The anticipation.
The deep breaths.
The quiet notes and loud smiles.

The moments almost always become memories before you even realize they are happening. 🤍

Minimal magic strikes again 😂⁠
⁠
Just a man on the side of the road in Africa absolutely committed to the bit.⁠
⁠
Still one of my favorite photos from the trip.⁠
Also… respectfully… the sign worked. ⁠

Truthfully, she probably has no idea how much this moment stayed with me.

There was something so beautiful about the way she saw herself.
Playful. Present. Completely herself.

A quiet reminder that joy doesn’t always arrive in grand moments.
Sometimes it’s found standing in front of a mirror, feeling beautiful, and asking for a Diet Coke. 🤍

The more time I spend in the in-between, the more I find myself drawn to things that feel real.

Not overdone.
Not performative.

Just honest moments, genuine love, and the kind of magic that doesn’t need to announce itself. 🤍

Green has always been my favorite color.⁠
⁠
Which is honestly kind of funny considering I can still hear the words “green giant” from fifth grade rattling around in my brain.⁠
⁠
The same year, a teacher stood me in front of the classroom next to someone half my size to explain how bodies grow differently.⁠
⁠
At the time, it felt horrifying.⁠
I wanted to disappear.⁠
⁠
But somewhere along the way, green became something beautiful to me anyway.⁠
⁠
Now it reminds me of growth.⁠
Roots.⁠
Life.⁠
Curiosity.⁠
Wildness.⁠
⁠
Funny how we spend half our lives relearning the things we were once taught to fear.⁠

Somewhere along the way, I stopped trying to make motherhood look untouched.

The older I get, the more I realize the moments people ache to remember are usually the ones between the planned shots.

The interruptions.
The movement.
The chaos.
The exhaustion.
The wrinkled blankets.
The in-between.

Because that’s what real life felt like.
Because that is what real life is.
And maybe that’s why my work has been shifting.
I used to feel like I needed to create perfection to create something beautiful. Now I believe beauty already exists in the honest moments we often overlook.

Nothing about this session was curated.
It was interrupted, unpredictable, emotional, loud, tender, and real.

And honestly… I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Maybe that’s what motherhood teaches us too.
That love rarely arrives perfectly packaged… but somehow still becomes the most beautiful thing we’ve ever seen.
