For parents, this can feel like a difficult balancing act between supporting your child’s growing need for independence while still providing guidance. What makes it even more challenging is the pressure these children face to fit in, perform well, and present themselves in a specific way. With the added weight of unrealistic beauty standards and peer competition, social pressure during this time can leave children feeling anxious, insecure, and disconnected.

"I love that my daughter is everything I'd ever dreamt she'd be. She's one of the sweetest and most loving people I know. She's not afraid to get dirty and is just as comfortable dressing up. She's super smart, very creative, and has a heart of gold."
-Daddy

When my daughter started displaying some symptoms of depression and anxiety, my husband and I turned our attention to her. She didn’t seem her normal bubbly self. She cried more than normal and lashed out in anger and frustration. We made an appointment with our counselor.
Do you want your small business to grow so that you finally have the freedom to live the the life you want? Do you constantly get pulled into tasks that honestly bring you no joy? Is that why you started your small business?
Let’s be honest.
It’s not as if you can just not have high-quality content or not consistently show up online. Here’s why:
Are you a small business owner that doesn’t have the time to get it all done? Do you feel completely overwhelmed and overworked by product photography and the amount of content you daily need to stay afloat in the small business world? Are you frustrated that you have no time to both do all the things in your business and create the personal life you want?
Is time the villain in your story?

Use these techniques to reduce your stress.
Traveling across Texas and the country with preschoolers is no joke. After a few meltdowns (and a few from the kiddos, too 😂), we quickly discovered the learning curve and that we had to get up to speed quickly - for everyone's sanity and health.
Preparing for our trek across the country and knowing that we would stay in hotels and in friends’ guest rooms, I started scrolling through my mental rolodex for all my packing and travel hacks.
You know those busy school mornings where you can’t find little Junior’s shoes or little Lassie’s backpack suddenly vanishes into oblivion? Staying in a hotel easily tops that. All the planning goes out the window and we can’t find anything. Our room easily looked like a Forever21 dressing room at the end of back to school sale.
Our suitcases exploded in our rooms. And we have preschoolers!
We we wanted to do better.

If you haven’t yet found a photographer that instills confidence in you and that you trust to guide you to look amazing and pose you well, I’d love to chat!

Everyone has a story.
She's been told that she'll never graduate, that she'll never make it through high school, that she won't live past 18.
She's proving them all wrong.
