It’s June.

New week, new month, halfway through the year ✨ and if I’m being honest, I feel behind.

Behind on galleries. Behind on emails. Behind on life.

Every sunrise work session, every late night edit, every moment I pushed through the overwhelm wasn’t just because I love what I do.

It was for her & for her brother ❤️

Watching Mia compete this weekend reminded me why I say yes to the early alarms and the hard weeks. She doesn’t know it yet 🫂 but both my kids are my whole reason.

To every mom out there running a business on fumes and determination, you are not behind. You are doing everything. And that is enough.

You will catch up. You will deliver. You will show up. You always do.

Happy Monday. You’ve got this. 🤍

She turned ONE. And she made sure everyone knew it. 🎂✨

There’s something about a baby’s first bite of birthday cake 🥰the scrunched nose, the frosting-covered fingers, the pure chaos 🙈 that no one can scroll past.

If you’ve been dreaming of a cake smash session for your baby’s first birthday, this is your sign. I would love to create something this beautiful for your family here in San Diego.

Book your baby’s first birthday session by sending me a DM. 🎀
