How many hours, how many tubes of paint, how many spills? How much dedication, discipline and sacrifice? I don’t know the totals, but I know I am excited to celebrate Cosette’s hard work on October the 6th. To find out more, to help sponsor the event, and to rsvp to this free event click on the link in my bio.

Before there was 5 kids, and a farm full of animals, it was them. #upandawaystudios

One thing that we’ve always hoped through Cosette’s Art journey is that we would inspire others to also want to give back. Well it’s happening. It’s been heartwarming to see Lewis get so excited to want to help too. We have several of Lewis paintings up around the house and I wasn’t planning on selling them, they are special to me. He has other plans though. He wants to sell all his art so he can help with Cosette’s plan. I’m so proud of him. Also I legit love this piece, it’s hard to see the luminance of the gold, I will be sad to see it go.#lewisandcoz #paintingswithapurpose

One frame from tonight. It is such a privilege to help families document these precious moments in time. I’m becoming more nostalgic and emotional every day, believing in the stories I am capturing, the love that I share. #upandawaystudios

Through the years I have taken so many photos of her painting. As I am compiling a book and a video of her journey, it’s so much fun to look through all these photos. Look at her little toddler hands here. 😍 she was 5 years old here. #paintingswithapurpose #cosetteandfriends #cosetteart #charitywater #firstmiracle

The incredible @samorneart sent us this stunning piece all the way from Nashville. This will be available at the auction on October 6th. I could honestly cry it’s so beautiful. Sam from the bottom of my heart, Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️ I know we want to start the bid on this one. #cosetteandfriends #paintingswithapurpose #charitywater

Fingers crossed I get this session finished this week. 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐑🐑🐑🐑🐐🐎🐎👶👧🧒👱‍♀️👱‍♀️❤️#upandawaystudios

Here she is at 3 and a half,where it all began. Little girl, big heart.
The gallery show is a little under three weeks and I’m kind of freaking out with all I have to get done. But all good things are worth fighting for. I just really hope people will show up. I’d you are planning on attending we’d love to know. Maybe leave me a comment below? Invite you friends!!! It’s for a good cause and it’s free! I am prioritizing gallery planning this week, maybe it’s for the best that a bunch of my shoots are postponed due to weather. Here’s hoping I can pull this off 🤦‍♀️😬 And in case you don’t know what I’m talking about, we are hosting a gallery show called “Cosette and friends” on October 6 from 6-930. #paintingswithapurpose #cosetteart #cosetteandfriends #charitywater #changetheworld

Intimate backyard weddings ❤️ #upandawaystudios

From a few nights ago. September and October are typically my busiest months. This year is the most intensely booked up fall. I’m grateful, anxious and exhausted. But mostly grateful. But also a lot tired 🤷‍♀️ Things that are helping me cope right now? Audiobooks, blankets, community and preschool @paintedwombatyyc @wymbin What helps you survive your hectic seasons?
