For the woman who wants to slow down, listen in, and live a little more present this season.

There’s something sacred about a quiet summer morning—before the house wakes, before the day makes its demands. A warm drink in hand, the birds just starting their songs, and a few soft minutes to exhale.

If you’ve been craving a little stillness in your mornings, journaling is a simple way to check in with yourself—and with God—before the noise begins.

Finding joy in the ordinary, one small moment at a time

Let’s be honest—this season? It’s full. It’s loud. It’s sticky.
It’s wake-ups before the sun and snack requests before you’ve had a sip of coffee.

But even in the chaos, there is beauty.
Not the perfectly curated kind—but the kind that catches you off guard, tucked inside the tiniest moments.

Start your day with calm, clarity, and connection—even in the chaos.

If you’re like me—a mom, a creative, someone trying to find a little stillness in a full life—then you know the value of a slow morning. Summer might bring longer days and looser schedules, but it can also be the perfect time to set the tone for how we want to feel.

Lent is a season of reflection, sacrifice, and anticipation—a time of waiting in the shadows before stepping into the light of Easter. As a photographer, I see Lent mirrored in the way we capture images, how light and darkness work together to reveal beauty, and how waiting often leads to the most breathtaking moments.

Spring is a season of renewal, reminding us to slow down and cherish the moments that matter most.

In this post, I share why spring is the ideal time to preserve life’s beautiful details through photography. From outdoor adventures with your kids to quiet family connections, photos freeze time and help us relive those special moments for years to come. If you're looking to capture memories this season, spring mini sessions are a great way to do so!

Balance. It’s a word that seems to be everywhere—especially if you’re a mom, running a business, and trying to juggle a million things at once. The concept of balance can feel like a mirage, always just out of reach. We often imagine it as a perfectly organized life where everything is under control, the house is spotless, the business is thriving, the kids are happy, and there’s even time for self-care. But let’s be real: that kind of balance is a myth.
