Project 52 | Week 3 – Breakfast

Breakfast is not about the food as much as it is about the pause before the day begins.
The in-between moment before schedules, expectations, and noise take over.

Some mornings are slow. Some are rushed. Both are real, and both are worth remembering.

This is one of my favorites - protein waffles with peanut butter, blueberries, and honey.

Show me what your go to breakfast is in the comments below.

Project 52 | Week 2 - Cold

Cold is more than temperature.
It is stillness it is clarity. It slows everything down.

There is something honest about cold moments. Nothing is hidden. Everything feels a little more exposed. This image reminds me that stillness has its own kind of beauty.

Does this feel peaceful to you or uncomfortable?

If your playing along share your photo interpretation of cold if this theme speaks to you.

I'm taking action and I am committing to something big this year.
52 weeks. 52 stories. 52 chances to show up creatively.

I am launching Project 52 right here on my page today with week One - NEW BEGINNINGS.

Each week, I will share one intentional image or story tied to a specific theme. Some will be personal. Some will be client focused. Some will be creative just for the sake of creating.

Why am I doing this?

• To stay creatively sharp
• To show the heart behind my work
• To give you a deeper look at what I photograph and why
• To connect with the people who feel at home here

This is not about perfection.
It is about consistency, storytelling, and growth.

Look for the calendar of all weeks coming soon!
I would love for you to follow along for all 52 weeks but feel free to hop in the challenge whenever you can or when it speaks to you!

This week’s picture for me is the perfect example, a clean slate, a new start. What doa your new beginning look like?

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Time for a little re-introduction ;) I'm Christine and If you’re new here, welcome. If you’ve been around a while, thanks for sticking with me.

I’m a photographer, a wife, a mom to four kids, and I live on a farm in a Flanagan, IL. A lot of my time is spent traveling to cattle shows with my kids and watching the friendships and connections they build in the barn. That sense of community and real-life moments is a big part of why I love what I do.

Some of you may know that beyond photography I wear many other hats. This past year stretched me in ways I didn’t expect. It forced me to slow down, reflect, and really think about how I want my business and my life to work together. I’m learning that growth doesn’t always look loud or flashy. Sometimes it looks like clarity, boundaries, and taking the next small step even when it feels uncomfortable.

As I head into this next season, my word is ACTION. I always have a million ideas and realizing that not of them need to be carried out. Just tabled for a bit. ;) I'm choosing Action - Not hustle. Not pressure. Just choosing progress over perfection and trusting myself enough to move forward.

If you’re here for meaningful photos, real conversations, and a little behind-the-scenes of my work and life, I’m glad you’re here.

Thanks for being part of this space. 💛 Let me know in the comments how we first met.

✨ Every tattoo has a story, and I am looking forward to tell yours.

“Inked: The Stories Within Us” is my newest photography project, turning tattoo stories into art for a coffee table book. After you book your session, you will fill out a questionnaire telling about your tattoos and what they mean to you. Then we will do a portrait session to highlight them and use your favorites to tell your story inside the coffee table book that will be created.

I am so excite to partner with the Tri-County NAMI chapter for this project also raises awareness and funds for , supporting mental health advocacy.

💬 Want to share your tattoo story? Book your session today!
