How Im a stay at home mother and a boss babe

When I meet other creatives in our current over saturated photo field and they are also successful role models and parents-- that's a BIG deal. (And if you see your photos below I'm also talking about you, YOU are a big deal.) How do you navigate becoming a mother, which in my opinion is so freaking hard; and also finding what you love, cultivating that, and becoming financially stable at that thing. Well its really hard. I don't think there is a one size fits all and we all find out own way but one current thing trends throughout: work! I don't even know if I could just chill for an entire day, my mind would explode. You think about the next thing and the next thing and so on. It's exhausting. You have to find a tribe of people who cheer you on and help you grow into a better you.

For me that looks like supporting my marriage, listening when I feel down, telling me I CAN, and yes telling me over and over again Im a great mom. No one needs people around them tearing them down. No one likes to share their fears when they don't feel comfortable. I try to extend my ear and my heart for others to feel safe enough to share the good and bad-- because honestly we're all going through it.

engagement season has arrived

I CAN'T WAIT FOR ALL THE 2018 WEDDINGS! I have the best couples, and this coming year doesn't disappoint. All the weddings will be so beautiful (and fun!). This particular couple is no exception, their engagement session was so much fun-- they were game for anything. We walked around German Village and had the absolute best time! Kaitlin sent me the sweetest email too when she followed up-- to once again prove BEST BRIDES EVER. 2018 I'm coming for you!
