"I want you to engage with the world from a place of worthiness. You will learn that you are worthy of love, belonging, and joy every time you see me practice self-compassion and embrace my own imperfections." - Brene Brown

💛💛💛

Do you ever have those days when you just want to stay on the couch under a blanket? I know I do. And, my kids do too. At my house, we say that we're going to "sloth it up." 🦥 Usually, this happens after we've finished our school activities and my work for the day. Because I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to getting things done. If I'm being honest, I expect a lot of myself and should be more gentle. 😬 I tell my clients and students this all the time - using the phrase "Be Gentle With Yourself." And, we should. I should.

Be gentle with yourself.

Be gentle with your kids.

Be gentle with others.

We are worthy of love and kindness and the chance to be exactly what we are able in any given moment. As parents, that's hard. When our kids show up and say, "Not today," are we gentle? I'd like to believe that the answer is Yes. The truth is that I do my best.

What on earth does this have to do with the sweet family I'm sharing today? Well, I see this mama show up for her boys again and again. She loves and laughs and meets them where they're at, even on days when they say, "No thanks!" And, the result is lots of snuggles and a beautiful connection.

Last, but certainly not least, is the session so many families look forward to each year - Pay What You Can Mini Sessions.

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, but I always like to hold Pay What You Can Mini Sessions in November, in honor of my son. 🎗️

I lost my son, Jason, to cancer in 2006. In memory of him, I hold this annual charity event. These sessions, and the families who participate each year, are near and dear to my heart. During this one precious day, I get to talk to people who know about Jason. We learn more about each other's hearts and families each time we get together. While they're never met Jason, I know that he holds a special place in their hearts. It means so much to my mama heart.

Proceeds go to   and , two of my favorite local charities.

Here's how it works:

🎗️Make a donation to one of these charities.
🎗️Book your session online.
🎗️Send me your receipt.
🎗️Receive a 20-minute photography session and 5 digital images.

Sessions will be scheduled on November 13th.

Together, we can make even the tiniest difference in the lives of families struggling through the childhood cancer experience. Spread the word. Share with your friends.

Moment-in-Time sessions are new this year. I have to say, I'm pretty excited about these little sessions. Like you, I'm a mama who knows how fleeting time is. My "baby" is five and starting kindergarten. Cue all the tears. 😭 I love doing quick photos of my kiddos and getting a snapshot of their personality. And, let me tell you, they show me something different every time. I wish for you to have a captured moment-in-time for your kiddos too.

These are offered to capture your child at the exact stage they're at. This is a more relaxed and fun replacement (or addition to) your annual school pictures. My focus is on your child and their unique personality.

These sessions are quick and easy! They are open to children ages 4 and up. Just 5 minutes with them will allow me to capture beautiful portraits of who they are today. You will get 5 edited, digital images from me. As an added bonus, you'll get 50% off prints purchased through your online gallery. Price: $100 per child.

Family Mini Sessions are a fall fav of mine. I, selfishly, love these! For my families who trust me with their family photos year after year, THANK YOU!! I get to see how your family has grown. And, more importantly, I get to know each of you.

Here are the details: They're 30 minutes, which is just enough time to capture intimate images of you and your family. Plan on a mixture of poses and interactive prompts to get you the coveted Christmas card photo and beautiful images for your home. Family Mini Sessions are $250 and include 5 digital images. 

Also, because providing photography to all families (despite your financial situation) is so important to me, I am offering a discounted rate to the first 5 families to schedule their family mini session. I have 4 of these left!

I love capturing the details of the kiddos I photograph. And, baby feet are at the top of my list.

With my own kids, I still take pictures of their little feet as they sleep. It's such a unique marker of how much they're growing. What do you focus on when marking your own children's growth?

I always feel so honored to be able to serve fighter families through The Gold Hope Project. Eliana is such a sweet girl who hasn't let cancer take away her spark. While wandering around taking pictures of her and her precious personality, we shared jokes - and, omg, her half-hidden giggle melted my heart - and talked about how she misses her hospital friends now that she's done with treatment. The doctors, nurses, and fellow patients children meet in the playroom become a huge part of their lives and, sometimes, it's hard to let that go.
