Woman, and woman alone have the ability to create life within her very self.
… let that sink in.
We may not feel like it all the time (hell, MOST the time) — but we are frickin’ GODDESSES.
We create, we carry, we birth, we nurture.
Speaking of goddesses, a spot opened up for the Summer Persephone Unleashed retreat today.
So if you feel like your weary spirit could use a reset, maybe that spot opened up for you.
Check. It. Out.
With Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, I thought it was as good a time as any to get back into the rhythm of blogging. I don’t know how many people even scroll through these pages, but I sure love being able to look back upon images of GOOD times. If these strange days have taught me anything, it’s that there is a lot to be grateful for, if you know where to look.
My session with these 3 was my first photo session since the shelter in place order was issued 2 months ago. I didn’t realize how imperative photography is to my well-being, until I had the camera in my hands and I was chasing sunlight up a hill with a 9 months pregnant woman trailing behind me. These are the days. These. Are. The. Days.

I’ve said it a million times, but I’ll say it again: the honor and magic of being invited into people’s lives to document their big transitions is the best part of my job. hands down.
You only get a handful of “soul mates” in this life. Lindsey is one of mine. Trevor is one of hers. And soon, she’s going to meet her 3rd soul mate — the little bundle of life-changing-ness in her womb. My eyes are seriously stinging with feels as I write this. You see, I met Lindsey 6 years ago when I desperately needed someone who understood this photography part of my life. She gets me in a way not even my HUSBAND does (which is why we have fondly coined the term “work wife” for one another). And in just 4 short weeks (give or take), she is not only going to join the mom club, but the “run a photography business from home while being a mom” club. And I am selfishly SO HAPPY to welcome another member. I love these two souls more than words can ever express, and I am over the moon to witness them make the transition into parenthood. They’re going to be SO kickass at it.
