If you haven’t heard about SIMPLY ME — the pro

If you haven’t heard about SIMPLY ME — the project, the experience, the exhibit — please reach out!

Every time I talk to a parent about it, I get even more excited. And every session with these amazing kids? Pure joy. We laugh, play, connect — and create something meaningful they’ll always remember.

I’m editing one of the sessions right now and smiling the whole time.
✨ It’s that good.

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸 This blac

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
This black-and-white image—stirs something deep. A reminder of what the 4th of July truly stands for: hope, resilience, and the courage to begin again.

I’m a 9th-generation Santa Barbaran, with roots in this town stretching back nearly 250 years. And yet, like so many Americans, I’m also the granddaughter of immigrants—both of my other grandparents came from France, met here, and built a life, a family, a future.

We are a nation of dreamers, of doers, of people who show up for each other.
Today we celebrate independence—hard fought, fiercely protected, and belonging to everyone who makes up this beautiful, diverse tapestry we call America.

Let’s honor the past.
Let’s defend the future.
Let’s stand for each other.

✨ There’s nothing quite like it… ✨
The giggles. The twirls. The quiet moments. The bold personalities.

SIMPLY ME sessions are all about celebrating your child exactly as they are — and featuring them in a gallery exhibit this November where they’ll see themselves larger-than-life.

Families have already started their sessions and the joy is real.
This isn’t a model call — it’s a chance for your child to feel seen, confident, and celebrated.

Only a handful of spots left out of 20 total.
📩 DM me today to grab your session!

Motivation Monday 💛
To the Santa Barbara moms—this is for you.

“Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.” — Nishan Panwar

In this world that moves so fast, where headlines weigh heavy and the to-do lists never seem to end—
You’re still showing up.
Still pouring love into your families.
Still holding it all.

Maybe a little tired. Maybe a little worried. But full of heart.
You’re doing more than enough. You are seen.
