At some point in a newborn session, I ask the parents to look at each other and say “what have we done?????”… this photo is the typical response.

My parents were first responders. My husband is a first responder. So today I hold space for the families on 9/11. The fear of the waiting, the grief, the time for healing and the pride and pains of the role. Taking time to remember the sacrifices of our first responders and their families !

Oh hey. I am Stephanie, the maker of this whole Sacred Spaces business situation. And PHEW, this year has been a doozy. From personal life drama to the world being a dumpster fire and now robots are going to rule the world. And I know that you all are in the same boat.

What do we do? How do we stop it? Is there hope?

This is what I remind myself and my kids:

“You do the best you can with the resources you have”

And sometimes that means turning off the screens and taking some time to sit with a neighbor and go for a walk.

That’s the point of this whole living thing. Connection, joy, creativity, laughter, grief, eating good food, and being.

Let’s not let “them” steal it from us.

In honor of my son’s 13th birthday, I am sharing 13 things I’ve learned about birth and babies and parenting. (In no particular order bc I just made these up on the fly)

1. You can do “all the right things” and still not get the birth you hoped for. Babies make their own way!
2. You can be happy your baby is healthy and still mourn the birth you wanted. Both things can be true. And you should take the time to process when you are ready.
3. HIRE A DOULA AND PHOTOGRAPHER. Literally my biggest regret for my births. I was cheap and thought I was fine on my own, but I think things would looked a lot differently if I had more support!! Also I am grateful for the above photos but they are low quality for sure!
4. Birth and babies are not math problems. A+B does not always = C. You cannot control the outcomes.
5. Give yourself some grace. Buckets.🪣 for every member of your family ready to dump when needed…but mainly for yourself.
6. YOU.DO.YOU.BOO!!!
7. Find a provider your trust!!!
8. Trust your intuition. Most of the time Dr. Google or chat GPT will just send you in a spiral. Ask a friend and trust yourself instead.
9. Postpartum anxiety and rage are real and we should be naming it and getting support.
10. Go to therapy before you have kids. And during. And after.
11. Don’t raise your kids based on the values of others (your extended family, friends, instagram influencers, coworkers). Find what YOUR values are and proceed accordingly.
12. “Do it together sometimes”. If you need groceries and your friend needs groceries, go together. Same with laundry and dinners and walks. Put yourself out there and make community bc you will be more sane with a buddy.
13. Do the best you can with the resources you have. Be kind to yourself. 💜

Just got back from our annual family trip to White Lake. My position as the Official WL Family Photographer means that I get to TAKE THE DANG PICTURE. And many of my family members will fuss, but the reality is, we can’t always wait for the perfect hair or perfect outfit or perfect (fill in the blank). So even if you are sweaty or your gut is out or it looks like you have dip in your pocket, who cares! Take the dang picture and share the dang picture and print the dang picture.
