All you need is good light and emotion. And tea. Must have tea.

Hi, friends! Using this Monday as a push to get back in the swing of things ❤️.
-
I’ve been busy photographing all kinds of wonderful people and prepping for a busy summer.
-
I’ll be continuing on with my marketing lives- picking up where I left off. So expect that this week, too!

The last time I saw my mom before rushing Loa to t

The last time I saw my mom before rushing Loa to the Seattle vet, I told her I was scared of the grief. I told her I was scared it would make me cynical and hard.
-
Thirty minutes later, on the ferry on the way to the city with Loa, I laid back to make a soft spot on my chest. I pulled her weak body up and we cuddled there listening to the waves crash into the side of the boat and I cried tears on her soft, fluffy head. -
-
When we got the call that she had died, I hated everyone for just a second. Had there been a wall close enough to me, I would have tried to throw myself through it. When we returned to the house, she still lived there in the corner or my eye or the shadows or the soft click, click, click of her feet following me through the house as she did day after day, month after month and year after year of her short life.
-
We escaped the house and all the places she seemed to peer at us from and arrived home only late at night to fall fitfully into bed each day. Days slid like mud through time and space as I wondered how I now HAD a dog. A dog who, on her tiny back, carried me though many sadnesses and seasons. I buried my face in her blankets and walked teary blind through the woods near my house.
-
Then. An email. About a small someone who also needed a person and could I be that person. Of course not. Not YET. But then I remembered what I have always known to be true about myself: I am better with a dog and I can grant myself that goodness. A tiny, new soul covered in fur is coming into my life for the third time and I am so both so sad to have lost those great dogs but also so, so honored to have known them and loved them and held them and will love this one too. It wasn’t ever losing Loa that would make me hard and cynical, only giving up on hope and love could do that.
-
“Dogs have given us their absolute all. We are the center of their universe. We are the focus of their love and faith and trust. They serve us in return for scraps. It is without a doubt the best deal man has ever made. ” – Roger A. Caras

Thank you all for loving thoughts about the sudden

Thank you all for loving thoughts about the sudden loss of our sweet Loa.
-
This year has been one of learning. This will be our hardest lesson yet- grieving this little soul as a family. It’s very hard. We are all grieving and at times feeling like we are drowning in the same loss but also on our own little islands. The waves hit us at different times. I won’t lie, it’s very difficult to support others when you yourself can barely breathe.
-
Loa died suddenly and unexpectedly, we only got 4 short years of her. I feel full out rage that other people get full lifespans with their pets.
-
We got loa at a time when I was struggling with my own mental health and she was a missing puzzle piece: a bouncing, snuggling ball of sun.
-
I’m afraid of life without her. The way she would rest her head on my shoulder when I picked her up. Her happy, slow licks. Her delighted face to see me even if I’d only been gone for 10 minutes.
-
What does life after her look like? I don’t know. But I’ll miss her oh so mightily. We all will.
-
“If you must leave
Leave as though fire burns under your feet
If you must speak
Speak every word as though it were unique
If you must die, sweetheart
Die knowing your life was my life's best part
If you must die
Remember your life” -Keaton Henson

Your 30’s are great because you can become real cozy with who you are. As a tomboy human, it felt a bit odd to twirl in a dress. But it also felt feminine and fun! Still had to let a bit of boot peek out 👀😍❤️

Before booking a summer or spring session, parents

Before booking a summer or spring session, parents are worried about kiddos being up late at night. I totally get that! In the summer, majority of the kids I photograph are up 1, 2, or even 3 hours past bedtime.
-
Luckily for you, I’m extremely fast and extremely silly! Literally nothing your child does will surprise me or throw me off my game. After 11 years, Ive literally seen it all. (Including that one time a little one dropped a deuce on Dad’s boot 💩 🥾).
-
So don’t let that be the reason you stay out of the frame. Get in the frame, mama.
