Some Mondays we all need this reminder… ✨ You are

Some Mondays we all need this reminder…

✨ You are amazing.

Not because of everything you do.
Not because of the roles you fill.
Not because of the expectations you meet.

You are amazing simply because you’re you.

You were never meant to fit into one box. You can be strong and gentle, ambitious and present, creative and practical—all at the same time.

Here’s to celebrating every chapter of your story. 💛

What is one thing about yourself you’re proud of today?

Does your child have a pet who is basically their

Does your child have a pet who is basically their best friend?

I’m working on my Simply Me: Kids and Pets Edition, and I’m looking for families who want to celebrate that once-in-a-lifetime bond between a child and the pet they love.

The snuggles, the silliness, the personality and the way they look at each other right now.

Send me a message with PETS and tell me about your child and their furry best friend.

One day, you’ll want to remember exactly how small

One day, you’ll want to remember exactly how small they were together.

The child who whispered secrets into floppy ears.
The dog who followed them from room to room.
The cat who somehow became part of the family story.
The little moments that feel ordinary now but will mean everything later.

I’m working on my Simply Me: Kids and Pets Edition, created for children and the pets who love them.

If your child has a special bond with a pet, I’d love to hear about them.

Send me a message with PETS, and tell me their story.

The giggles. The snuggles. The silly little habits

The giggles.
The snuggles.
The silly little habits only they understand.
The way a child lights up when their best furry friend is nearby.

I’m working on my Simply Me: Kids and Pets Edition, and I’m looking for families who want to celebrate this sweet season before it changes.

Maybe it’s your child and the dog who follows them everywhere.
Maybe it’s the cat they insist is their best friend.
Maybe it’s the pet who has been part of every bedtime, every backyard adventure and every growing-up moment.

These sessions are about personality, connection and creating artwork that helps you remember who they are together right now.

If this sounds like your child and their beloved pet, send me a message with the word PETS, and tell me about them.

I’d love to hear their story.

Looking back at last years of my Parachute Gown se

Looking back at last years of my Parachute Gown sessions…our annual session have become such a powerful traditions for my clients. To some, the gown represents a fresh start. To others, it’s an appreciation of how far they’ve come.

I only have room for 3 women to join me for this year’s project. If you have been curious, missed it in the past and want to get in or know more this year it’s that time

DM me “Celebrate” and I’ll send you details and be first for a sneak peak of this year’s color!
