I teared up today as I watched the elementary school teachers drive through our neighborhood to say hi to their students. 😭 Despite all the hard things going on in the world right now, there sure is a heck of a lot of goodness.

SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS!

My heart aches for all the small businesses hurting right now and I want to help! If you need anything photographed to get or keep your online sales going or just need content, just ship or drop off your products and I will photograph them. Free of charge - just send me your product and we’ll trade. If you can’t afford to trade, just send a shipping label or Venmo name and I will get it back to you ASAP. I’ll photograph it, sanitize it and you’ll get a gallery of digital images. Let’s take care of each other during this time! 💕

Tag your small/local business friends who might benefit from this!

Throwing it back to happier times (how can SO much

Throwing it back to happier times (how can SO much change in just a week!?) when I got to photograph @handmakingstudio & @cultivate_creative while they painted the new mural at @thesocialclubok for my #motherswhocreate project. These ladies are so incredibly talented. I absolutely love how they’re making #okc more beautiful with their art. 🙌🏻😍 Can’t wait to get their stories together to share with you. .
Thinking of all you small business owners during this challenging time. Sending love and hugs!

The other day I let my 3 year old “drive” the car as we were parked in the Target parking lot. It was normal and cute the first couple of minutes and then all of a sudden he started turning the steering wheel violently while saying “shoot!” and “dang it!” over and over again. Of course my first reaction was to bust up laughing. And then I stopped and realized that I am the one who drives with him 95% of the time. 🤔😬🙈 .
In the words of a therapist I listened to a few days ago, “of course we’re going to mess our kids up. The goal is just to not do it intentionally.” 😂 So we’re just going to learn from this experience and move forward. But for the record, I’m pretty sure I don’t really drive like that. 🤣

We LIVE for Fridays in this house. Bruce created a tradition a while back of making a treat every Friday with the boys and then we snuggle up and watch a movie together. 🤗 This Friday looked a little bit different as we spent the last 3 hours trying to mount our tv above our fireplace. 😒 Every time we attempt to do a project like this I realize it’s probably a good thing we didn’t buy an old fixer upper. 🤣 .
Do you have a favorite weekly tradition in your family? I wanna hear!

This has been one of my go-to poses for young families for years. I’ve always loved the simple composition and the way the parents frame their child. But looking at this photo made me realize why I love it as much as I do. And that’s because of the way children light up when their parents are holding them tight and looking down at them. 😍 It’s simply beautiful. Go ahead, try this with your little one tomorrow and watch the magic happen. 🥰
