I recently had my first branding session, and during our consult she told me that she was drawn to my work for the realness, the honesty, the emotions. No matter who’s in front of my lens, a family, a child, my own kids, my approach to capturing you is the same! I love genuinely interacting with you, getting to know you. We talk. We laugh. You relax. That’s when your personality shines through. ✨ . #sc_theme406 #tpn_everyday #t_c_c_emotive #honestly_purejoy 
It still amazes me when change happens with a routine. I talk often families as I’m photographing them and their littles, that just as something seems to be working, it changes. My son has always been pretty content at bedtime, though it can take awhile to fall asleep, he’s always been calm for the most part. But last night was the second or third time recently that he got really mad at bedtime, yelling that he doesn’t want to go to bed and getting in and out of bed😭 I know he’s tired and fighting it, but just pausing to recognize the change. Because life is really an ebb and flow. So if you have had changes with a routine, know that you’re not alone moms and dads. We’ve got this! . . #sc_theme406 #tpn_everyday #t_c_c_emotive #honestly_purejoy 
Happy it’s Friday and the sun has been out two days in a row!! I just love an expressive, alert little babe too☺️💛 I just sent this mama her beautiful gallery, and I can imagine the feelings it will bring up. It’s amazing how quickly they change the first few weeks of life. Already, they won’t fit so tightly in your arms. It’s my job to preserve this time, just as it is. My time hop reminded me of my son again at 10 months old, and although he had pudgy cheeks and curls, his joy and light are exactly the same. Looking back on images I hope you’re able to not only see the change, but also the similarities. #tpn_everyday #cai_love #cs_mood #tc_ohmyheart 
As I buckled my son into his car seat this morning, surrounded by so much snow, I thought, “I can’t wait until it’s spring and getting in the car is easier!” I feel like NY winter has been harsher this year, with snow every week, sometimes multiple times a week! We have been getting out and enjoying it much more this year. We’ve had tons of sledding days and even went for a long hike last week. Having kids makes me enjoy it more, which I’m thankful for, but I’m ready. I’m ready for spending more time outside, not bundling up in snow gear, and definitely more sun. Who’s with me?!🙋♀️ #tpn_everyday #cai_love #cs_mood #tc_ohmyheart 
I remember when we finally were able to bring my daughter home from the NICU (she was born at 31 weeks) I was terrified. Going from her being hooked up to monitors and nurses and dr near by 24/7 to just us was so scary. I was scared something would go wrong. I recently read another mom share how her and her husband stayed up those first few nights to watch their baby sleep just to make sure she was still breathing. At first I was surprised because my immediate thought was that’s so silly. But then I realized, no matter what you’ve endured to bring them earth-side, and the challenges the first weeks or months may have brought, every new parent experiences the same feelings. We are all scared shitless at first. It’s such a huge responsibility caring for another little life. When I had my son, that same worry wasn’t as strong though. I knew how important sleep was for both of us. So to all the new moms and dads out there; you are doing an amazing job. Worry but don’t let it keep you up at night. Get some zzzz’s 🙏 . . #dym_allyouneedislove #hoto_thisbeautifullife #tc_ohmyheart #cai_love #momtog_details #ts_reflections #cs_mood
