A dear client sent me this photo from her session and it made me sob. The wait for our adoption has felt endless this week. To be honest, having no timeframe for a person who loves to plan feels grueling. But when I saw this moment captured it affirmed to me that my job matters. […]

I have always been fascinated by families. Where you grew up and with who forms and shapes us in so many different dynamics. It’s beautiful really, that the humans around us make us into who we are as adults. I grew up surrounded by sisters living on a dairy farm. We would disappear for hours […]

We rarely think about it as an adult…but when last have you taken the time to play? I assume in my daily tasks that play is reserved for children, but I truly think we adults could use a good dose of it ourselves. It doesn’t need to be fancy or cost a lot, it can […]

Yesterday my twin sister and I were talking about Mother’s Day.  I struggle with infertility. She struggles with secondary infertility. We could say many things but the most important thing we long to tell every woman who is walking our journey… There is HOPE. You may not feel it now. You may be in the […]

Visiting Jackson Hole has been on my bucket list for the past ten years. I don’t enjoy terribly cold weather and I love being around lots of people (one reason I adore living in the city).

There were a few habits I picked up during lockdown that I knew needed to change. I function-like most people-the best on a routine. Here are a few areas I have worked on changing recently. The time I wake up. This impacts my entire day. If I wake up between 5:30-6:30 I can take the […]

Right now I have a hard time finding words to describe the last few weeks. Society as a whole has had so much to deal with; loneliness, sickness and fear. So much fear. Living in DC has been so emotional because on top of everything, this is the space where people come to voice with […]
