Children are messy, silly, curious, unpredictable, challenging, distracting, all-consuming, and at times overwhelming. But they’re such a gift, and their unquenchable childhood joy won’t last forever. Neither will these moments. For you, or for them.
If you’re able to this holiday season, stop for a second. And take them in, in full presence. Play with them and just listen to them… I really think they’re some of the wisest among us. Stop long enough to lean into their magic, their wisdom, and their joy this Christmas.

And as I wrap up this first (half) year of business at House of Felix, I’m filled with so much gratitude for the chance to witness, and capture the moments of joy, curiosity, and wonder of your little ones. Thank you for sharing them with me.
And thank you to Michael Rabb for this gorgeous song, and many of the songs I use on my reels. You’re brilliant. Thank you to my amazing assistants who have brought an additional layer of joy, creativity, and connection to every session. And Allie for helping at various pivotal points to help manage projects and processes more efficiently. And my editor Ahmed who does incredible work and is patient with me and all of my particular requests. :)
As I wrap up the year, I can’t believe this is some of the work I’ve been able to participate in — celebrating and capturing the magic of childhood. And I can’t believe I get to do it with and for such fabulous humans. So thank you. All of you. And Merry Christmas. 🎄
