Documenting your one ordinary, amazing life!

So, 2021 happened… I still write 2020 almost every single morning when I sit down to journal. It’ll be March before I get into the habit of writing it.

One of the very first pictures I ever took of my kids with my “big” camera. Harper wore that Cinderella dress for two years straight, every single day.

Anyway, I know this time is crazy and confusing and it feels really hard to navigate, but I am so excited for what I have coming up in 2021. I have a ton of new offerings that I hope you’ll love as much as I do!

That bink.

I shot my first birth last week and it was EVERYTHING. I came home from the birth center and told Zach, “I know what I want to be when I grow up.” I never want to stop doing that. It was breathtaking, to watch someone stand in their power and roar their baby earth side. I don’t see how it ever gets old.

wrinkly baby feet are my favvvv

Even as I sat editing the pictures I quietly cried, reliving the beauty and strength I witnessed. It was the most meaningful work I think I’ve ever done, besides documenting my own family’s day to day life. It was the most fulfilling thing.

Baby Mabel.

So, basically, I never want to stop capturing birth and that is going to be the biggest thing I push in the new year. I am running a promotion on birth right now. The first 5 people who book are going to get this at $250 and then it’s going up to $500 for the rest of the year. Help me make my dreams come true!

Excuse me while I go sob.

My second new offering is something I’m going to call Day in Your Life Sessions. This is exactly what it sounds like; its going to be a 4 hour block of time documenting the special bits of your day.

I had no idea what I was doing with my camera back then, but I am so thankful for these pictures

Something I’ve heard so many times since I first started documenting my kids back in 2017 was, “I wish I had pictures of my kids like you do of yours.” And I want that for you too. So much! So I’m going to offer it to you.

These sessions aren’t posed at all. They aren’t matchy matchy and wearing your Sunday best, they aren’t going to be perfectly curated with your grey walls and plushy white pillows. These are the nitty gritty of your day. These are your memories. These are the pictures that will fill your picture books. The ones your kids will pull out and say, “I remember that tooth brush! Remember when you carried that stuffy around constantly? We read that book together every single day.” These are your regular, ordinary, daily moments documented so that you and your family remember forever.

So many people are worried about their house (too small, too messy, too dark, too cluttered, too… fill in the blank), but none of that matters, at all!! When you look back, do you want to see a perfect home, or happy, connected kids? Do you want to miss out because you were too worried that your ordinary wasn’t good enough? Or do you want to take the chance and document your life and love and the family culture you’ve created in your home?! Personally, I always err on the side of documenting our life despite how messy our house normally is!

I am also running a promotion on these sessions. The first two who book are going to get it for $150, then the next 3 who book after that will get it for $250, after that it goes up to $500 for the rest of the year.

I cant wait to start documenting the big and small moments of your one ordinary, amazing life!

***Please note that these are portfolio building prices. I’m basically making a market for myself, as very few people even know what the heck I’m talking about when I talk about these sessions! I’m doing this at a discounted price to be able to use 10-15 of the images to show others what I’m talking about, so you must be ok with me using some of the images for promotional purposes. We can work together to figure out which ones, but if I’m unable to share a few I wont be able to do it at a portfolio building price! If you’re interested in a session but not in being a part of the portfolio building process, I totally get it! And would still LOVE to talk to you about scheduling a session. I want this accessible so payment plans are available, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask!***
