FREE. No joke. I’m looking for three people. Next Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Business owners. People that work with their hands. People that make beautiful things. I realized that taking photos for other creatives is something I miss so much. I’d love to gift some lifestyle headshots and documentation of your creative process. If you’re not sure if you qualify. Just ask! In order to do so, share one of these photos and tag me in your story. I’ll email you by Friday!

Life is so weird. When I opened up about mental health I received so much thankfulness from people for making them feel better about seeking help. So I am going to share some more health related things.

I have worked so hard on my body positivity this year where I stopped feeling guilty for living in my body I have. I stopped being scared to wear a crop top, or dress for what made me happy just because people didn’t think fat people should wear certain things. Then started having some issues a few months ago where it was clear I needed to find the problem. From there I was diagnosed with fatty liver. Apparently it’s NAFLD, because the irony is I don’t drink. Well it looks like the solution is that I need to eat better and lose weight so it doesn’t progress. They say 10%. No this is not just a doctor thing. It’s lots of research. This is what I have to do because no medication will fix it. I feel right back where I was a year ago with a negative self image and overthinking everything. We will always be a work in progress no matter how much progress we think we make. I’ve been heavier (besides when I lost weight to get pregnant) for most of my life so *just a reminder that not all fat people have health issues that makes them need to lose weight*

I’ve been to the beach twice this past week. I’ve had this strong feeling of being extremely grateful. I’ve come to a strong realization that there are people who go their lives and never see the ocean. Never step foot on the sand and feel it between their toes. I love San Diego. That is all.

*appreciation post* Here’s the thing. If you ever asked me at the start of photographing weddings 13 years ago that I would meet these amazing people and would be photographing them all, at some point over ten years, all over the country, I would have laughed. This group of humans opened my eyes to the world and the things we should be fighting for. They’re some of the smartest people you will ever meet and have more love for the people they encounter than some can ever imagine. I am so thankful for all of these beautiful souls.

We were watching Crater on and at the end they used the and it reminded me of when and I got to adventure Iceland in a van and stay our last night there. 10/10 hotel, highly recommend. Now we’re both at home with our babies. Oh how time changes.

Day 6️⃣ We start heading home tomorrow. Made some final explorations and souvenir purchases. I hung out at the lodge while tanner hiked to that stupidly tall rock I saw yesterday. Rory finally was happy on FaceTime 💕

Like a charmed hour and a haunted song and the angel of my dreams.

Got to create with my favorites last weekend. It felt perfect.

So the reason I started this challenge is because I needed to push myself to take more day to day photos but also experiment. But part of the pushing comes the fear of failure. What if I don’t like what I make. I took many pictures for last weeks “light” challenge. I hate every one due to flash errors or composition. I struggled with the idea of posting something imperfect and I’ve avoided it for a week. The truth is I just need to show up. Wether it’s perfect or not. The truth is they’re perfect moments. Rory drawing while I got ready in the morning, Cora being obsessed with locking herself in the pantry, Rory loving a flip phone that doesn’t even turn on. I won’t look back when they’re older and think, man I should have composed that better. All I will picture is their tiny bodies existing in the space with me. Perfectly.

Today is the first day of my weekly photo challenge. I knew I wanted to start with a self portrait because I need something to change. I needed to document my life how it’s been. How I’ve struggled so maybe by the time I do my next one in 364 days it’ll different. This year was really good and it was really hard.
•Last year was the year I was really open about mental health and it felt like everyone needed that. So the meds on my nightstand? We tried four different concoctions over the past year. None of which worked well for me. Here’s to this year being more beneficial.
•The clothes in the back on the chair? All things I love but can’t fit into. A memoir for my life.
•My peloton that while it’s not as bad as my chair, it’s still not used as often as it should be.
•Me. On my phone as usual. Struggling to be more present.
So here’s to a year of pushing and changing. In some way or another. Cheers if you’re joining in on this challenge. Post week 1 by next Saturday 💕 Tag me if you do. I’m excited to see everyone’s lives be a little less perfect and a bit more Instagram 2010.

Things Rory did great at Disneyland with: meeting characters, waiting in line, riding rides, eating snacks, walking around for hours without a stroller.
Things Rory did not do well with at Disneyland: asking to go back to the hotel every five minutes which then turned into wanting to go home all day.

Yet today she wanted to go back.

Happiest of Birthdays to . The only person that has met me naked in the middle of a forest, let me shoot her wedding nine months pregnant and document not one, but two babies. I like to think I’m pretty badass but she is top tier badass. Here’s to another year of honest motherhood, mental health and fire wife life. ✨🔥
