COLLAB/// working together and loving every minute of it. I can't even begin to express how excited I am to launch this new offer. Makers and creators working together to share resources, costs, ideas and space to create content. Here is a photo of the recent collab with @habitatandcloth , @3singingbirdswhistler and @wishbeads.official An amazing day @studio303 with @flockando as the art director @alyssaraephotography_ behind the scenes @sonialealserafim hair and make up and our gorgeous model @firina.achor. We have 4 Collab sessions available this year so grab your friends, talk to your people and reach out to us about how we can make it happen for you! #collaboration #cometogether 
I’m coming off a week of 8 shoots. We tried something this last week.... all of them at once instead of stretched out. I don’t recommend it. We won’t do it again. But we did it! With @flockando by my side we packed the car a dozen times, carried the props, dressed the women, went up and down 100 elevators, climbed staircases, drove highways, drank 100 cups of coffee, laughed.... only cried once, set off alarms, photographed in gorgeous spaces, networked with culture changers and creative makers, ate chips, made memories, learned + learned more, pivoted, lost and found our masks 100 times, drank some cocktails + took a billion photos. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yesterday I let myself fall into my home, my people..... my couch- like this sweet image of @_zoey_ann falling into her person. I watched my new favorite show (yellowstone- anyone else?) drank all the coffee, edited some favorites from the week, made a yummy dinner for my family with leftover food from the last shoot, went for a walk with my love and the dog. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am learning to have faith in the process. Learning that I can be the photographer on the go and the woman who seeks deep rest at home. I call my branding sessions “all of you” as I deeply believe in humanizing my clients into their brands and yet I forgot to honor the parts of me that are not always ‘instagram’ worthy. “Ironically, it is through complete surrender, in total faith, that we become the most empowered.” I read those words this morning and it made me think that if I was being photographed to build resonance in my offers to my clients then yesterday while I was as committed to rest as I was to work this last week - well that would have been the perfect set up to capture my truth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It all belongs. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “having faith in the process gives you space to be curious about what is taking place and to relax enough to be open to what we are most in need of”. This will be this weeks practice. Join me?! 
Over the last few days I have been surrounded with the raddest women and I am beyond excited to share what we are working on. It's a lot of all of my loves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's creative It's collaborative It's beauty ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's for the collective. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I am fumbling my way through it. Because the easy way... the way it has always been is not enough. This feels important enough to make a million mistakes. To get it wrong before getting it right. To feel it completely within me before putting it out there. There is no fake it till you make it happening here.... only owning it. Only living it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Everyone deserves to be seen. And so it is. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #allofyousessions #itallbelongs #truthteller ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ and.... I got bangs. and.... the lovely @alyssaraephotography_ took this photo. XO 
What I hope you see in my images is that it is all so much more then a photoshoot. It’s trust, art, showing up, creative and honest. On both sides. I will show up as all of me and only ask that you show up as all of you. You won’t fall in the love with the photos you think you want.... you’ll fall in love with the photo that you were surprised by.... the moment, the look, the image that sparked a memory. The photos that tells the real story. familyphotography #nowsthetime #itallbelongs 
As I set up and took this photo all I could think of is how much these little girls would SWOON over this image as they got older! I wanted to whisper to them after I clicked “you’re welcome”;) I often find myself taking photos I wish I had of my family.... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Having lost my Mom at a young age, I appreciate that life isn’t guaranteed, and I’m so incredibly grateful for the photos that have allowed me to have memories. Because of this, I’m the friend who urges other friends to document every event, to take photos of occasions and ordinary days, photos of their friends and families, photos of themselves with their friends and families. Ditch the weight loss, embrace the braces, invite everyone- Just take the photo!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I hope you have the photos taken too. Days, weeks, even years from now you will see yourself and the people you love as more beautiful, more real and more brave than you ever remembered, and that’s a pretty incredible feeling. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have 2 more spots left for January 2021! Message me to book yours. #whistlerfamilyphotography 
Celebration, high vibe, and achieved. These were the words, feelings we were working with for this mini shoot this last year with @forthewildfemme and the disco ball seemed to be the obvious choice for a prop! I think I can actually sneak a disco ball into any emotive feeling- side note:)🕺🏼 I hope tonight you find space to celebrate in your own way..... high vibe with your bubble, or reflective with a good scotch, cozy in bed with netflix or a good book, a long walk in the snow with your family...... we have a lot to be thankful for. My words for this year- grateful, grounded, and curious. I might just need to grab my disco ball and figure out how to photograph and capture that! #happynewyear #beintentional #allofyousessions
