forever
- One completely unique experience where you show up and shine

Every woman's portrait and story will be featured in a public gallery exhibition on September 19, 2026, right here in Des Moines, think champagne, live music, and a room full of women celebrating what it means to rise.

Only 25 spots, with 17 remaining.

You have carried so much. You are a masterpiece. And I cannot wait to show you.

Seeing yourself for the first time, with permission to look differently. It's like a breath of fresh air after holding it for too long.

It's relief. It's emotional. It's full of pride and grace and hope and joy.

It's freedom.

That's what 8 women have already said yes to.

17 spots remain. Send me a message and let's get you signed up.
