there are days
when the light flickers
and then i remember
i am the light
i go in and
switch it back on

Whenever you are creating beauty around you, you are restoring your own soul. ~ Alice Walker

“The body is not a crime; is not a gun.
The body is not a spill to be contained.
It is not a lost set of keys, a wrong number dialed.
It is not the orange burst of blood to shame white dresses.
The body is not an apology.”
~ Sonya Renee

Thoroughly loving Brené Brown’s “Atlas of the Heart” right now. 💯 recommended. “We find that what we regret most are our failures of courage, whether it’s the courage to be kinder, to show up, to say how we feel, to set boundaries, to be good to ourselves, to say yes to something scary.”.

Love, if it is love, never goes away.
It is embedded in us,
like seams of gold in the Earth,
waiting for light,
waiting to be struck. - Alice Walker

This wknd I’m excited to kick off another year in the studio getting to be creative with some amazing humans. 🎉 ~.~There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty. ~.~ Steve Maraboli

Currently booking maternity bo***ir sessions in January and February for anyone in their 30-36 week of pregnancy. DM for info kit. ☺️ ✨

It was when I stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself I found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole. ~ Rupi Kaur

but magic
doesn’t work like that
magic doesn’t happen
cause I’ve figured out how to
pack more work in a day
magic moves
by the laws of nature
and nature has its own clock
magic happens
when we play
when we escape
daydream and and imagine
that’s where everything
with the power to fulfill us
is waiting on its knees for us

I’m often asked when the best time to do a pregnancy session is. 🙋‍♀️ The ideal time to do a shoot is between 30-35 weeks, but it all comes down to when you feel good and want to do it! ☺️ ✅
