So, I had the outfits planned for my upcoming family photo shoot. I prayed my kids would be on their best behavior for weeks. I planned out the exact time we had to leave the house by in order to get to the shoot on time. I even made my kids go in the car […]

I remember all the texts, all the heart-breaking “not this month” conversations we had over and over. I understood this painful disappointment that Megan and Mike experienced because it took my husband and I well over a year to get pregnant the first time.

Spring was FINALLY in the air. As I drove in sixty-degree sun to this couple’s home for their lifestyle newborn shoot, I couldn’t help but crank up my radio and roll with the windows down. Anyone who has been in Montana this “spring” knows all too well it should have just been called “The Second […]

Can it be that time of year again?! Senior shoots are my jam. Seniors always make me so happy and hopeful. They are just starting out. Free.

Today all started with a GoFundMe page. I had anxiously been following a little girl named, Adalynn who had been fighting for her life in a hospital in Tennessee. She opened my eyes today. She’s the reason I lived today. 3 AM. I hear a faint cry, not from my 6-month-old, but from my three-year-old. […]

It has taken me a year and a half to write this. Not writing it made it almost seem like it didn’t happen. My mama didn’t die. I thought if I don’t write about it, I could just pretend she’s traveling and that she’ll be back at the end of the month. If I write […]
