Wild and Free
Sometimes I like to imagine that when babies are born, they are born wild. They are born without fear and without shame, they are here just as they are. They join us with all this love and passion untouched by what the world is...
Baby, You Will Always Have A Home In Us
Most often, home is found in the hearts of those whom we love. And you'll always have a home in ours. From the minute we heard of your coming, we carved it out for you. The moment you arrived and we met face to face, that space for you only began to grow inside of us...

7 Reminders To Keep You Present
Life is one of the greatest gifts and the future can be one of the biggest distractions from our today. Whether we are dreaming or worrying, if we let it, those things can steal from the moment that God has given us right here, right now. And in these now moments are treasure to be discovered.

A Letter To Our Daughters
You are beautiful. When you look in the mirror, let that be the first thing you see. As you grow, I pray that you'll put down anything you're using to define your worth and see yourself as you are; beautiful.
Why Gratitude Matters
There is something about gratitude that is transforming. There is something about gratitude that multiplies our hope. There is something about gratitude that shifts our perspective from ‘what we don’t have’ to what we do. It is almost like when we start saying what we are thankful for and when we start seeing the beauty in our lives, we can’t stop. Suddenly, it is everywhere we go.
Their Love For You
There are no words to describe their love for you, babe. There are no books that could contain it, no artist that could paint it, no song that could capture it. They loved you since the moment they knew about you and even in the years and moments before. They've loved you in every movement, every kick, every heartbeat.
Childhood Innocence
There is an innocence when you come face-to-face with a baby. You can see it like a song singing through their eyes. It is almost like a purity weaved through every single breath and every flutter of the eyelashes. It is almost like when we meet these little lives that become one of the greatest gifts we ever know, they come out as this brilliant and explosive light.
Why I Love Lifestyle Newborn Photography
True beauty is not found in the moments that are posed and forced. True and exhilarating beauty is found in the unbridled and raw moments. You know the ones; the laughter that comes from deep within, the look on your four-year-old as she asks you a question, the love found in your husband’s eyes.
