You are so beyond powerful. Trust me. You are so strong, so determined, so beautiful, so raw. You are so authentic, so kind, and so passionate. Why are you all these things? Because you are a girl. You were carefully thought out and crafted into something special. Trust me, you were made for a reason. Women are such wonderful…

Baby, you are and always will be my child. Baby, you are different from everyone else but different is not such a bad thing. Baby, you are so unique. Baby, you are so strong. Baby, if you ever have days when you feel like giving up know that I am here to help you. Baby, if you ever have days that you feel are the best ones know that…

New life is so amazing. There is something beautiful about bringing a small human into this world. There is something beautiful about having your heart outside your body in the form of a newborn baby. There is something so beautiful about new life, and it deserves a celebration. Whether you’ve delivered many children before or it’s…

Mothers are typically the ones behind the camera. They are always capturing the special moments, instead of being involved in them. The importance of having these memories to look back on is essential, because life is too short. Before you know it, your kids will be having their own, and you will want those photos to be able to share with them…

The way the light kisses your face is so pure and sweet. The way you follow my direction in the studio and look into the camera just so. All I can do is wonder what the world has in store for you, little man. Such wonderful things. You are so small and pure, and look up to everything in the world with such curiosity. You have such a bright…

To be loved is to be free.  Remember when you were a child and you felt so very free?  Where you thought that if you jumped off the table, you could soar? And if you walked into a room, you were authentically yourself, without a care in the world. You were completely confident that you were loved. Let’s get back to that place today…

I want to take a moment today to remind you of something deeply important. If you need some time to read this, find a quiet place and take the two minutes you'll need to soak in every word, mama. Because this is for you. You've been given a gift. It is grace for the days when you shrug your shoulders. Grace for when your heart feels…

Let’s face it, we’ve all been critical of who we are. It is hard sometimes to feel confident if you are living in chaos. Some female entrepreneurs are balancing young families and careers we love. Some are just trying to get through each day making the people around us happy. There isn’t usually time for ourselves. We don't make getting our…

I’m a newborn and family photographer, using natural light during my sessions here in the studio and on location.  That means during your session there are no light stands, no waiting between shutter clicks, just you and your newborn in a room full of beautiful light.  There are a handful of reasons I choose to work with natural light…

Little one, you are so tiny but so perfect. I have never seen anything more amazing than you. You are so much joy cramped into the tiniest, little human. As soon as you came into this world, I made sure you had ten fingers and ten toes. Now that you're growing more and more every day, I want to freeze this moment. This moment right here…

I get a lot of questions about how things work once you’ve booked a session, so I’ve decided to do a blog post on it so you can get a better idea of what goes on behind the scenes here at Reflections of Life. Knowing when your photographer is going to provide you with images or portraits is an important part of the process.  I…

Breathe in deep today. You are loved. Let all the stresses of the day work their way out as you breathe in the reality that you are loved by all of heaven. I’m talking to all the mamas, all the littles, all the husbands, all of you. Your life is valuable. It matters. It counts. You are seen in your rising and in your falling. No matter how fast you run, you’ll never…
