Love her like a and watch her transform into one, right in front of your eyes... provide her with love, affection, babies, and a home, and just watch your love water her like a garden providing life and direction to your own.

Please don't ever neglect the sincerity of her love, or the fruits she provides your life and the even more needed direction she provides will never reach ripeness.

“The guys who fear becoming fathers don’t understand that fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the men. “– Frank Pittman

The way he holds her and supports her and threw her dress in the wind for an hour and didn't complain once. I applaud you sir.

We added a mini moment for these two and I am SO happy we did. Thank you guys for being willing to put your love on display.

They say to appreciate what our bodies can do.

They don't say preparing for a child has so much more to do with loving our bodies strength through the moments we feel so different than society says we "should be".

Every mom I get in front of my lens has the same thoughts, they don't recognize themselves, they feel "huge" and after having my own 6 babies, (including a set of twins) I can understand that feeling.

Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servant-hood.

Every SINGLE day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves, and this ALL starts HERE in these captures, of THIS beautiful woman with her gorgeous belly carrying a lifetime of gracious and voluntary servitude. This is why we need to care for our women.

Please revel in the beauty of your creation. In the beauty of your contribution to life and the undying love you will continue to have for this sweet baby girl. Frankie, it was so much fun capturing you in such a pivotal point in your life and hers.

I want to give a heartfelt apology to my clients and those of you supporting this wild dream of mine.

Life has a way of throwing us curveballs, some in the moment seem amazing, some seem life ending, but they all are unavoidable. And none of them come without lessons.

I love what I do, in building women and families, seeing them flourish and become so empowered and fall in love with who they are, this has always been and will be my HEART WORK.

I have fell below the standard of service I hope to provide each and every one of you that come to my inbox interested in a session, my response times, follow up and overall client care has not been up to even my lowest standard and I am sorry, genuinely and from the bottom of my heart.

My life took more than one curveball all and once and hit me very unexpectedly, and I'm still gathering myself so I can stand tall as the woman I know I am capable of being.

I'm asking for grace and continued faith and hope that watching my journey will inspire someone that needs reminded of standing tall after you taking a hit is not only important but, NECESSARY.

Wait. But so is the break taken to gather yourself. I needed a break. I needed to re-evaluate, and take care of myself so I could run this empire and take care of myself and my children first.

If you could continue to have faith in me, I'd love for you all to know I'm dedicated to going through the massive amounts of communication I've missed, deadlines that have passed and doing my best to reach out and fix what needs fixed, I will show up and own where I have been absent.

Things within the structure of my life will be changing and as an extension of that life, my business structure, procedures, sessions offered & pricing will be doing some changing as well.

I won't be perfect but I've seen what I can DO and what I can INSPIRE. And I won't give up on that.

If you have been waiting on me, I am reaching out today or tomorrow to get sessions scheduled and time lines updated.

There is nothing worse in the name of promise as the reality of inaction. I will act, and uphold integrity in the art that I love creating with you all and pray for the grace to move forward.

Thank you for reaching this point in my post!

: Being a mom isn't fun. I can be, but it isn't unconditionally fun.

Laura is experiencing pr***en heaven. 😂 fortunately their time with me was fun! These girls enjoyed being in the spotlight for a moment for SURE!

Can we also all agree that Laura needs to come back alone and see the upstairs of the studio for some self care?? You're absolutely stunning Laura and I am so grateful we got some fun shots of you three!



Hug a mom today, I don't care if it looks like she is stressed, or if she needs it, just assume she does, because...

When your dad is your hero, childbirth includes him. No questions asked.

The way Kora leaned on her daddy as a grown woman gave me such butterflies.

Such a wonderful father this man.

Thank you Haugen's for being such a wonderful family to share a community with.
