Photography for me runs so much deeper than making memories

Over the years as photography has evolved and changed...

As we've all been gifted these amazing cameras on our phones...

As my life has take twists and turns...

As my kiddo has grown from baby to pre-teen...

I've realized that when I pick up a camera something inside me shifts, and I feel good

Even if my photos are terrible, I feel good inside

There is an intentional shift...

Somewhere during pandemic life that days started to all string together and feel the same. So I just stopped capturing everything.

When I open up my feed I see random meme screenshots, a few silly videos my kid recorded for her you tube channel, and items I photographed to sell on our local community boards.

Sprinkled here and there are a photo of my dogs, or dinners, or unexpected family outing. But those are few and far between.

It's been a hot minute since the Capture What Matters podcast has been in your feed.

In full transparency, pandemic life turned everything in my world a bit upside down.

I've been focused on unschooling my daughter and giving any of my leftover capacity to our Momtography club community.

Rewinding a bit ....waaaaaaay back in 2020 I had big dreams for Momtography Club.

I've been thinking a lot lately about what I'd like life to look like when this is all over.

Right now, life is NOT normal.

Our routines and schedules are being tested big time.

When I scroll through my news feed, I see stories of moms trying to make sense of the wacky, cooped-up home-life that we are all trying to navigate right now. I see mom's trying desperately to homeschool – trying to make sense of the distan...

Never in my wildest imagination did I expect to be broadcasting right now while quarantined at home. 

We're currently on day 13 of my daughter being home from school, and our governor here in Virginia just made the call that schools will be closed until the fall. At the very least, a lot of our friends and their kids are grieving.

Three years ago, our daughter was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety.

Surprisingly, my reaction was not one of sadness or fear or worry. My immediate reaction was one of relief.

Our kiddo's diagnosis brought me relief because it gave me permission to honor and advocate for who she is. Her diagnosis reminded me how lucky I am t...

I am not a Barbie mom.

The reason I'm not a Barbie Mom is that when my daughter asks me to sit and "play" with her– whether it be with her Barbies or lego or stuffed toys–I freeze.

Imagination is not my superpower.

And...I don't think I'm alone in this.

Quick: what would you do with 10 minutes to yourself?

Just 10 minutes to connect with the blissful peace and quiet you crave. 

We know we need it. But how often do we actually give ourselves that time?

I want to let you in on a little secret. If you aren't giving yourself this time, yo...

Mom guilt. 

My guess is that you are no stranger to the complicated feelings of self-doubt, shame, and uncertainty that come with raising kids.

The guilt creeps in in all sorts of ways. 

You find yourself endlessly wondering: am I doing this right? Am I ruining my child? Will this be t...
