My willing assistant and my effortless muse, Sienna. To the clients who don't bat an eye when this little one tags along, I couldn't do it without you.

Solo-parenting has it's obvious challenges. Bringing my kids to work is sometimes my reality when my husband is away. Childcare falling through last minute forces me to make the decision to either bring them to work or not make money - doesn't happen too often, but it does happen. Thank goodness my kids are a bit older because I am ready to be back 100%.

Here is to a new year, new posts, and new work. Previously unshared work from 2022 coming up soon!

Javi Camacho, my baby nephew 😍 I still can't believe he's here. Another little soul for me to obsessively document for the rest of life.

Proud parents, my brother, Adam Camacho, and beautiful sister, Angie Camacho. I love you guys so much.

The Surber’s make extraordinary efforts to truly connect with their lives. It’s as if they never lose touch with whats truly going on here: how we manage our time is what our life turns out to be. Coming from someone who is pretty damn terrible with time management, I can say that I become keenly aware and “awake” when I meet those who are conscious in all the right ways.⁣⁣

What a treat to go exploring with Clare and her family. I drove about an hour to meet them at the trailhead and then jumped in their vehicle for 30 minutes of true off-roading. We were literally driving over boulders and I may have bumped my head once or twice, but it was all worth it for the ADVENTURE. A real experience that we will not soon forget!

A moment of silence for all of the parents who declined my offer to capture “a few photos of just the two of you” during a family photo session.

I’ve shared client work once this year. It’s time to fix that. So let’s start off with a banger: the Williamson family who were visiting California from Texas 💯 Scroll to the end to see my favorite little portrait.

I feel that a major part of my job as a parent is to remind my children that things are rarely so black and white. For instance, my kids are obsessed with knowing what/who is good or bad. “A school bully is BAD”. When I hear things like that, my brain begins to twitch and I know that I must stop what I’m doing to have a conversation with them. “Maybe bullying is bad, but it doesn’t make that kid bad.” So we go into reasons as to why this particular kid may feel the need to be mean. As I start listing off reasons, the kids get excited to add their ideas of why a kid might be mean to others and everything begins to click for them. I could tell they were truly feeling for this fictional kid. This new understanding lead to problem solving ideas and all of a sudden their view on bullying changed completely. Their little minds got flipped turned upside down as it was putting in the work.

I have met many adults who still live as if everything is so black and white, so clear, so left or right. I feel for them because I believe that kind of mindset and blindness is based out of fear… and maybe laziness. It’s easier when things/people/situations are so neatly defined and labeled. Unfortunately, that is not reality and if I can raise my own to know the importance of putting in the work, wondering “why”, of having more consideration, compassion, and understanding… then I think they will be better equipped to face life as true appreciators of... life.


At least, that’s my take on things. I’m still learning my way through parenting young children. Every now and then I get one thing right, but that’s usually after getting ten things wrong. That’s the beauty of raising kids. Letting them witness us struggle and thrive interchangeably while loving them unconditionally.
