This is my reminder to both you and me:

If given the choice between the wet, windy, puddle-filled hour

or

the dry, Netflix binged, treadmill hour,

always, always, always
choose the rain.

Play is what happens when you let go of expectations and judgment, and invite curiosity and creativity.

And when experiencing your moments through play, you have less fear, more confidence, and better alignment with your own voice and desires.

I plan to remind you of this more and more.

[Thank you to for demonstrating this at the Hours of preparation meets moments of play that result in fabrics dancing with light and an image that calls forth joy.]

" I've said it before and I'll say it again (and again and again) Playfulli (Being Breath / Lisa Wilson) is literally the only person I will . . . well, let my guard down in front of and have her photograph . . . well, everything. She's been doing our family photos for years. Our store photos for longer. Our event photos for nearly everything I do even longer. Last week I sat down with a few of our readers for our upcoming Feb and March Tarot Speakeasies. And boy, do they not disappoint. I think the funniest thing is the only direction I personally gave in all this is "wear black" and 'let's be serious, no "fun" Lisa" . And well, we got one of them down - because honestly, you can't help but laugh and smile when you're around this entire crew, but especially Lisa. So, if you need photos. Professional or otherwise -- you know where imma tell you to go. " (-Talia H.)

I could make millions from my photography work and still there would be no greater reward than to help someone feel like this. ...To be the person that someone feels comfortable to let their guard down in front of.

Thank you to .halliday (.bloomington , ), and to every person who has trusted me in such a way. I'm grateful beyond words.

I feel giddy (no overstatement there) that I get to attend business and networking events with my eldest.

It makes me not only radiate with pride, but also feel deeply supported as we navigate creating community and developing our unique future paths together.

Thanks to all at during the launch of .bloomington for the wonderful conversation and connection.

This is what it's all ultimately about.

It was so fun to have the Smithville Scrappers in the studio for a second year...AND to have the ever-creative team mama film and compile this behind-the-scenes video.

I even learned new lingo: The kids had major drip. 🍦🀣

I'm thrilled to now be able to announce:

Alongside Pat Rumbaugh (aka "the Play Lady") (.play.lady) and Dr. Kimberly Herriman, I will be presenting "Recess Time" at the (US Play Coalition) 2026 conference at Indiana University! πŸŽ‰

I will ALSO be offering a unique session during the conference's Play Hub:

A Playful Photography Experience, where attendees will be able to dive into a bit of playful self-expression + dress up and have an image created to celebrate and remember the moment.

I'm SO excited for (and honored in regards to) this opportunity.

If you are interested in joining myself and others from around the country at the conference, check out the link in the image.

This is not a post for sympathy. It is a post for awareness.

I am still in the process of finding the words that feel best to represent what I want to say. These are simply placeholders.

I am behind on responding to comments, messages, and texts. I truly am sorry if it feels disrespectful. I will get back to you - just on a different timeline than we'd both prefer.

All photos will still be delivered at their contracted time.

All commitments previously made (including sessions and meetings) will be honored.

Beyond that, I ask for spaciousness and non-judgment as I extend the same to you.

Whether we choose to be conscious of it or not, we are living in a time of liminality: a time where old structures (and thus, realities) are breaking down and new ones struggle to be conceptualized and constructed.

We harmed ourselves - people of color, indigenous, women, and so many - for so long. We have reached a point of awareness, a tipping point, that comes on top of centuries of ignorance.

We are also pretending our way through a "normal" we tried to return to after a global pandemic, the consequences of which we continue to try to ignore. We have a global leader giving voice and power to hatred and misogyny and emotions running rampant and equally being suppressed as we try to do what needs to be done to pay the bills even though little makes sense anymore.

So, yes. I'm changing, you are changing, the world is erupting in change that demands our attention.

Spaciousness from "normality", from "to-dos" and "shoulds" is not only asked for, it is required.

Thank you.

Here are just a few of the images from yesterday's celebration of the Indiana University Football NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP win!

It was an honor to work again with bloomingtonian and to be down on the field, suffering yet exhilarated in the cold with so many as we wound up a fairy-tale season.

More images to come ...
