A photo session often transcends mere images; it’s a unique opportunity to capture moments of authenticity and beauty, where individuals can truly feel special. The environment is typically crafted to evoke joy and confidence, allowing everyone involved to step outside their daily routines.

During these sessions, the focus shifts to the individual, celebrating their unique essence. Whether it’s the gentle touch of natural light highlighting a smile or the laughter shared between friends, these moments create a tangible sense of connection and self-affirmation.

Everyone, at some point, yearns to feel seen and valued. A photo session, even if just for a brief period, can fulfill this desire. It’s a reminder that we are worthy of celebration, deserving of attention, and capable of radiating beauty. In those captured moments, we find the power of self-expression, a fleeting escape from the ordinary, and an affirmation of our own significance in the world.

Ultimately, these moments serve as a beautiful reminder: we all seek to feel special, even if just for a moment, and photography allows us to encapsulate that feeling forever. A moment to connect and a moment to feel special.

They’re happily ever after.
Reason to celebrate or at least suppose to be. We hold our sons hands in hopes one day they will find the hand that fits just right with theirs.  The one that is meant to take their hand when the time is right for you to let go.  What no one tells you is that sometimes the moments you dream of don’t always flow as perfectly as you imagine.  As much as their perfect day is filled with love and happiness a mother of a son’s day is filled with so much more.  It’s a roller coaster of feelings and emotions. Highs and lows.  Sadness and joy all because we love.  Mom suddenly becomes hyphenated and You are now a Mother-of-the groom quickly to become a mother-in-law.
Times I wish I were at my best sadly and with much regret were my worst.   Moments that should have been seen thru smiles and laughter were seen thru silent tears and sadness.  Moments that should be felt with pride became shadowed in shame.  Through fear of losing I was unable to embrace all that I was gaining.  I became a square peg trying to squeeze into a round hole consumed by the not knowing where I would fit, lost and unsure of where I belonged in this new chapter. Instead of focusing on my son’s happiness I got tangled in what I now recognize as grief.   I am grateful that both of my sons were bubble wrapped in love on their special days, filled with beauty and joy. That the only happiness lost was mine, and the only sadness felt was within me.  A moment in time I can’t change, take back or re-do.  Moments in time I will mourn because I allowed my sadness to steal my joy.  Moments I hope my sons could feel my heart where maybe all they could see were tears.  I may not have shown up the way my sons would have liked. No special moments between mother and son. Just a silent I love you as I let their hands go. There is no perfect just my imperfect moments and finding my joy in their finding their Happily Ever After and the hands that fit so perfectly in theirs. 💕

Sometimes in the middle of ordinary life hands you a moment of extra-ordinary. A moment of pure joy. Where laughter is heard and felt. A moment to get lost in the magic. Before this day the 3 of us had never met, a quick text a short phone call and a magical place . .mp thank you for taking a chance on a photog you didn’t know and for trusting me to capture a special day and the special bond you share with your rockstar little cuz-ister (not sure if there is such a thing but there should be) I am so grateful to be a hop skip and a jump away from Miss Millie’s and it was truly a pleasure to meet the both of you and share in your contagious laughter. 💕

This is your reminder — alone is not synonymous with not good enough. Alone is not a weakness, it is not something to be ashamed of. No, alone is a gift. It is a foundation, a steady ground within yourself that will be there whether or not you sleep beside the tired bones of another human being. Alone is knowledge, in yourself and your hopes. Alone is a ruthless dedication to understanding your heart and fighting for what compels it after years of allowing for it to be loved in halves. Alone is not lonely. Alone is not broken. Alone is anchoring, a healing — a reminder that the love you find within yourself will be yours forever, a reminder that you have the capacity to be your own home.

— Bianca Sparacino
A Gentle Reminder

This past month I have taken a lot of time to be alone. Alone in my thoughts. Alone with myself. Or as alone as I can be under a roof with others and of course the dog named Sam. Looking back at my childhood I found peace in being alone. I’m not choosing alone because there is something wrong, just the opposite I think I am choosing alone because it is what feels right, at least for now. I still have plenty of room for the people I love old and new but I am discovering “that I have the capacity to be my own home.” I am not hiding within these 4 walls but rather embracing being home. 💕

BIBC Part 2

…and sea glass

Body Image Bootcamp is so much more than how you look.
BIBC is like a beautiful beach covered in glass. All of the most broken and shattered pieces becoming amazing shiny pieces of colorful sea glass as they wash up on shore. Sharp edges softening as we share, rough sandy parts smoothing with each hug or touch, dullness fading with each tear. In each of us the broken shattered pieces are the same. The who or what shattered or broke them may be different but the pieces reflect what is the same. The beautiful women whom I was blessed to share this journey with at BIBC supported and helped not only find the pieces of sea glass but they chose to pick them up and hold them close to their hearts. Choosing to see through eyes of compassion, empathy and love we each were able to pick up the pieces and polish them until each piece sparkled. I am so grateful to each of my Sol sisters for sharing their broken pieces so together we could uncover the beauty of sea glass within. I believe each woman, BIBC sister before us left a piece of sea glass behind so together they create a beautiful mosaic of sea glass that will continue to grow within & s big beautiful brave hearts so they can feel the beauty of the sea glass with in them, both theirs and ours. So they can know the beauty of their hearts creation.
I see you. I hear you. I love you. I stand with you. May you continue to shine brighter with every tomorrow than you did at BIBC.
I am so blessed to have shared this journey and am so grateful to the beautiful strong amazing women who so generously shared their broken pieces and left their beautiful piece of their sea glass in the mosaic that is being created within my heart. I will forever cherish it and allow it to reflect the beauty that is each one of you. It is because of you I am Becoming a beautiful mosaic and one bird freed.
We all have broken pieces but it’s thru those broken pieces we can create beauty from within❤️

“Being seen is not just about physical visibility, it’s about being recognized and valued as a human being.” Brittany Packnett Cunningham

Taking a moment from my life, stepping out of my comfort zone, talking to strangers, asking if I could photograph them, asking their name, smiling at them, sharing a lemonade with a no longer stranger, sharing your heart with someone you just met. Taking a moment changed me for more than a moment. Taking a moment might change you for more than a moment, it may change you for a lifetime.

I am forever grateful for the people I have been blessed to cross paths with. For for allowing me a place where I could clear space and open my heart not only to myself but to the people I meet along my journey. and thank you for allowing me to feel seen and loved and for opening my eyes heart to me. I know I still have a ways to go to finding me but the journey is a lot shorter now. ❤️

And if a cat and a rooster can eat breakfast together anything is possible.
