Life happens
in a blink.

One day I woke up and my son was in his teens.

I wanted to cozy up with my morning coffee and flip through photographs to reminisce, but I had nothing. Instead of pulling out a curated album that held our precious memories, I was left anxious, endlessly scrolling through my phone. Hoping to find something that would remind me he was once smaller than me!

Even the professional photographs we'd taken had become lost between blurry every day snaps and recipe screenshots. I wish I had documented those memories over the years and preserved them the way they deserved to be.

As our little ones become not so little, they outgrow their childhood clothes and bedrooms. We only have so much time with them at each stage of their life. I don't ever want another parent to wake up and realize they have no memories to hug close.

Seize the opportunity to capture the memory-worthy moments that are ushered in with each new season of life.

More than you would think…

23 years of ballet left me with stick-straight posture and the ability to bend at odd angles to get the perfect shot — but most importantly, it taught me that life is full of expression and beauty. When I became a photographer, I gained another way to ground myself in the little, beautiful moments. The ones that are so special, even if we don't realize it at the time.

Let's uncover and cherish the everyday beauty in your life. The sun sparkling in your eyes or the soft breeze that flutters your dress or the way you hold the ones you love. It's happening all around you.
