My days are not perfect. They are wild and messy and sometimes take me to my knees. But I remember the good. I want to hold onto it all. My baby’s milky hand tangled in my hair, staring at my two year old’s chubby cheeks as he’s on my hip, kissing the top of my oldest’s head, I want to remember every last detail. I hold them in my heart already but I know, they continue to fade. This place in my heart is not enough. I need them to remember me, their mother, or at least see these times we had together. I would give anything for them to remember these days that I cherish so much.

And I want to remember it wearing my favorite dress with a little makeup on. These are the memories I want to savor. 

I believe these experiences and being present in my own life help me to see the beauty in your motherhood. I am drawn to the little things you do. A kiss on your baby’s cheek, swiping your hand through their hair, kneeling down and making a boo boo all better. It’s these daily occurrences that seem so ordinary now but melt away as our babies continue to grow. Photography has provided me with an opportunity to remember how these days with my own children felt and reflect back on the love I am able to witness as I see your family.

I want to show you how incredible you are mama. Maybe our time together is a bit romanticized, but the reality is you are someone’s whole world.
