• Got this in the mail the other day & officially added my Start Today journal to my morning ritual. No, I'm not sharing what's in it 😜 because that's not the point. But starting off your day with intention is so powerful. I must sound like a broken record but I can't stress it enough. I guess it's because I see posts in Facebook groups and hear from friends all the time that they're so overwhelmed. When I first started my business (then with just one little one) I used to stay up late and wake up early just to get some work done. I thought that was the definition of hustle. I mean, I really was working hard but I was also so exhausted that I felt like I was burning out every other week. I thought that eventually things would calm down or I would learn to be more productive and figure out this whole balance thing. Truth is, when I took a step back and started taking care of me first, I got way more done. I don't go to sleep late anymore, I eat a healthy breakfast and I clear my head in the morning. Most importantly, I make sure I have energy to tackle my list in the most efficient way possible. Even now with two kids, a husband, a long (loooong) list of to-dos every week, PLUS my business - I'm able to do it all without feeling sooo tired and stressed. Do you have a ritual or routine that helps you prevent burn out & reach your goals? #starttoday #goalsetting #worksmarter

  • Okay guys, the last few hours are here! The lowest price for my Personal Brand Photography session is going away after midnight tonight (PST). So if you haven't contacted me, now is the time. If you've ever felt like... 🔹 you don't know what your brand is or you're lost in something you've created that just isn't you. 🔹 You're not connecting with the clients you want and you don't know why. 🔹 You are talented and do your job well but your online presence doesn't reflect that. ... Then this brand story session is for you. And I'm going to tell you a secret. Right now (at least for 3 more hours) this session is over 75% off. This is a whole new level of service and I'm getting waaay more detailed with how I'm going to be telling your brand story. Getting your feedback while we work together is going to be invaluable for me and that's the reason why I'm doing this. Go to my Photography story for all the details! Or just message me now!

  • Is it just me or does it seem like summer is going to be crazy busy?? So much was going on this week! I've been working with @kayladeanwrites to perfect some new website copy (coming soon!), I had an amazing client meet & greet with a couple that's taking the next step in their small business journey, and I finally got a chance to visit @dubonfloraldesign at their new location in @westfieldvf. It helped a ton to keep reminding myself daily of the intention for my business . It's so easy to get off track when you're busy, but here's a tip! ➡️ Write down your TOP intention/why/goal. Hint: it should also be what your branding revolves around. Once you have it down, put it in your workspace. Whenever you're writing a post or updating your website copy, look at this intention and make sure what you're doing aligns with it. This will help you keep your brand consistent and reach your goals all at the same time! #smallbusinesstips #fridaywinddown #brandingwithpurpose

  • I realized I haven't had my face on here in quite awhile. So here I am! No makeup, messy hair, a little tired, and sadly, undercaffeinated. But hey, that's me most of the time! This year, I've been working hard to love myself more. I've learned it's not about avoiding mistakes, it's about learning from them, because, I hate to break it to you... but they are inevitable. So, I'm accepting failures. Even welcoming them, as crazy as that sounds, because they're really the greatest opportunities to grow. The result is, I'm a little bit more forgiving and a lot more confident in myself and my decisions. I know I can come back from anything. So can you. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #livewithheart #unapologetic #nofears

  • Today I got about the nicest compliment ever from a client inquiry. Her and her husband have had a business for a few years and have never been inspired to get a website or branding until they saw my work. It seriously means so much to me to get feedback like this. 🥰 When you do what you're passionate about, people will take note and the right clients will come to you! ▫️ #clientlove #thrivingthursday #bayareabranddesigner

  • Anyone else get super emotional on Mother's Day? Yesterday I spent the day doing my normal mom-job. You know, cleaning up, chasing tiny humans around, and hoping to get enough things done so I could relax. Then I sat down and started going through all these pictures to post something... and I just lost it. Thinking not only about how much I love these boys and how blessed I am to be their mama, but the journey I've had with each of them. Motherhood is amazing, messy, beautiful, exhausting, and crazy. It will take your breath away and open up your whole world. . So, to all the Mamas in the trenches... ▫️ To the ones soaking in every giggle, wishing they could press pause. ▫️ To the ones figuring out how to do it all and stay sane. ▫️ To all the ones who are about to be moms and discover a love they never knew before. ▫️ To the ones with angel babies and babies that they never got to hold. ▫️ You are worthy. You are a mother. You are amazing. ❤️ . . #thisismotherhood #toallthemamas #youareworthy

  • Guyssss... We are so sick in my house right now 😷 I can't deal. I thought we got through the whole flu season in relatively good shape, but boy was I wrong. So if I'm a little quiet for now, don't mind me, I'm just over here cleaning unmentionable messes and scrubbing our whole apartment down in Lysol. 😂😭 #ihatefluseason #mypoorbabies #sendwine

  • I've been making it a point lately to take my camera outside with me when I'm playing with the kids. Being able to capture the simple moments the way that I see them is just 💓. #alwaysmybaby #everydaymoments #wahmlife
