Making Memories

IMG_8722

It is the first weekend of Autumn 2017, and the temperatures were a sweltering 90 degrees today in Pennsylvania. That didn’t stop this family from enjoying some time together at the pumpkin farm, though.  These are just some of my favorites from my time with them.

I am a wife and mama to two little miracles from Morgantown, West Virginia. I've had a passion for photography my entire life, but when I had my daughter three years ago, I felt a deep urge to capture her every move. Her tiny baby feet and hands were changing every day, and I wanted a way that I could hold on to those memories forever. Photography is a gift that I provide my family with. I want my children to have authentic documentation of their childhood. I, wholeheartedly, believe that photography is an heirloom. I am living my dream by getting to know other families and telling their story through a series of photographs. I love to learn about, and document, what you love about your family. Babies change fast. The beautiful chaos of life is something you'll want to remember the rest of your life. Helping other families provide an heirloom for their children is my life's mission.

Instagram post 2158285621276548950_12073077 It's Saturday and this little one is leaving for a sleepover. I'm always hoping for a little break, but helping her pack a backpack makes me sad. However, I've got a long evening of work planned and I'm excited to get some things started. First up, a newborn session with the sweetest little rainbow baby today!!
Instagram post 2157572013274073356_12073077 A (sort of) Friday intro: you can't tell here, but my favorite color is actually purple. Someone told me once that I can't wear orange because of my skin tone. Another person told me not to cut my hair because the shape of my face wouldn't suit it. "Wear more makeup-I can't see your eyebrows." "Your cheeks are too bony." " Your bumpy skin is gross." "You're too quiet." " Your laugh is weird." . A friend of mine recently approached me about the possibility of teaching a course about self portraiture for local photogs. Nothing is in the making quite yet, but I'm excited about the thought of it. . I grew up getting along with everyone, but knew the "cool kids" talked about me behind my back. I was a band geek. Boys saw me as a friend not a girlfriend and the 2 boys that did make me a girlfriend decided I wasn't good enough. I struggled with weight and body image and later found myself face to face with an eating disorder. I've grown a lot since then. Self portraiture builds my confidence and teaches me things about myself I'd never know without it. I've found parts of my body that I love. I've found beauty in my smile. I see the woman that my husband and children love. I see kindness and confidence. I like my hair long but I like it short too. My cheeks are slowly growing on me. My quiet nature means I'm thinking, observing. It means I'm a good listener. I'm also pretty funny, and even if my laugh is weird, I love it. I really love laughing. Like the kind that makes my bony cheeks hurt.
Instagram post 2157469143220582345_12073077 I swore up and down that I wasn't go to submit to the DFA this round, but, much like last time, I refuse to let something go. Sometimes I hate my work and want to give up and things like competitions only help to solidify that belief. But at the same time, I realize that not trying isn't going to get me to where I want to be. Some of my photos are good. I have a hard time saying that because it feels like bragging, but being proud of something is different than that. I'm proud of my work whether it's good or bad in someone else's eyes. Submitting was my way of saying "I'm proud whether or not you find this any good or not. See me."
Instagram post 2156926894279518258_12073077 I've been so stressed about business lately. So stressed, in fact, that I have forgotten to think about all the really great things coming my way. I was asked to be part of the Mon Gen Ball of the Year Gallery, I'll be displaying some of my work downtown soon, AND a self portrait class for local photogs will be in the works soon! Those are good things. Sometimes I find myself focusing too much on the bad stuff. Things are happening that I could've never imagined possible a couple years ago, so even if I'm not where I want to be, I know I'm one step closer. What's one things going well in your life?
Instagram post 2156664994690030094_12073077 Would you be surprised to know that children are usually the most authentic people in the room and usually feel comfortable enough around me to display any emotion, happy or sad? I'm sure that usually causes an elevated stress level for the parents, but I welcome it with open arms. Meltdowns are a very normal part of everyday life for families with children.

Instagram post 2156007882628752660_12073077 I met with some parents yesterday who are expecting their first. They booked a session at home because they know their lives will never look quite like this again, and I love that. The realization that life changes and wanting to have photos as a visual reminder is the reason I do what I do. Knowing that there are people out there who feel the same give me a purpose.
Instagram post 2155407468740844166_12073077 Piper woke me in the middle of the night because she had a nightmare about a stink bug. She said every time she went back to sleep the dream would start again so I let her sleep with me. A couple hours later Parker came in because he needed something. I'm still not sure what it was. Less than an hour after going back to bed for the 3rd time Chad woke me up because he was home from work. He usually wakes me so we can talk since we don't see each other any other time. I don't remember the last time I slept all night. It's been a long time. I'm going to start setting an alarm that tells me to go to bed and make a schedule for myself to get work done some time other than 1am. Work from home moms, do you schedule your work/rest time too?
