Walking & talking like a teenager already. Tells me no when I ask her anything! Lol oh lord what have I got myself into?
👏🏼
Sharing my top 3 tips on how to get good pics of your kids. Link in bio!

Thank you @natalie_nicolephotography for this gorgeous picture of us. Love this season of our lives, & nurturing her with my body. These are some of my favorite moments.

First session I’ve ever shot of these two beautiful souls, I went on to shoot their wedding, her bridals, & now I get to shoot their family session with the sweetest little boy you’ve ever seen! Can’t wait to share 😍

#fridayintroductions & today I’m talking about my love language. How I wish to receive my love is different then how I give it so I’ll talk a little about both.
❤️
Words of affirmation is the main way I wish to receive my love & gifts are a strong second. This is where I’ll toot Jcs horn a little. This man isn’t the best at gift giving but he is the best at constantly telling me how much he appreciates everything I do. How good of a mom I am. Even small things like thanking & complimenting the food I just made him. It might be because I mention my love language all the time
😂
The way I give love is acts of service. Nothing makes me happier then be able to cook him a good meal, or give him a back massage after he has worked a long shift.
✨
The way I give love has a lot to do with why I started this photography business. I love being able to provide this service for the people who appreciate a good photograph. & let’s be honest I love the words of affirmation & feedback I get from my clients. 👏🏼

The last few weeks I’ve been really digging into my “why”. Why I get up in the morning? Why I photograph portraits? Why I do what I do?
✨
In order to figure that out I’ve been digging into the stories of my past. What big events happened in my life that have made me who I am?
✨
The most vivid memory I have and the one that shaped who I am is the day my baby brother Jack Ryan, passed away. I was young at the time, but I remember the whole day. I often replay the events of that day and days after. I think about the not so good things like the tiny white casket, the way his skin felt & his white little suit. But I also think of the good things like his precious face and his beautiful little hands. I remember how fragile but gorgeous he was. I’m the oldest of 7, my siblings are my everything — the second they were born I stepped into this motherly role that just came natural to me. It was that way even with Jack. Jack was diagnosed with a spinal cord disease. Most kids with this diagnoses don’t live past 2. We were hopeful with Jack — we believed a miracle could happen. Unfortunately, it didn’t. We were left with grief and pain but through it we’ve all become stronger as a family and I know he is our little angel watching over all of us.
✨
Through this experience I found ways to express myself through art and creation — I love creating and writing. When I was younger I thought I could either write a book or live to New York and become an actor. Eventually that faded & I found photography. Photography came to me right when I needed it. It was & still is the one constant thing in my life. At 13 years old I asked for a camera for my birthday — it was a dark blue point and shoot and man, did I wear that thing out.
✨
What I remember now is that I never wanted to take pictures of nature or landscapes. I am a people photographer thru and thru. People are where I am most happiest and while I appreciate a gorgeous landscape or floral photograph (hence my print shop) what will always have my heart is people... {Continued in the comments}

From their engagement session, to their destination wedding in Cabo (where I met Jc) to their first anniversary in Florida & now this!! Maternity portraits in the place where it all started. I love you guys so much! Thank you for continually trusting me to photograph these amazing moments in your life and for giving Avie a life long best friend! 😘😘

As world breastfeeding week comes to an end so I wanted to share a couple thoughts.
🤱🏻
For anyone wondering, yes I am still breastfeeding Avie, and no, I don’t see a stoping point anytime soon. I am always getting the question, “how long do you think you’ll breastfeed her?” To be honest I have no idea. I want to wait till we are both ready. A big part of me wants to wait till Avie is ready but I have no idea what the future holds so for now that answer is whenever we both feel like it. We have night weaned and basically that means I am not feeding her when she wakes up in the middle of the night anymore.
✨
Its crazy to think that I have been feeding a tiny human for the last 13 months straight. Every single day, every single bump or bruise, every time she is scared, I am the one she runs to. While this all sounds great, I get really touched out. Sometimes I wanna scream bc she is attached to my boob completely passed out, but I know the second I remove myself she will wake up screaming. So I sit there basically frozen for however long she needs me. It makes me crazy bc I have so much to get done and I start going over all the ways I could possible sneak away but then I catch a glimpse of her beautiful little eye lashes, and her perfect little fingers and I take a huge breath and I remember that she will only be this little for a short time. I remember that she is 13 months and one day she’ll be 13 years old running off with her friends. I remember that she is only a baby and she needs her momma for comfort and for this short period of time I can sit mindfully smiling and relish in the fact that this perfect little human is mine and I am hers.
✨
So while sometimes breastfeeding is a pain in the ass, the one thing I do love about it, is I am forced to slow down, stop everything I am doing and cuddle my little babe.
✨
While I know not everyone is able to share this experience with their babies I want you to know that if you have the slightest chance that you are able to or want to but don’t know how please ask me! .

So... I never thought I would say this but I got so into the bachelorette this season 😂 I literally have never been into it before but I really loved Becca this season. She just seems so real & down to earth.
✨
Watching last nights episode & I’m kinda sad it’s over, but really hope that she made the right decision and is happy. Don’t worry, not gonna spoil it for those who haven’t seen yet. Of course since I’m a photographer all I can think about is taking their wedding pics 😂
✨
I do have a question for the fellow bachelor lovers. Who do you want to be the next bachelor?
