Preserving life's most precious memories and creating beautiful ima

Ohhhh my goodness, I'm just here because I can't resist posting these photos of our beloved Morgan, who's been our babysitter since before she turned 13, just before the twins were born.... Now she's 18 and off to Boise State!

Our hearts would be breaking over the distance, if we weren't so happy for you!!! ❤️ 🎓💐

Finishing off 2023 with the greatest delight of documenting a new baby!

Diana and I become friends while I was teaching evening fitness classes, years before we each had our own first child. So, it was a complete honor to the capture the memories of a third new baby. 👶🏻💙 Love you guys !!

Hiii!!! Can you believe I’m actually updating this page?! 😄🤪

Sometime last year, as I watched my little babies rapidly morph into tiny toddlers, something in me clicked. 👌🏻📸

Despite wanting to create and challenge myself, I suddenly wanted time with my girls more. And so, I freed myself of the pull to offer this service to others, for the time-being. Let’s face it, being a great mom is an on-going challenge in its own right. 🙌🏻

BUT, every now and then, someone special asks me to assist in documenting a special memory, and I can’t say no.

Meet Faith, one of our girls’ favorite, totally sweet+fun babysitters, graduating from ASU. Congratulations, Faith! We love you! ❤️

Just over here, enjoying some Sleepy Summer Mornings.

Myla's been in the pool, playing hard every day....and so she falls asleep hard, and stays in bed nice and late...Remember those days? 😃

Happy 2nd Birthday to this little DARLING! 🎂🎈✌🏻

I can't believe that over two years ago, I took this first photo of her on the day she was born. Where does time go......Mamas, hold on to those babies.❤️

Diana Guirado, thank you for always trusting me with your precious babies.

I 💕LOVE💕being around pregnant mamas and new mamas! I am just so fascinated by everyone's unique pregnancy, delivery, and post-partum journey, I know I was meant to find my way to the genre. ✨📸

If there's anything I can to do encourage, support, assist a fellow mama-bear, I'll do it. ✋🏻🤰🏼👶🏻

So happy to be able to meet this fellow twin-mama, and to capture these crazy, tiring, amazing, fleeting moments, for her and her family. ❤️ Plus, all the feels, bringing me back to earlier this year: a sweet, little 3yr-old-girl; two new, tiny humans; and a pandemic.

❣️Announcement -Let Me Explain. ❣️

I've officially decided that I don't have capacity to offer family sessions this fall. I'll still take on inquiries for newborn and birth sessions, and "special occasion announcement", because these are literally "once-in-a-lifetime" photos for families, and this genre has stolen heart. 💘

Though I lovvvvve fall family sessions and I've been studying and preparing for them all year, the time I have to: coordinate, shoot, edit, distribute is much less than I had anticipated it would be with two 6 month old babies, and Myla. As much as it killlllllllls me to say 'No' to families, I'm thinking about how I'm actually saying "Yes".

You see, making this decision was a difficult one. It feels like I'm saying 'No'; "No" to not only families who trust me to capture beautiful photos and special moments, but also "No" to myself. It feels like I'm saying "No" to my photography goals. And let's face it, it sucks say No. To others, and to yourself.

But really, I'm saying "Yes". ✨💪🏻. I'm saying "Yes" to my and yes my . Because there's so many hours in a day. Because my babies need me and they're only little once. Because sleep and taking care of myself is important too. I'm saying "Yes" because balance is important, because I have lots of goals in life, and because there is time in life to work all of them. Aaaand, there's a way to meet in the middle. 😊( ❣️)

Because when you say NO to one thing, you say YES to something else.

So, to my families who have reached out, or who may have been planning on doing-so, I'm really sorry not be a part of your memories this year.....I'm trying to be present within my own. ✨.

I hope to be a part of them next year! And maybe, as your family welcomes or announces little ones in the future, I'll be a part of those memories even sooner. 💖

🙏🏻Thank you 🙏🏻 for understanding that I have my hands full this year.
(So full that I haven't even had the chance to sit down and go through photos of my own family---for the last TWO months! 📆)

Am I alone in this dilemma? When do you have a hard time saying "No"? If you said "No", what would you be simultaneously saying "Yes" to? 🤔

One thing I've loved about a chosen profession in health & wellness is that it's allowed me to make life-long friends, friends who dream big and want to make the most of their lives, their relationships, and their service to others.

The thing is, there's endless science that supports that fitness allows for, and enhances the ability for one to become the best version of herself, through percerverence, persistance, and the altererd 🧠brain chemistry that accompanies these behaviors and traits. A 🏃🏼‍♀️movement routine👟 literally makes us more capable of adaptation to stress, to connect with others, and to percevere through hard times.🧠📚💪🏼

Maybe that's why I still feel so connected to girls I ran with in high school (whom I haven't even SPOKEN to in years!), maybe that's why I've never given up on my passion for teaching group exercise (despite how many better paying jobs I've held 😅), and maybe that's why I've made life-long friends, starting in college, as I established my career goals in health and wellness.

I started working with this amazing girl..... maybe almost 10 yrs ago...time goes too quickly ; it's got to be close to that🤷🏼‍♀️🤣. I've seen her move through life's ups and downs, always to land on her feet, with a smile on her face and a caring heart on her sleeve. I dont have to ask her to know that fitness and her career helps her to maintain her forward-stepping-stride. Because that's what fitness does.

I love that health and fitness professionals care deeply for others, strive for complete fulfillment, and have walked the walk of struggle to overcome and lead by example..... I'm so lucky to be surrounded by them. ❤️

If I could magically make more photos from my own childhood appear, it would be ones just like these.

They would include my parents, and how they marveled at my tiny size and studied me in wonderment. 👪

They would include the soft touch, all moms have for their newborns🤱, and the pride all new dads hold, for the tiny little human, grown from their own DNA. 🌿🌻

They would include all the details of my first bedroom: the light, the colors, and the little creatures that visited in curiosity and protectiveness. 🐶

They would include me in my natural element and all the depth and details of my face, which would quickly change, never to be so tiny again. 👼

They would include my parents so that I’d always know what they looked like when I was born. But also, because they too will change drastically and age over the years.🕰️

They would include what real life looked like in my own home, when I was first brought home, and they would capture the energy of that home--the peace, the quiet, the excitement.... because it’s the only way I would know.....because humans aren’t capable of recalling times from their own newborn experience, on their own. 🧠🙇‍♀️📸. And, babies are too young to remember the youth and the love in their parents’ faces. ❤️👼💘

If I had to choose between having professional photos of just me as a baby in a cute outfit, or photos like these, with all the details, I would choose these in a second. ✨

And for this reason, I always feel so SO honored and so SO lucky to be able to deliver these photos to my friends and clients. 💘

Finishing up this “First Birthday Session” and feeling a little nostalgic, knowing that by next year, baby Colton, will have lost most of his 👼“baby-ness”👼, as he's about to become a toddler👣. His sweet, fun parents will look back and feel as though the time went at warp speed. 💫⚡️💫

*

And they'll wish for it back.

*

Right behind Colton are my own two babies.

*

They’ll lose those marshmallow thighs, chubby ankles, and round waists. They’ll lose those sweet, soft, full cheeks. They’ll lose their sweet baby-expressions, and the coos and sounds we’ll turn into words. They’ll grow before our eyes. 👀✨

*

My reminder to cherish the moments.🙏 ❤️Their gone in a minute.

*

Authentic✨ Emotional💕 Fun🤸🏻‍♀️
