It's about time.

September 14, 2015 in family, personal

The amount of times I have thought to blog over the last 4 (almost 5) years is ridiculous. But did I do it? No. I knew that when I did blog, I had to be serious about it. Serious enough to know that I would keep it up. No more posting every few years. And not just serious about blogging, but about upping the game with my whole business. Well I think the time is now. Cosette started Kindergarten this fall and Lewis (who did not exist the last time I blogged) is almost (fingers crossed) done teething... so I am hoping I can do this. I have been an artist, and a photographer for many years, but my focus and passions within those genres have evolved and changed through the years. I hope to be able to better showcase  my talents in this new space, and create beautiful new memories with you, I hope you might give me the chance to create something you will cherish forever. I will keep this post short because basically it's just here to say, I'm here. See that above photograph? Thats my precious family and the photo is curtesy of the ever talented David Guenther

When I asked my clients if there were anything specific they wanted captured in their session, they said “JOY”, as it was “Do not ask your children to strive for extraordinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is a way of foolishness. Help them instead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting tomatoes, apple As a child, I always felt different, as I’m sure most kids do. I was introverted, sensitive, and definitely quirky.  There was a quiet rebel in me that didn’t want to be like everyone else.  I liked myself and for the most part was ok bei There is beauty in discovery that deeply satisfies us. When you discover something new about yourself, you become more grounded and free. It is delightful when you find out more of your hidden light, when the radiance inside you glimmers through in n On a lovely (and very hot day) in August I got to spend some time with this special family. The whole drive there I was listening to music that stirs me and repeating Namaste in my head over and over. “May the light in me see the light in you&r
This is your friendly reminder to run your life at your own souls pace. 

I’ve sat for many months rarely sharing on Instagram and trying to figure out how I want to use my voice again. For the most part I was happy to just not worry about post
