Every holiday season, I see parents and loved ones struggle with gift ideas that are valuable to the recipient, yet is not something that will be considered clutter in a few months. A lot of  families are moving towards non-material gifts and instead focusing on experiences that the whole family can share together- a chance to make memories that will last a lifetime. 
I'd like to share with you an idea that a few clients of mine do for their families each year. They gift their family a Day in the Life Session. They choose a day for me to come out and catch the memories that are being made...the opportunity to create art out of their moments. Sometimes they have me come out on a lazy weekend, but other times they combine it with another experience gift they have planned for their family. We could make it fun and exciting! Maybe a special trip to the zoo, the aquarium, the beach, creating a special dinner, a camping trip, a day trip to a nearby city, a family hike, baking, going to their favorite ice cream shop...the options are endless and are tailored to your family. I capture what is special to you. 
I also quickly want to add that adding in grandparents on this experience is about the best thing you could possibly do!

A Day in the Life Session looks different for every family, some are loud and chaotic, some are cuddly and filled with quiet moments. The important thing is that we are making a visual diary for your family. A legacy for generations to cherish.  
It's important for families to be able to express themselves and tell the story of their lives.
Each Day in the Life Session comes with an 8x8 hardcover photo book for you to keep, as well as a gallery of digital images. 
If this session is a gift, I have beautiful gift certificates that are presentation perfect and ready-to-give  adorned with a Christmas ornament. 

If these past few years have taught us anything, it's that we are only on this Earth for a short amount of time and things can change in an instant. We can't afford to wait on making the most out of the time we are given. These past few years we were shown what's really, truly important in life... and it's not material possessions. 
If this sounds like a clutter-free gift experience you'd like to invest in for your family, I would love to speak with you more about it.  ​You can contact me here or use the Contact tab above. I'm happy to send you my Client Welcome Guide- I can't wait to help you tell your story. 

Most of you know, I am a mama myself. I have 3 absolutely precious babies and the oldest is now a pre-teen. Let me tell you a few things I have learned in my years of parenting. There are highs and lows. Days when you feel on top the the world and days when you feel like the world is crashing down on you. But also, those children have the ability to make everything alright with that one look that tells you that you are their everything. 
Time passes too quickly. It is absolutely one of the most heartbreaking things of parenthood. The days can seem so long, but the years go by so, so fast. I always hate the expression "in the blink of an eye" because it's so cliché  ... but it does go by in the blink of an eye and I can't think of a better way to tell you or prepare you for that. There really is no preparation for it.  But what I can do for you is freeze a few of those moments. Capture just a few of those quiet, beautiful in betweens. The moments that make you feel something. The ones that will make you long for one more cuddle. 

There's going to be a day when you won't have that baby at home any more. There will be a day when you drop them off to school. Or even if you homeschool, there will be a day when more time is spent away from you than with you. And that, my friends, that is where the real heartbreak begins. You're torn between being so proud of them for growing strong, curious, and independent...yet, there's a part of you that's so sad. It's a strange phenomenon and it feels so...different. Seasons of change have the tendency to make us feel all sorts of different ways. It can be a real emotional rollercoaster. I'll be the first to admit, I'm not good with change. 
Maybe it's the artist in me, but I think as humans we just find it easier for art to give a voice to our feelings.  I find a lot of comfort in the pictures we have together. I look back at them from over the years and it fills my heart with joy to see the memories we have made, the things I have forgotten. 

Mornings with Mom sessions are sessions specifically designed to document this season of life. These sessions are 1 hour, in home or at your favorite place. They come with a gallery of  10-15 images for you to download and a beautiful, vintage brass 5x7 keepsake hanging frame with a 4x6 gorgeous torn edge heirloom print mounted inside. These sessions are $275 and are only available weekdays from  9am-12 pm during the calendar school year.
