Here’s to using this space to encourage, lift each other up, keep it real, and focus on what I can control. Like my morning coffee, walks with the family, and prompt 4:00pm HH, 7 days a week.

Who’s with me?

✨2019
A year of life.
A year of challenge.
A year of gratitude, joy, and beauty.
A year of loving my job.
A year of uncertainty.
A year of being a full time mom and running a full time business.
A year I’m very proud of.
A year of little sleep and lots of coffee.
A year I will never forget.
✨
I went a full year of not sharing any of my photography work outside of becoming a mother. These were just a few of the beautiful people that were part of my life for the past year and I love them all dearly.
✨
Here’s to working with more people I love in 2020, creating and sharing more work that gives me life, andddd to taking to new places. Stay tuned friends, big things are happening!

Last weekend I ran into my high school photography teacher while walking around the farmers market. She was one of my favorite teachers. Developing black and white film quickly became my first love and she was one of my biggest cheerleaders. Reconnecting was super special to me and I believe equally as lovely for her too. I thanked her for being a huge inspiration and catalyst in my photography career. She was super grateful for the acknowledgement and it now has me feeling very reflective on how many people have supported me in my 30 years of life.
✨
The number is uncountable but incredible to say the least. I believe we all wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for every human connection we’ve made in our life, whether it served us or not, became friends or went separate ways, fell in love or loved someone just because. It’s pretty incredible to think about. It truly takes an army.
✨
Here’s my note to being more conscious and verbally sharing with those in my life and around me, how grateful I am for their support and presence in this world. Hopefully this gives you a little light and inspiration to do the same.
✨
If you could personally thank someone today, who would it be? If you feel so inclined to comment below and tag them, please do, otherwise from me to you, thank YOU for being you and being a part of my journey. Shine on friends!

Snuggle, eat, sloth stories, repeat.

In my feelings today. Over tired, so in love, emotionally exhausted, happy, sad and everything else in between. Motherhood. So eating Nutella from the jar, drinking reheated coffee and dreaming about walks with Griff, and is what I’ll be doing. Because life.

Exactly our thoughts as our family celebrated 5 years since his diagnosis of brain cancer. 5 YEARS. He is a true inspiration, a blessing to us all and an honor to be Griffin’s namesake. My wish is that Griffin grows to know the true strength, wisdom, selflessness, love and heart that his Grandpa shared with this world.
✨
This is our life and I wouldn’t trade it for the anything. Yes to capturing all the real raw moments. Yes to all the love. @ Nokomis, Minneapolis

Our new normal has us all incredibly sleep deprived, confused on what day it is, drinking lots of cold coffee and completely and blissfully in love. These are the moments I will forever hold onto.

One week (and a day) with our sweet cheeks, Griffin.

Finding solace in the quiet moments. Not long before it’s you, me and babe.

It’s not the places you go, it’s the people you see them with.
▪️
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey you travel.
▪️
It’s not what’s in the past, it’s what can we do now.
▪️
It’s not what you do but who you are being.
▪️
Here’s to sharing more work that’s close to my heart and makes me feel alive. After spending some time with some of our best friends in California this past Fall, these photos are a true reminder of the precious life we are all graciously living and the people we have surrounding us. We love these two !

Unfortunately the are still rampaging the California land, very close to where we snapped these photos and watched the sun set and full moon rise. Although this is part of the journey, who can we all be in this time of desperate need? Check out my story for a handful of ways to support, send love, money and relief to those affected by the devastating fires. @ Malibu, California
