Congratulations to V+J on their union yesterday! They had a beautiful wedding surrounded by their closest family and friends for a truly intimate wedding day.

It's been a while since I addressed this but it's back in the news cycles.

Children's photos on the internet.

For context: The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals just ruled that privately possessing AI-generated CSAM depicting “fictional” children can be constitutionally protected when it stays within the home.

There is a lot more about the ruling that can be discussed but it's more than I can type right now.

While I am not a mom to children earthside, I am still called to protect the innocent.

I do limited family sessions, but if you are one of those clients or even a wedding client, I will continue to highly limit photos of children under 18 being shared to social media. The internet is not a safe place for littles, and even if we eventually ever have children earthside, I have already decided their photos will not be put out on social media. The cost of the risk is too great. I want children to have the childhood I grew up in, without social media and the internet using their images for click bait.

So if you have had a family session and are wondering why I've never shared those pieces to my socials, please know it has nothing to do with you, your session. I want to advocate with trying to protect your littles as much as possible. ❤️

Maybe this is the sign we all needed to focus on keeping childhood simple and safe.

Deep in editing land over here...

In other seasons...I have been sitting and contemplating the season we are in personally. We had hopes, dreams and even wants that some did come to pass and others did not and some are yet to come.

What if instead of rushing through life...we slowed down and enjoyed the moment and place we are in?

Saturday was a dream.

Could not have asked for a better day and even more wonderful humans. Just sent these sneak peeks out and are diving headfirst into the gallery😍

I always internally scream with joy whenever I see the ore boats docked at Presque Isle.

Yesterday's wedding was nothing short of magical and CJ and Skye were some of the kindest humans I have ever encountered. I had a few brief moments to whip out the Polaroid and experiment a little.
