Carla // River Story

A handful of weeks ago we searched a riverbed for her best friend who was missing.

Tonight we returned to different waters together and shared laughter, tears, and a whole lot of beautiful magic.

Words don't even come close...

(any images with me in them were taken by the incredible Thomas Gardella)

Lily, 3 // Film

That morning I woke up and realized, this is the last day you will ever be three years old.

Lynne Ann and Her Amazing Family

Lynn made one thing super clear before the shoot, "As long as I have a shot of me with my four children, that's all that matters." Sure I could have posed them all statue-like, or forced smiles, but the thing about motherhood is that it's this incredible beautiful living and breathing experience. It's heart-filled and enormous and alive. It's filled with SO MUCH. It kind of feels just like jumping in a river with all of your clothes on, splashing and laughing and kind of a mess sometimes, but always just loving your way through.

Tonight has left my heart SO happy. In a million different ways.
