Each mama has their own, natural way with their children. Some of us are silly and playful, some are real active and vocal, others are quiet and strong. These are all excellent qualities. I tend to lean on the silly and loud side. In our house, we wear our hearts on our sleeves. This isn’t always an advantage. This session’s mama is in the quiet and strong category and a big part of me wishes I had more of that meekness in me. Her children can rest in it and their home was peaceful. I’m also under no illusion that ANY home is always like that. Life with littles in hard and we all reach our limit. I love when I get a glimpse of families whose flavor is seasoned with that gentleness I so long to taste. It is everything “home” to me.
A few things I am loving lately that are helping me move through the juggling act with a little more sanity:
A single charging base on my nightstand. One cord. One base. Phone, Apple Watch, AirPods... all done. I waited way too long to make that little switch.
And honestly? The Chattanooga trip. Getting out of the daily routine and being intentional about time with my husband reminded me that those moments do not happen on their own. You have to actually put them on the calendar.
What is helping you feel more grounded lately? A mindset shift, a habit, a snack you are unreasonably committed to? Hit reply or drop it in the comments - I am always adding to my list.

Happening this weekend and then the next event will be this fall. I’d love to see you Sunday at the schoolhouse! Link to book is in bio!
I have a growing list of places around Tallahassee I want to photograph.
Goodwood. The Grove Museum (seriously, how is it that tucked away on North Monroe?). The canopy roads. Wakulla Springs. Florahome-style spots that make you feel like you stumbled onto something.
I want to grow a collection of prints from this area, and I am genuinely curious what spots matter most to you.
What are your favorite places around Tallahassee and the surrounding communities? Drop them below. I want to hear what this place means to the people who live here.
Beat the heat, caught the light, captured the love. Another beautiful morning at Dorothy B. Oven Park. ☀️📸

250 years from now, someone in your family will find a photograph.
They won`t know about the chaos of this season — the packed schedules, the grocery runs, the ordinary Tuesdays. But they`ll see a face. Your child`s face. And they`ll know exactly who they were.
That`s what an heirloom portrait does.
This summer — the year America turns 250 — I`m creating Heirloom Portraits for a small number of families. Timeless, simple, and made to last generations. I`m even having them made of my own four
kids for exactly this reason.
Because this season of your child`s life deserves more than a photo on your phone.
July 12th. A few spots remain. Details in bio.
