I was just talking to my mama about how when I was pregnant with my first I was worried that I wouldn’t love my baby. Pregnancy felt so foreign to me, I didn’t have that natural connection that everyone was talking about, but oh heavens, that first look, the heavens opened and my heart was flooded with the most intense boundless love I had ever felt. It is that feeling that I love capturing, that new, most profound love. The LOVE was palpable during this sweet in home newborn session & I so enjoyed basking in it for a short time.

Yesterday was doubly heavy, as answering the calls for service always are, but I am so blessed to have been called to do the good work for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. There is so much hardship this year and I know that non-profits are struggling, so if your heart is looking for a place to give and you are able, this organization does amazing work. I personally have served over 100 families over the last five years of service, it is the most difficult and fulfilling work, outs...ide of raising my children, that I have ever done. We are always in need of volunteers, from photographers to community outreach. I am the Area Coordinator for the Sacramento Region and would love to answer any questions you may have about giving your time. A huge 'Thank You" to our amazing area photographers & dedicated dispatcher, you have touched the lives of so many families. https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/donate/

Oh the absolute sweetness...I love the way parents look at their babies, this new perfect person that so fully occupies you heart.

Happiest 12th birthday to my beautiful sweet boy, the day you were born and every day since has been filled with complete and utter joy. I have enjoyed watching you grow into the wonderful young man you are becoming, sweet, kind, generous, wickedly smart, and hilarious. When you were about five years you told me that you had looked down and chose me to be your mom ( and then rode down to earth in a spaceship), I’m so glad you chose me my sweetheart.

Hi! the light is so pretty in the studio & I put on mascara for the first time in months so here ya go, it’s my face y’all!

The little details...those are the small things that slip from memory, the sweet dimples on their hands, the curl of a big toe... such momentary sweetness #rosevillephotographer #rosevillenewbornphotographer #rosevillebabyphotographer #rosevilleca #sacramentophotographer #sacramentonewbornphotographer #sacramentobabyphotographer #sacramento #newbornphotography #newbornphotographer #thatsdarling #motherhood #motherhoodphotographer #nopropsneeded #motherhoodsimplified #makeportraits #takeheartmydear #nothingisordinary #motherhood #momentsinmotherhood #lightinspired #followthelight #chasinglight #thefountcollective #motherhoodanthology #darlingyouareaworkofart #naturalnewbornphotography

One year, it can feel like a lifetime in the middle of it but looking back it seems like if you blink you might have missed it, in 5 years it is still sweetly fresh in your mind a soft reminiscing, in 18 years it is a faded timeworn memory. Take the photos, print them, hold them in your hand, they are precious... they are the reminders of the tiny details that are EVERYTHING #letthembelittle #printsoverpixels #momentsinmotherhood #rosevillephotographer #sacramentophotographer #babiesofinstagram

I read this over my cup of coffee this morning and it gutted me, has stayed with me all day, so here it is... Want to know why Minneapolis is burning? Mama. He called Mama.... At least that’s why I want to burn, why I feel like I could scream until flames rip out of my throat. He has called up great power. I want all of us to turn, all of us who have heard Mama in a store and thought it meant us. It’s time to turn. White mamas, mamas with privilege, you have been summoned. And any of us who have ever cried out Mama, we hear it too, down in our bones. It’s a cry that can’t go unanswered anymore. So Minneapolis burns. And we need to gut all the spaces in our lives where systemic racism has quarter. I think of the other mamas who turned a tide: Emmett Till’s, for one. We speak out of the deep mystery from whence all life springs. My white people: Nurture antiracism in your life like you would a child in your arms, even if you’ve only just heard it named. Learn what it means and how to foster it. Care about it, give it space in your life. Come to understand it, even if it’s difficult and challenges everything. Mama is coming. And the men who make order in the world should be very afraid. Mary Helen Kennerly @mhkennerly #maryhelenkennerly #hecalledmama

I miss making art in my studio, capturing these sweet moments, soft cheeks, little rolls . . . #roseville #rosevilleca #sacramento #milestonesessions #letthembelittle #everydaymagic #rosevillephotographer #babiesofinstagram #nopropsneeded #simpleisbeautiful #naturalbabyphotography

To all of the mamas who’s children we cannot see, who’s hearts beat fiercely with a mothers love, I am wishing you a gentle #internationalbereavedmothersday I see you and I remember your babies with you. #nilmdts #ibmd2020 ... beautiful artwork by @lianalaneart #nilmdtsphotographer
