Today was a fun day full of getting to spend some time with a couple of "my kids".

First this afternoon kicked of with Korbin. Watching this kid grow has been a pleasure of mine. Our no crap relationship definitely hasn't changed since I left the school. 😂 Lots of laughs were had for this one.

My second afternoon session was Miss Marissa. Oh how I miss this girl! It was soooo much fun catching up on life this afternoon as we went spot to spot. I think she has MAYBE started to forgive me for "leaving her" as she put it.

Why an empty bucket?

It’s National Infertility Awareness Week for 2024. I know seeing all the beautiful newborns I share can be heartbreaking when you are waiting for a baby of your own. Even though my childless heartbreak isn’t due to fertility issues, I want you to know you are not alone, I am loving you, praying for you, and saving you a bucket. I know the sadness that can come from wanting something with every fiber of your being. I see you, and I’m here for you.

I also will never quit hoping for you… two years ago I made an empty bucket post, and promised to keep a bucket ready for a close friend. Just weeks ago I got to fulfill my promise for the second time. Please, don’t give up hope. I personally am here for you in the darkest of hours if you need a shoulder, but please, don’t give up hope. I will keep your buckets ready ❤️

Did you know that…
🌈1 in 8 women struggle with infertility
🌈1 in 4 experience loss
🌈1 in 160 pregnancies are affected by stillbirth?

This month I am joining with other newborn photographers as we all share our empty buckets in honor of you. This empty bucket symbolizes not only the emptiness women who experience infertility often feel, but it is also a symbol of hope for all those families still praying for their miracle baby.

The acronym PAIL also stands for Pregnancy After Infertility or Loss. When their miracle arrives, we will be here to celebrate with them!

Please join me in spreading awareness. Share your stories or encouragement below...or a simple or to let others know that they're not alone in their struggles. Feel free to share this photo to start a conversation. Just know, you are not alone.

ELFY!!!! He made a quick trip back on this foggy day to wish his mama Lydia Noëlle a Happy Birthday and stop in with all the Atlantic Animal Shelter goodies that were on his list that got purchased by his friends! TWO PHOTOS WORTH! (And some quality dog food that’s already in use ❤️) THANK YOU Atlantic for helping us spoil our shelter!

About a year and a half ago I called up Lydia Noëlle and said "I have an idea....can I borrow your kid?" She agreed without hesitation or asking further questions...(thats trust right there!) That day Elfy was "born". That first year took 3 sessions..we laughed until we cried, we got frustrated, struggled for ideas, and cried when it was over. It certainly brought us joy through the holiday season to watch Elfy take over Facebook. The texts, comments and shares always made us smile. We were both a little sad when that last photo posted.
In October this year my phone notified me of a snap from Lyd just like any other day. It read "I have an idea...don't kill me". I replied "ok, let's do it" (see that trust there?) She then informed me of her idea for Elfy becoming the , to not only spread holiday cheer, but to remind people of ALL of the wonderful small businesses Atlantic has to offer. Not that I needed convincing but, I was in. This year took 5 sessions, TONS of coordination, cooperation, bribery, and even a few tears from the elf himself. Even more laughter and memories were made. While we both have enjoyed this project and absolutely LOVED the comments, feedback and love that Elfy has received it is time to close this chapter for the last time. We want to thank each and every person that shared an idea, welcomed us into your business with no questions asked, shared Elfy's posts, and encouraged our complete chaos. We truly hope that if you were struggling through the holidays by just "going through the motions" that he gave you at least one thing to smile about. Once again, thank YOU Atlantic for being amazing.
Merry Christmas to all!
This is the signing off for the last time! We love you and will never forget the smiles and memories!
~ ❤️ Elfy, Lyd, Mal and Rudolph

"Remember Rudolph.... keep your eye to the sky and wave for Santa!" Elfy and Rudolph sure did enjoy their holiday season in beautiful downtown Atlantic. Thanks to the gals at Atlantic Area Chamber of Commerce for EVERYTHING they do to make Atlantic a real life Hallmark town and to the Street Department for helping keep Atlantic a bright spot during the holidays!!

(admit it... you thought we forgot 😉)
