There will always be a reason to wait.
Wait until you’re sleeping again.
Wait until you “feel like yourself.”
Wait until the baby phase doesn’t feel so overwhelming.
Wait for the busy season to pass.
Wait until the kids are older.
Wait until life feels a little less… messy.
But what if this is the season you’ll miss the most one day?
The chaos. The connection. The tiny moments that feel ordinary now — but won’t stay that way forever.
Photos aren’t just about milestone moments. They’re about freezing time when it feels like it’s flying.
Stop waiting. Start remembering.

Sometimes I look at this messy little corner of my world — memory cards everywhere, caffeine on standby, sticky notes galore — and think:
Wow. Remember when I wished for this?
The booked calendar.
The amazing dream clients.
The late nights doing something I love.
Past me would be so proud!
Big thank you to all my clients who have been a part of building this dream with me!
