Something I didn’t expect when I started printing our photos was that my kids light up when they see pictures of themselves as little ones. They laugh. They point. They ask questions.

“Where was this?”
“Why was I doing that?”
And my favorite part is when one of them say “Do you remember when…”

And suddenly we’re telling stories about moments they don’t fully remember, but somehow still feel connected to.

That’s what printed photos do. They don’t just hold memories. They help pass them on.💕

If you’ve caught yourself lately thinking, “When did she get so big?”

That’s time doing what it does best… moving forward, whether we’re ready or not. It doesn’t ask for permission. It doesn’t slow down when life feels full. It just keeps going… quietly.

And one day, you notice the change… all at once.🥹

This past week felt harder than usual. I hope you all have been staying warm and cozy.

The kids being home meant a lot of switching roles: referee one minute, loving the sounds of their laughter the next… all while trying to stay focused and get work done. I loved having them home; but I still felt completely drained by the end of each day. Later bedtimes threw off our routine, which meant early mornings and workouts kept getting pushed aside. Not having that rhythm really got to me more than I expected.

Tomorrow, they’ll be back in school, and I already feel a bit of relief knowing we’re heading back to normal… back to our usual flow. I’m hoping that means I can ease back into taking care of myself again, too.🤞🏼

On the work side, Brittany and I kicked off our first sessions of the year last week, and it felt really good to be doing what we love.🙌🏻 I know it’s still freezing outside, but we are already dreaming of warmer days: our annual team training is this weekend, and I’m in deep in prep mode for spring minis launching next week… even if thinking about the warmer days ahead is already reminding me that allergy season is right around the corner.🤪

Right now, I’m just letting this week land… and welcoming whatever steadiness comes next.🤞🏼

Mom & Me Minis has always been about connection. About stepping into the frame; and letting your kids love you exactly as you are.

This spring, Mom & Me Minis are returning with an upgraded setup. Same intention as last year… just a more elevated way to remember this season.

Mom & Me Minis with Betsy Bug… coming this spring💐🚗🐞

We’ve always believed in letting kids be kids. Letting them move, laugh, be silly, warm up slowly, be themselves. For the past few months, I found myself wanting to take that one step further.

Not just giving kids space during a session… but creating a session designed for them to shine: their expressions, their quirks, their energy. The things you recognize instantly as them. What makes them… THEM.

This spring, I’ll be offering something new… Personality Minis!!!🎉

Short, simple sessions focused on who your child is right now. No pressure; no posing. Just their presence and personality, exactly as it shows up in this season.🤩

These will be part of our Spring Mini Sessions, with booking opening next month. Can’t wait to share more soon!

Senior season has a quiet way of sneaking up.

One minute it feels far off; and the next, the school year is full, spring is moving fast, and everything starts happening at once.

Senior photos are usually something parents mean to get to; but tend to get pushed because they feel like another thing to plan in an already full season.

That’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot as senior season approaches.

So this year, I’m making the experience even easier.

Starting this year, all Signature Senior Sessions with me (Belle) will now include access to the TBP Client Closet; so outfits don’t have to be another thing you have to plan. AND you also have the option to incorporate Betsy Bug!!!🎉 She’s perfect for seniors who want something relaxed, nostalgic, and a little different.

Our goal is simple: to offer a thoughtful, guided experience that leaves room for seniors to show up as themselves, and for parents to feel like this season was honored well.🫶

If senior photos are somewhere in the back of your mind this year, this is just a gentle nudge to start thinking about it.

Senior season will be here before it feels real.😉

Last weekend, my family and I traveled to New York to say goodbye to someone I hold very dearly.

After all the stories we’ve shared, it left me sitting with something I think we all know…
but don’t always pause long enough to really feel.

Time doesn’t wait.

Not for the season to feel easier.
Not for life to feel less busy.
Not for the moment when you finally feel “ready.”

It’s been a quiet reminder for me...
to stop waiting for the right version of life before honoring it.

Especially with our families.

Because these ordinary days:
the loud ones, the tender ones, the in-betweens...
they’re not something to rush past.

They’re the real story. 🫶

January always feels like a deep breath.

Not because life slows down; but because it settles.

Back into routines. Back into familiar rhythms. Back into the everyday moments that quietly become the ones we miss most.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉🎇 I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! What better way to start my first official working day of the year than by looking back…

2025 was a year of meaningful growth… in ways both visible and quiet.

It was a season that stretched us, shaped us, and helped us get clearer about what matters most in this work. Not just creating beautiful images, but creating experiences that feel calm, connected, and true to the season families are in.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re feeling especially excited about leaning even deeper into intention. More thoughtfully designed sessions. More space for emotion. More moments that feel honest and unforced... rooted in real connection.

Grateful for the families who trusted us last year, and for a team that continues to grow with care, serving every family with patience and heart. A reminder that this work is about so much more than photos.

We hope to continue documenting your family as this next season unfolds.💕

And just like that… the final gallery of the year is delivered.

A newborn session in the studio, photographed by Meagan, closing out a December filled with tiny toes, sleepy stretches, and new beginnings.

There’s something especially meaningful about ending the year this way. These early days pass so quickly; the foggy nights, the way they fit perfectly in your arms, the details you swear you’ll never forget… until time does what it does best.

Knowing these images would be part of their first holiday season together, I made it a priority to deliver this gallery in time for that season.

So grateful for every family who trusted us this year… whether you were welcoming a new baby, wrangling toddlers, celebrating milestones, or simply pressing pause to remember this season of your life. Always grateful for a team who leads with patience and care, and for a year that allowed us to keep showing up passionately and intentionally.

Here’s to closing 2025 gently… and stepping into the 2026 with so much gratitude. 💖

This time last year, we were in the Philippines for a month: the kids learned about our culture, experienced traditions I grew up with, tasted all the foods we loved, saw the places that shaped me, and introduced them to the people who have meant so much to me.

There’s something about December that makes this distance feel a bit louder… the memories, the familiar smells, the songs, the people, the way everything felt like home. The kids still talk about last year like it was yesterday, and I don’t blame them. It was one of those once-in-a-lifetime seasons you wish you could bottle up.

Right now, we’re doing our own cozy December things: Christmas movies, advent calendar surprises in the mornings, baking, and trying to get back into our healthy habit rhythm… but a part of my heart is definitely back home.

Just feeling a little sentimental today.❤️
