Spring is coming!!! I may open the windows today!

Spring is coming!!! I may open the windows today! It is amazing to me how the sun being out and the thought of 60-degree weather brightens up my mood. ⁠

What are you going to do today to enjoy the sunshine?⁠

Ah, the week of love!!! Some of us love it and some of us think it is silly. It's okay as long as we remember that love is what sustains us. ⁠
⁠
So when is the last time you had photos taken with your love? Was it your wedding? I bet it was pretty close! There is nothing wrong with asking your photographer to get a photo of just the two of you. It will remind you of your love and also be cherished by your family.⁠

A love connection. Siblings can be so fickle with each other but when you listen in the quiet moments they are also incredibly tender with each other. ⁠
⁠
This tender moment was captured during my fall school portrait sessions. I am planning spring school portrait sessions for March. If you are interested, comment on this post and I will get you the details!⁠

Mom's it is super important to be in the picture!

Mom's it is super important to be in the picture! As moms, we are generally behind the camera trying to capture the moments of our family. We do this so our children can remember their childhood and share it with their own family's someday. ⁠
⁠
But they also want to share you. They want to remember you! It doesn't matter what you look like, they want photos of you!⁠
⁠
So get in the frame, your children and grandchildren will be forever grateful for the memories of you.⁠

So ready to leave January behind, just skip ahead to February 1st. Who's with me! Although I have to say getting new blinds in the kitchen allowing some beautiful light into my home was a win for the weekend. Light always brings a fresh new perspective!⁠

What has been your win so far this January?⁠

I get super excited in the new year because I finally get to share all the wonderful families I shoot in the fall. ⁠

I always hold off on posting fall family shoots so that Christmas cards can be delivered with surprise (although this year the postal service left a little to be desired!) 📬⁠

If you had told me 13 years ago I would be a photo

If you had told me 13 years ago I would be a photographer/artist I probably would have laughed at you. You see, I started my career as an Electrical Engineer, I even hold a master's degree in the subject. I loved that job as it allowed me to dream up and help develop new technologies (ever heard of 5G!).📱⁠
⁠
Here's what changed. I became a mother of two lovely girls, stayed at home to care for them, and quickly realized that I had a passion for photography, not my "chosen" career. I worked hard to learn my camera, (this is where the engineering helped) and developed a love for creating snapshots in time meant to be cherished. 👶⁠
⁠
In motherhood time moves on, kids get bigger and need you less. I found myself in a place where I needed something for myself, something to achieve. At first, I threw myself into volunteering. I was the PTA president, swim team president, co-leader to two girl scout troops. While all that was exciting and time-consuming and I did feel like I was doing good it still didn't feed my need for creation and expression.⁠
⁠
That is why 3 years ago I decided to open a photography business. I get so much joy creating memories for people. I love taking photos of families, kids, and adults alike. It feeds my passion for creation and serving people all at the same time. 📸📷⁠
⁠
So tell me, what passions have you decided to follow? We all need passion in our lives (and not just the sexy kind 😇).⁠
