I have been blessed with these four men and fathers in my life: my son-in-law, my dad, my husband, and my brother. Every single one of them are amazing human beings who are faithfully committed to their families, loving and sacrificial. It doesn't get any better than that! May God grant them many years. <3 
Do you feel guilty spending money on "just photos”? Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. I understand this feeling. When I scheduled my own portrait session, I actually felt guilty spending money on myself, until I reminded myself what I was getting in return. Photography is one of the few investments that actually grows in value over time. Think about it. Most of us spend money on experiences that are over within an hour or two. There’s nothing wrong with that! (I have my own guilty pleasures, believe me.) But when it comes to portraits of our family, we often don’t realize how important it will be to us in five, ten, or twenty years. I can’t tell you the number of clients who have come back to me years after their sessions and told me how they look at their portraits every day and how much it means to them. I’m not even sure you can put a value on that kind of thing. You are worth it! #bellavitacreative #inskagit #skagitvalley #childhoodunplugged #mountvernonwaphotographer #yourkidssmile #pnwphotographer #skagitcounty #skagitphotographer #childrenfineartphotography #theportraitmasters #skagitvalleyphotographer #childportraits #fineartchildrensphotography #magicofchildhood #skagitcountyphotographer #fineartchildrensportraits #skagitvalleyfamilyphotographer #skagitvalleyphotographer #cpcfeature #couturechild #childrenofinstagram #best_orange #letthemexplore #internationalkidmodelmagazine #portraitmasters #findingmagiccommunity #classicportraits #skagitphotos #Skagitkids #findingmagiccommunity #bestkidsportraits #theportraitmasters #portraitmasters 
This image means so much to me. It was the first time I styled my own shoot. Before that, I didn’t have enough confidence in my own creativity to make the plunge. I admired many other photographers, but allowed my mental blocks to keep me from exploring my own style. My model, sweet Harper, was a dream and so were the dress and the hair stylist and the florist and the venue! After the session, I trusted my instincts more; felt more empowered and fulfilled. Each experience like this spurs me on to keep knocking down those blocks.
