we are here. we are here. documenting our days has such a powerful grounding force to me when i do it right. i need as many practices as possible to bring me back to the beauty that laps up on the shore of RIGHT FREAKING NOW–otherwise i’m miles away planning a beautiful tomorrow.
some people have a glorious ability to stay HERE with no problemo. I’m not one, naturally, in my own motherhood. give me someone else’s family and i am one hundred percent in, it feels like time slows down for me to witness everything and turn it over in my hands and paint it into my camera just the way i see it. so in trying to bring that into my own day to day family life, i’m practicing that same noticing. having the camera at the ready so i can hold that piece of us now and later and eventually, much later after we are long gone someone will see these photos and know that there was love. fierce, awkward, shimmering, hard, all-encompassing love. it sure helps me to see it from the outside right now.
here’s a long pile of beautiful exhausting days smushed together.
hey. still here? me too. would it be too forward to ask ya to take it from here to REAL life? Wink wink. Okay that was dripping in cheese but if you want to have photos of your crew that speak to the guts of who you are, i’d love to be your lady. let’s chat about your family photo session m’dear! whether it’s an in-home session or somewhere in the wild or (my fave!) a little of both, let’s get you in the frame with those peeps you love the very most.
