Fall Mini Dates are Live!!

Hi Reader! šŸ‘‹šŸ» I just made it home from 3 days in Disneyland… my love bank (and camera roll) are bursting. And now? I’m repacking my bag for Nashville this weekend. šŸ¤ šŸŽø Touching ground just long enough to unpack, do a load of laundry, and share with you what’s coming up—then off again. āœˆļø I know it’s not much calmer in your neck of the woods either. Life is busy right now. The end-of-year school activities are already piling up. It’s Friday. You’ve got laundry, dinner that needs to be cooked,...

20 years later, this is the only thing I wish we filmed more of

Hey Reader— You’re filming the wrong thing. You’re filming the parade… but missing your kids watching it. On Wednesday, the 5 of us loaded into the car and took a road trip to the happiest place on earth. šŸ°āœØšŸ­šŸ‘‘ Today is Day 2 at Disneyland…Hopper pass day → California Adventure. ā®ļø Let me rewind for a second… A few weeks ago, my parents celebrated their 30th anniversary. So we surprised them. We dug through all their old VHS tapes and stitched together a movie—telling the story of their last...

It’s been too long since your last family photos

Hey Reader! One of my BG Moms texted me the other day and I haven’t stopped thinking about it ... We just updated her family photos at one of my mini session days, because her oldest is about to turn 4 and she is bringing the season of 3 babies under 3 years to a close. 🄹 She texted me saying that she just ordered their prints because in a matter of a weekend ... they had *get this* put an offer on their dream home, packed up the whole house, and listed it. All with 2 littles running around &...

how to take better easter photos (with just your iPhone)

Hey Reader, I wanted to catch you before Peter Cottontail arrives!🐰 Here’s the thing no one tells you about Easter weekend: The moments you’ll want later?They’re usually not in the obvious spots. Just like an egg hunt… Some memories are easy to find.Others? You only get them if you know where to look. Today, I’m sharing a few of my go-to photographer ā€œtricksā€ to help you capture this weekend intentionally. So if you’ve got your iPhone handy—here’s where to point it šŸ‘‡šŸ¼ 🄚 The ā€œwide → tightā€...

What should I create next? šŸ‘€

Hey Reader— I’ve been marinating on something all week long—chocolate, espresso aloha protein bars, and long morning walks… wrestling with my plans for 2026. Maybe this was January's work, but I keep coming back to the same thought: šŸ‘‰ The enemy of the great, is the good. There is only so much time (and I only have so much energy), and I want to make sure I put it toward what will actually serve my BG moms best. What is just good? What would be great? Here’s what I keep seeing lately: moms who...

you’ll miss this someday… but here’s how to capture it intentionally now

Hi Reader, Everyone says, ā€œYou’ll miss this someday.ā€ But no one really tells you how to capture it. Let’s change that. I spent the better part of this week on a ski trip in Breckenridge—snowy mountains, the cutest small town that looks like it’s straight out of a Hallmark Christmas movie, and seeing if my pizza ski stance can keep up with their *fancy* french fry stance. šŸ•šŸ«£ Last year, when everyone else left for the trip, my mom and I stayed back. Because while skiing is fun… it’s hard to...

Make-Shift Motherhood Event—You in? (only 6 spots!)

Hey Reader— It’s a not-so bizarre little piece of advice, that you’ve probably heard before: ā€œGet in the photo with your children.ā€ Your children see you differently than how you see yourself. You might notice the tired eyes or the way your hair isn’t quite how you’d like it—but your kids? They just see mom. The one who sings their favorite lullaby, kisses their scraped knees, and makes the ordinary feel magical. 🄰 One day, they’ll want to look back and see you in the story of their...

that awkward Costco kiosk moment ...

Hey Reader— You’ve been there. The first 10 steps inside Costco, and there’s always someone stationed like a human bear trap—clipboard in hand—waiting to sell you something. And no matter how many other people are around, they somehow lock eyes with you. (It’s a gift, I know šŸ’…šŸ¼) ā€œYou looking for a new phone plan today?ā€ … ay yi yi. I just came for chicken nuggets. Most of us spot the clipboard and instantly pretend to text someone. Or we power-walk past like we’re late for a meeting. Red flag...
