I am three years into being a mom alongside running a small business. I ran my business as a newborn photographer for six years before becoming a mother myself. Becoming a mom has changed the trajectory of how I run my business, how I communicate with my clients, and even the goals I have in mind for my career. I wouldn’t have it any other way. They’ve shaped how I see the world for forever.

Before my kids came into this world I spent endless hours dreaming of all the things I would do with my fantasy family. I would spend hours plotting the memories we would make and adventures we could take with our future children. Lost of what I concocted in my mind came to a halting reality check once I actually became a parent. Full disclosure: I thought I was going to spend my first month of maternity leave on a literal vacation in Hawaii. I quickly realized that this wouldn’t be an option when the realness of birth/ postpartum/ and parenthood settled in. I may have been naïve about the difficulties of parenthood before having kids, but there are also a lot wonderful amazing things I could have never dreamed of. This weekend we went with friends to Guerneville and we laughed together over the chaos of toddlers. I’ve realized that it’s the smaller moments in between that I could have never predicted. It’s not as much about the big adventures and grand plans, but the small moments. It’s Charlie holding my hand skipping, it’s Riley sleeping on my chest in a carrier, it’s looking in the back seat to see two snoozing kids, it’s the “mommy sing!!”, and Riley smiling while bouncing in her jumper. It’s the small things that make a big picture of what family is for us.

Last night I fell asleep while nursing Riley during her dream feed. I was practically asking for it when I decided to nurse her while laying in bed. Im not entirely sure what time she stopped nursing at but I woke up to Charlie standing next to the bed just 👁👄👁. This definitely isn’t the first time I’ve woken up to her face inches from mine, but STILL it makes you jump awake REAL QUICK. If you haven’t experienced this kind of woke up- it’s a small parenting rite of passage.

Sleep 💤. You just don’t realize how essential it is until you are sleep deprived. Shout out to all my new parents out there who are also lacking sleep.

Simply put: I’m exhausted 😴. Both kiddos are sleeping poorly lately causing Eric and I to be awake during odd hours in the night. I’m holding out hope that we hit a goldmine of sleep soon! In the meantime I’m just reminding myself of my favorite mantra, “this is temporary and this too shall pass”.
