Motherhood Portrait Event

I am always looking for a way to celebrate other mommas. We work hard. So, so hard. Being a mother is the hardest, most rewarding thing I've ever done, and I'm pretty positive most of you feel the same way.

We are working 24 hours a day. Our brains and our hearts never truly rest. We run the calendar, we run the carpool, we run the meals and the playdates and the school events. We know when they last ate and when they last pooped. They cling to us and cry for us. We love them so deeply it aches. We are often exhausted and cringe when we hear "MOMMA" being yelled from the other room again. We take a 3.5 minute shower, allowing us a split second to cry and regroup and focus.


::I see you there:: 


I see you putting everyone's needs in front of your own. I see your worried eyes, and I watch as your brain thinks through 3 other things as you try to carry on a conversation.

Let's breathe together for a minute. Slow the clock. Let me hold space for you.


::Stop the clock::


Come snuggle.

Come hug.

Come laugh.

Come hold.

Come nurse.

Come love your babies. 

Accept the chaos. Embrace the chaos. Treasure the chaos. It's not going to last.

A Celebration.

I sometimes have these grand ideas that swirl and tumble through my head all night long for many, many weeks at a time. Sometimes they fizzle out. Other times, they won't. These would be the ideas that I refer to as 'projects'.

In my head, projects are defined as this:

An activity, event, or creation that I would like to see completed at some point in my lifetime.

Being that I am a 97% natural light-using photographer, these wicked cold months are usually filled with new marketing ideas, some new branding possibilities, tax preparation, and warm fuzzy socks.

For 2014, I want more.

I have decided to take my less active months and use them to benefit others. Women, specifically. It is time for all women to look at themselves and see nothing but beauty. It is time for us to come together to lift each other up. It is time to put down the airbrushed magazines and start looking at who we really are. To really see each other as amazing, elegant, powerful, intense, natural, and passionate celestial beings. We are women. We are fierce. We are strong. And we are abso-freakin'-lutely gorgeous.

Now, back to these projects...

Celebrate yourself and each other. It is urgent.
