These are the days…

I’m a mother to two incredible souls and the journey of motherhood has changed me in more ways than I could have imagined.

My daughter was my first and welcoming her into our lives was the most incredible experience. I savored my time with her (okay let’s be honest, I cried and wanted to flee town sometimes too!) but was also distracted with all that comes along with a new baby. She was on a schedule from a few weeks old, I drove all over the city at all hours of the night to get donor breast milk for her, I could go on and on. Just thinking about it is exhausting!

When she was 3, we were expecting again and this one was a game changer. My water broke at 20 weeks and when I rushed to the hospital I was told that nothing could be done and I needed to terminate my pregnancy. I was lucky enough to find doctors that would let me try to stay pregnant as long as possible (tons of risks but I just felt that he had a life to live). After 3 months in the hospital (during covid) and complications during delivery, I gave birth at 34 weeks to a tiny baby boy. After a 2 month NICU stay he came home to us and is a happy healthy little guy. We couldn’t be more grateful!

This experience led me to see what’s really important to me as I live my life with my family. I don’t stress the small things anymore, I try my best to be present and enjoy, and am acutely aware of how quickly time passes.

This journey of motherhood is precious. It’s raw, messy, so incredibly joyful, and I want to help you capture all of it! The deeply unique and beautiful relationship that you have with each of your babies, the love that you share with your partner… The way it feels to be a mother in this season of your journey. Let’s plan a session that’s unique to your family. You’ll run, twirl, throw rocks, dip your toes in the water, snuggle, and just be together as a family.
