the {Shaw} family...

Few things make my heart sing quite like this session y’all…

“Never forget how wildly capable you are...”

Can i get some love for this gorgeous mama and her miracle baby girl? Aren’t they dreamy just whirling in the failing light?!?

When i look at this image of the lovely Lindy and her precious girl, I feel insanely proud.
1) It has taken blood, sweat, and tears to get to the level that I am able to tell YOUR stories with my camera.
2) i finally can explain with my lens what I never could with my heart.
3) I have been so unbelievably blessed with heaps of STRONG, CAPABLE, and beautiful women as clients and friends. It is my sacred privilege to document their bonds.

You would never know to look at this image that this baby was FOUGHT for- prayed for- loved through fear and tears as she fought in the NICU for months after her birth. These precious parents have fought for YEARS to be able to have some “normalcy” in their routines and this is a dream come true for this strong woman to have enough time just to snuggle her baby for a photo shoot.
We never know the strength that lies within us until we need it...

What’s something you want to do but don’t feel “wildly capable” enough to do it?!?

This is your permission, sweet friend, JUMP and DO it!


It was hard to be anything but ALL there for this lovely family. The weather was perfect, the scenery, same... even sweet baby R was having the time of her life as we played among the wild grasses and sandy shores at our session.

I could have never ever in a million years imagined this talent and life that has become my reality, and it came from JUMPING and trusting my Heavenly Father, my husband, and myself.
