It wasn’t long ago that I was snuggling my newborn son, memorizing every little sound and stretch. Now he’s two and I find myself wondering how we got here so quickly. Somewhere in between those seasons, something tugged on my heart. A desire to preserve all stages of motherhood as the realization set in that this moment, and all moments, are fleeting.

Forced smiles aren’t my thing, and I’m guessing they’re not yours either. What I do love? I’m drawn to the quieter moments. The warmth of a toddler pressed against your side, the soft weight of a newborn sleeping on your chest, the laughter that floats through your home on an ordinary day. These are the pieces of your story that matter. Whatever season you’re in, it’s worth remembering just as it is. And yes, we’ll take a few classic portraits along the way, but the heart of it all will be the real, in-between moments that say the most.
