Relatable

So I get a call from Maya. She’s just had a new baby, her second, and she is unsurprisingly exhausted. She knows she wants to capture this transition beautifully, but she also wants it to be EASY. She asks if we could do a lifestyle newborn family session in her home, and I’m delighted.

As we talk, she reveals she has a 3 year old that is, shall we say… a powerhouse. And that she can be a bit rough with her new baby… Ben.

I’M SORRY, SAY WHAT??

Because I’m pretty sure that it was exactly five years ago that I, exhausted to tears, told people that my rambunctious 3 year old daughter loved her baby, Ben, “aggressively.”

Ohmigosh. We. Are. The. Same.

Needless to say, I felt trained for the job!

What’s great, coming in as the better rested outsider, is that I was much more equipped this time than with my own.

They were delightful. Really, truly delightful.

Does it make me long for the days, when my two were exactly like this? For a moment. And then, nope. I’m so thrilled to watch mine become real little humans.

It’s really remarkable to reflect, via my clients, my own journey thus far, and get to witness theirs.

This (unedited) is the mockup for their 20x30 semi-gloss metal in their kitchen. The one of the two kiddos will be a metal in their playroom, and the other two are prints to be framed in the home.

The finished installation!
