I’ve taken a bit of a social media break to navigate coping with some family emergency situations around the holidays and to be more present with my family. While I’m not quite ready to dive right back in, the end of 2020 is near and it’s bringing with it all the feels. This has certainly been one of the hardest years of our lives, a sentiment shared by so much of the world during this unprecedented time. We started the year excited for the future and signing papers to build a new home, and are ending it nine months into a pandemic that has left most of us feeling isolated and unsure of the future. Despite the challenges, we are extremely blessed to have our jobs, my photography business, a new home that we are settling into, and the means to survive in a time when so many are struggling. Because of this, I often feel guilty for grieving losses, like lost time with our loved ones, especially when it feels so very precious and limited. I try to remind myself that it is important to feel and process our own individual experiences in life. It doesn’t lessen gratitude to acknowledge struggle. 2021 is already filled with hope and I know that I can say with confidence that I will never, ever take for granted a single hug, a visit, or trip outside our home again. 2020 may have been a year of universal hardship, but I hope that 2021 will bring healing to us all. And with that, I wanted share with you one of my own favorite photos of 2020... my baby girl Maia in all of her adorableness with her sweet, funny personality 🤍

One of my favorite parts of newborn photography? The details. Fingers, toes, hair, eyelashes... it’s the details that change *so* quickly. I make sure to capture every single one 🥰 #lashesfordays
