wife | momma | picture taker | will travel for coffee + bagels
Booking 2020 + 2021 weddings!
We are getting ready to head out to Colorado in a We are getting ready to head out to Colorado in a few days to help shoot a wedding and it’s the longest I’ve ever been away from my kids and I’m feeling all the feels. I desperately need a break, but also miss them already. Why is motherhood so weird?! Side note: Any thing we MUST do or places to eat at in CO?!
There’s a line in one of my favorite songs that There’s a line in one of my favorite songs that goes, “Oh but all the wonders I have seen I will see a second time; from inside of the ages through your eyes”. And how true it is. To experience your childhood all over again through your children is something so magical and special that it makes me teary often. The first time to the beach, dance recitals, the first time scoring a goal, just a fun day in the sprinkler. I feel like I’m living my life all over again, but with a much wiser and more appreciative perspective towards it all. It’s true what they say, the days are long, but the years are short. It all seems so fast and slow at the same time. So many bittersweet feelings as they grow. Joy and sadness. Somehow they all coexist with one another. Just like they have for many years for moms. How lucky we are to experience life again.
I’ve been dreaming of filling this little corner I’ve been dreaming of filling this little corner in our bedroom since we moved here a few years ago. It’s been a spot for clean laundry to pile up on, random decorative pillows and more. But in a few months it will hold a sweet baby girl. A baby that has been prayed for by so many. A baby that our hearts anxiously wait for. A baby this is a true miracle and a sweet happy ending to our family of 5.
Reflecting a lot on motherhood and time lately. Ho Reflecting a lot on motherhood and time lately. How it always seems to go too fast, yet slow at the same time. It’s like I blinked and my babies are now little kids. Independent. Funny. Little adult like people. But then some days I blink and the clock has only passed a minute and I wonder if my house will ever be clean again or if I’ll ever be caught up on laundry. But just this week God is reminding me that, “these are the days” and truly I believe it. I prayed for a messy house and endless laundry. Baby giggles that make your heart explode. A million little shoes scattered throughout the house, never seeming to find the matching pair. Sleepless nights and mid afternoon naps. Sidewalk chalk and learning to ride a bike. Pool days and park play dates. Just writing this makes my heart long to savor the days more and more. To be more present. To work less and mom more. Society has made it tough to find a balance, but by the end of the year it’s my goal to find it. Because 2022 is going to be different. For the better 🤍
I realized I haven’t posted a wedding in awhile I realized I haven’t posted a wedding in awhile and just last night my second shooter and dear friend said, “you really need to show your work more” and I couldn’t think of a sweeter couple to share than Abigail + Julian. Their love for God and others was so evident yesterday I left feeling refreshed in my soul. Abigail just beams with kindness. One of her sister’s shared in her speech how when most friends leave friendships because they are in different stages of life, Abigail dives right in deeper. She shows up and loves them where they are at. She loves people and loves God and it truly is evident to all. Julian brings so much joy and laughter to those he’s around. The way he loves Abigail was so tender and sweet. They just go together in a way that was so effortless and I really just felt so honored to witness their love and commitment to one another yesterday. 🤍
I’ve never quite had a busy season like this. To I’ve never quite had a busy season like this. Today alone I shot 3 sessions and it should have been 4 but the the rain made me postpone the last one. My heart is so full being able to capture so many special milestones for families, but if I’m being vulnerable I’m also very tired. Our little mini vacation couldn’t come at a better time and I promise it will be so good for my soul I’ll come back refreshed + rejuvenated and ready to get back in the hustle. But for Wednesday-Saturday I’ll rest and be with my girls and hubby and just simply be. As always, I’m so grateful for you all and that I’m able to do what I love each day 🤍
