    Happy Thursday! Hang in there, its almost Friday!⁣ ⁣ Have any fun weekend plans?
    So excited for the sessions I've got planned this So excited for the sessions I've got planned this weekend! Stay tuned for lots of sneak peeks from one of my all time favorite locations!
    WORKING TODDLER MOM HACK 426 (don't ask me what th WORKING TODDLER MOM HACK 426 (don't ask me what the first 425 are):⁣ ⁣ Use bath time to your advantage. I don't know about you but my toddler LOVES bath time. She basically thinks its just swimming with shampoo. She hardly ever lets me get anything done these days but if I plop her in the tub she'll play for hours and I can get some work done on my laptop while I sit tubside (like planning my instagram content).⁣ ⁣ What best distracts your kids so you can get things done?
    𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞 𝗢𝗙 𝗔𝗥𝗧⁣ You know how when you go to a museum or art gallery most of the pieces have super literal names?⁣ ⁣ For example "Girl with a Pearl Earring", everyone knows that one. Or "Woman Walking in Rain with Umbrella", that one's from the @ideamuseummesa's current weather exhibit.⁣ ⁣ So, please give me your best art show title for this picture. Feel free to go deep, symbolic, obvious, literal, or even snarky. ⁣ ⁣ Can't wait to see what you come up with!
    Sometimes sessions end in a tickle fight. 🤷 And Sometimes sessions end in a tickle fight. 🤷 And I'm okay with that. 😆
    I can't remember a time when I didn't think I was I can't remember a time when I didn't think I was chubby. And for a long time I thought that meant I'd never be loved, never get married, never have a family.⁣ ⁣ I feel so sorry for that girl now. The one who thought the world loved or hated based on the size clothes you wore.⁣ ⁣ My turning point came during my senior year of high school. While there were many things that finally led me to self love the first and most influential was my senior pictures session.⁣ ⁣ When I got my pictures back I saw a beautiful girl. After that there was no going back. that picture wasn't going anywhere and I had to accept the truth in it. For the first time I thought I was beautiful. For the first time when I looked at a picture of myself i didn't automatically think "fat". ⁣ ⁣ Coincidentally it was around the same time I got serious about my photography hobby. I recognized that the camera had power to influence the way we see ourselves, and I wanted to show people their beauty.⁣ ⁣ Most importantly I want Emi to grow up and recognize her beauty and eternal worth everyday both because of how I talk about and react to my body and because of all the pictures proclaiming it! ⁣ ⁣ This is why I'm a photographer. This is the gift I strive to give each of my clients, especially the little ones.
