So many times we make excuses as to why we never want to be in the picture... "Oh I don't have my make-up done," "I still need to loose another 10 lbs then I will," or "I don't like what I am wearing."

Since I was younger, I always wanted to work fro a magazine company, in charge of everything that went through the publication and in the end holding a perfect copy of all of my hard work Every month. Many family members and friends have always mentioned to me to just publish and make my own so I can still work around the schedule of my son. I never really thought I could handle everything that went into creating and publishing a magazine, but the idea has never left the table even when I thought it would be impossible. I have been debating on this for months now and just decided I might as well step out of my comfort zone and start working towards my dream job. After all, I am still young and thriving.

The summer has been an incredibly busy one for our family; full of road trips, adventures, and making new friends. Though it has been an experience, it was good when we finally got to just relax at home and just work our way into a normal routine again. With doing this, I have been able to actually sit and observe as AJ interacts with the world around him.

I have spent the past three years exploring parenthood and the vulnerabilities that it brings. My thesis closed the chapter on insecurity and opened a new one for me to document parenthood in a new way. This year, I decided to showcase parenthood as it is. Each day I will capture a photograph from a moment in my family's personal life. They won't be perfect because, like life, nothing is, you take what you can get. This year will bring many journeys for my family, and I can't wait to share them with you.

I love engagement sessions! Couples are one of my favorite things to photograph, especially when I get to work with them again for later events. Engagement sessions give me the chance to work one on one with a couple and see what they love and how they interact with one another. I love exploring the intimacy in their love and, of course, the sessions are always full of love and jokes.

As many of you know, births are one of my favorite things to photograph. The emotion, the rawness, and the bringing in of mew life always catch me right in the feels. It could be because I am a mother myself, or just because I love being apart of such a beautiful moment... Mainly, it's a mix of both.

The first time I met Chris and Mary was when I was creepily watching their special moment unfold at the very end of the break wall in Port Austin, MI. I know, that sounds so weird right? But actually it was a very sweet story...

I think it is normal for people to have a list of things they want to do: Go skydiving, swim the barrier reef, travel to Europe.. The list can go on. I have my own version of this list for myself, as I am a huge wanderluster and I love to travel and explore. (Although, scratch sky diving off that list, I know I would chicken out) ...

I've always been a fan of photos, ever since I was a kid and my first cameras were those disposable ones that you only got to see what you took after your film was developed. I think I spent more time taking pictures of random things than the normal kid. So much that my step mom complained about always having to develop the cameras with "nothing on them.” ...

I always see posts on social media shaming new photographers, making them feel incompetent and silly for wanting to get into this industry. Sure, it is already over saturated… and sure, it seems like everyone and their mom is now a photographer to make an easy buck.. Which, of course, I understand why it bothers other seasoned photographers out there when this goes on all the time in their area. I mean, let’s be honest here, it completely sucks being undercut by someone charging not even enough to pay taxes. But does it really mean that we should shun all newbies out there?
