Hi everyone, on the 23rd (Saturday just gone) of June I was in the Bamboo club in Glasgow, in the bamboo club I met a beautiful,sweet,pretty women, who I shared An intimate kiss with, her name was Lauren, she is 22yrs old from Paisley who has the most beautiful blue eyes,she was with her friend Kara,who is a hairdresser in Glasgow.Also a few other people were with her, but I didn’t meet the others.
🙌🏽🙈🙉🗣”Unfortuntley I lost Lauren, she went with her friend Kara to the dance floor and I never seen her again, I was on holiday and had to fly back the day after on the 24th, I never got to say goodbye 🙈😥
🙌🏽🙈🙉🗣”If anyone knows Lauren, or if Lauren your reading this...I looked for you everywhere, and I couldn’t find you, I don’t know why or what happened to you, I didn’t get to say good bye. Do you believe you can fall in love within 30seconds of meeting someone? 🙂❤️

I have learned that stopping to smell the flowers 🌸 means to stop just for a moment… And if we stop, just for a moment, we can see the tiny joys that life brings us, they are always there, but we forget to look for them.
✨Beauty is everywhere✨. This past fall we stumbled upon this trail, the light was shining through the treetops, there were little flowers intertwined in the weeds and the kids automatically felt drawn to this spot. As Jordan and I caught up to them I stopped in front of this area and found profound joy. I soaked it all in and with every ounce of my body knew why they loved it.
It is the simple pleasures of this world that will bring us the most happiness. But we have to be willing to open our eyes to it. When you see beauty all around you, beauty will seek and find you, even in the most unexpected places.
Without Christ, there is no Christmas. Truly, Jesus is the reason for the season. ✨All seasons.✨ Merry Christmas from my family to yours! 🎄❄️
It doesn’t matter what I do tomorrow… As long as I do it with them! ❤️
As our family has grown it amazes me with how negative our society is about having a larger family. The comments we have received over the last year have blown my mind! SO many people have approached us and made jokes that our children must be such a burden… That we can never live a life full of enjoyment or pleasure because of them.
TRUTH is… WE DO! Although it might look differently than others, we do live a life full of adventure. We are always doing something! My kids have traveled more, seen more and done more than most adults have in their lifetime! To be frank we don’t always have a lot of money and it isn’t always easy, but I would NEVER trade it.
Because of my children they have shown me what really matters in this lifetime. They have shown me how to find beauty in the everyday. Beauty in the small things because let’s face it… There is a lot of commotion and negativity in this world and through them they allow me to see what they do, simple things can bring joy!

✨🎄How to take holiday photos downtown at night🎄✨
1. Create a vision based off of a window display you find! The moment I saw this cute Santa display, I KNEW I had to photograph Gunner there. I saw it while driving and went back a few days later after creating a plan!
2. Use a post-it note to stick to the window! I will admit the first time I went out to take these photos it was a fail. Gunner wanted nothing to do with it. So I brainstormed ideas that would keep him entertained, but wouldn’t be hard to photoshop out. The sticky note worked great. I could stick it where I wanted Gunner to look and he would reach for it. We made a game out of it so he had fun too! Win-Win!
3. Photograph the display! Photographing the display through the window adds to the story you are trying to tell.
✨Have questions?? Comment below and I will answer!✨
They are beautiful, kind, generous, hilarious, energetic, and joyful kids and I cannot believe that God chose Jordan and I to be their parents. Although having 5 kids can be challenging and exhausting, I wouldn’t change it. I truly love them a little bit more everyday. ❤️
& the best part… When I travel for work… They get to come too!

DIY REVERSE TIE DYE TUTORIAL -
Three years ago the kids and I started reverse tie dying everything we could get our hands onto. Although bleach is a toxic chemical, if you take the right safety precautions, I bet you will fall in love with it just like we did!
✨ 1 : Gather your supplies. You will need bleach, a water source, rubber gloves, large squeeze or spray bottle, plastic or something to protect the surface you are pouring onto, rubber bands, face mask/glasses, plastic bin or bucket, clothing and a washer/dryer.
✨ 2 : Set up your tie dying station outdoors. You will need a well-ventilated area to do it in since bleach produces toxic fumes. (I am not a doctor. I am not responsible for any health or safety issues that could arise from you doing this)
✨ 3 : Lay out a piece of plastic as shown in the video. I have used cardboard before. *Do not wear clothes you care about!*
✨ 4 : Gather the clothing you want to dye! We love going to the thrift store. If you don’t want to visit the thrift store, another great option is your closet! Use clothing you are bored of or that has a stain or two. We also love using guys sweatshirts from Walmart!
✨ 5 : Next, shape your clothing by scrunching, folding and or twisting it. Then wrap the rubber bands around that area to secure it.
✨ 6 : Prep the bleach solution in a well ventilated area. Most people recommend 1 part bleach to 1-3 parts water solution. I personally just pour the bleach directly onto the clothing because I have experience. You will get a much different effect doing it my way than with a spray/squirt bottle. All ways are fantastic and unique! After prepping, put a face mask, eyewear and gloves on.
✨ 7 : Place clothing onto plastic and start pouring/spraying your bleach solution onto the clothing! Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
✨ 8 : After reaching desired coloring, take water (I use the hose outside) and thoroughly rinse the clothing. Take rubber bands off and rinse again to get excess bleach out.
✨ 9 : Place items in a bucket and transfer them to the washer. Wash items in cold water with detergent. Use a dryer if desired.
✨ 10 : Once dry, go show off your incredible new creations!!!

When it comes to newborn sessions... Do you love posed in-studio, in-home/lifestyle or a combination of both!? ✨Take your vote & comment below!✨
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the combination of both!
Haven’t ever done an in-home lifestyle session? No Problem, here are some tips that may help!
✨1. When in the clients home, try and find the most well lit space. Natural light will be key in making the session feel organic and authentic! Don’t be afraid of those shadows or moody vibes! (I typically have my clients send me photos of their home prior to the session.)
✨2. Communication prior to the session is IMPORTANT! Have your clients put away any distracting items; cords, clutter on tables or counters and keep it simple! And turn up the heat!!
✨3. Utilize natural colored clothing and bedding! Neon or bright colors can transfer onto skin tones and cause unflattering light. This will save you hours of editing.
✨4. Don’t overthink it! Keep it simple! In-home sessions are supposed to feel organic, in their own element and timeless! You can pose in buckets, on pillows, in the parents arms and still keep it relaxed! Scroll through this series of photos to see what I mean!
✨5. Let the baby take the lead! I love letting the baby do what it does best! BE A BABY! Get photos of it crying, yawning, sleeping and snuggling! These are all moments we as mamas want to remember!
✨6. Last but not least… Be yourself! Go in with a plan, create a few new poses you want to try and go for it! Always try to create something new for yourself, your client and your portfolio!
✨Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will…✨
You have to believe in your infinite potential because your only limitations in life are those that you set upon yourself.
If you believe in yourself, your own abilities and potential, you will be surprised to see how many others are standing there cheering you on as well!
You are worthy of all that you dream of, hope and strive for. You don’t need to let self-doubt hold you captive because the worst enemy to creativity is not believing in yourself.
Life is about creating yourself, not finding yourself. And this journey isn’t meant to be taken alone, allow others to seek the light within you because we all need each other.

I have thought about writing this post time and time again and I can never find the right words to say. I can feel them, but I don’t know how to express them.
Last year I had the privilege of creating what felt like ✨magic✨ with this incredible family. The session was SO unbelievably powerful and honestly has forever changed my life. This power that Wren and her family gave me will continue to live on and will forever be embedded into my soul. There will never be enough ways to express my gratitude towards the Lord for putting this family into my life when he did. I needed them…
I woke up this morning thinking about your mama, your family and felt impressed to write this post.
With a heart filled with flowers, 🌷 that is how I will remember you. Be like a flower that survives the rain, but uses it to grow. Fill your family's life with flowers in abundance and allow them to recognize your warm embrace when the sun hits their face each and every day! ☀️ You will bloom with the flowers year after year and be a light of sunshine in everyone's soul.
I love you, always and forever!

✨Homeschool/Life hack - Read Caption!✨
Everyday can be a challenge when it comes to choosing how to spend each moment. Each day you have the time to do the things that are most important. However, you will have to choose between what you need to do and sacrifice something you want to do. It is all about balance and having the proper attitude! Your perspective is truly what can make your day’s filled with joy.
At some point throughout my adult years I started to despise winter. (Which was not the case in my child/teen years) It got to the point where I sat inside day in and day out, unless I needed to go to the store. After years of missing out on the kids experiencing what winter has to offer, I changed my perspective! Now it wasn’t easy…But for the last three years we have widened our horizons, been open to new experiences and have LOVED what winter has offered us. *I will say homeschooling has also played a major role in this change of attitude.*
We have learned how to dog sled, snow shoe, kick sled, ice fish, cook outdoors, ice skate, observe nature in ways we didn’t know were possible and so much more. Our homeschooling journey has come a long way, but taking advantage of what comes around every year has changed our lives!
Winters can be long, boring and dull. But through positivity and a change of perspective we have learned that time is a gift, we cannot control it, but we can choose how we spend the time we are given. We have learned more through this journey than I could have ever imagined!
Ask me anything about our new found love for winter and or our homeschooling journey! I am happy to answer what I can!

Moment of truth…
✨YOU have the power to change someones life.✨
To tell you the truth, I have found it pretty hard to want to show up online, especially after being disconnected for almost a year and a half. It doesn’t mean that I don’t want to be here… Because I want to show up for YOU more than ever right now! But it is definitely a lifestyle and time management adjustment to be able to show up here on a consistent bases!
Now for the real reason I am writing this post! Over the weekend I started to question what the purpose of posting was if Instagram wasn’t going to share my posts with others. From there it of course became a stumbling domino line of questioning everything I am doing business wise… Until I went to church on Sunday…
As I was catching up with others in the hallway, a beautiful soul approached me and mentioned how she was so happy to see my posts again. That they were her daily inspiration. YOU GUYS… Do you understand the power her words had and the impact they made? They were life altering for me! 🥰
Do you understand the power and impact you can have? One single smile, one hug, one compliment, ONE OF ANYTHING can change the way someone feels. Because of her I am posting yet again today!
It takes courage to show up, let ourselves be seen and share our love with others! But it is worth it!

BE HONEST : Are you living a life you will remember? 📣
Children change our lives, they may make our lives a little more hectic, stressful, busy and complicated. But more importantly, they make our lives better in more ways than we can count. Yesterday as we were pushing through some tantrums my mom reminded me that my children chose me and I chose them before coming to this earth. 🌎
That’s pretty powerful! There are thousands of children in the world, and I feel lucky enough to be a mother to the kids I have. We only have our children for a brief moment in life and I can honestly say we are making the best of it! Even on our darkest of days, our kids are still what puts a little light back into our lives.
The day each of them came into the world, I knew we would create a life we would remember! ✨Because it is up to us to create the life we want! Happiness doesn’t have to cost a thing!✨

Life is made up of moments… So many miraculous moments! However, most of the life we live, we won’t remember. But what we will remember are the moments that impact us the most!
Just like a photograph… When you capture a moment in photography it is so much more than just a photo. It is a moment in time that more than likely will impact us for the rest of our lives! They are details filled with emotions that we never want to forget! They are seconds frozen in time that we can revisit long after our memory has forgotten.
I took these photos when Gunner was 3 weeks old and they bring me right back to that day. They refresh my memory so I am able to live them all over again! 🥰
If you aren’t getting in front of the camera, get in front of one! Take out your cell phone, hire a professional or simply utilize what you have… Take photos of what matters most in your life and be a part of the moments you want to remember! 📸

Life is short… Our days are numbered. ✨So I dare you to start living the life you have dreamed for yourself!✨ Go forward with the intent of making your dreams a reality!
Did you know that my professional life is closely aligned with who I truly am in my personal life? From the art that I produce to the places I travel, it all aligns with who I am as a person! That is why I can authentically say that I love being myself in the career that I have built. 🥰
Did you know that your dream life is yours to build? No one else can build it for you! That is the beauty of it. As I have navigated my career path over the years my dreams have shifted many many many times. And within the last few years they have drastically shifted to a point where I am now currently manifesting new hopes, dreams and endeavors, so that I can show up differently here on social media and for my family!
I am here because I want you to know that you can have your dream job and dream life at home if you choose to. It isn’t always rainbows and sunshine but you have the choice each and every day to live the life YOU want.
✨Comment below and manifest something positive you've been dreaming of!✨

They say “The little things in life matter more than anything else.” 🥰
And I am here to say that the BEST things in life are FREE. 🤩 It truly doesn’t take much to be happy. People who succeed at the highest level are not lucky… They simply choose to have a mindset that separates the best from the rest.
I used to always use the excuse of “I will be happy or can enjoy life when I am done with…” And let's be honest!!!!! In life things are NEVER done! So I changed my mindset and started to appreciate the pleasures that life brings, however small or big, when they are in front of me rather than waiting for the kids to be perfect or all of my “to-do’s” are completed.
Appreciating the little things in life means that you focus your attention on what fulfills you, futures and sustains you. Allow yourself to take time daily to appreciate what you have because I promise we sometimes underestimate the influence of the “little things”.
✨Comment, share and save this post as a daily reminder that you are in charge of your mindset!✨
✨Before you can attain the life of your dreams, you must define what kind of life you want. But whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows!✨
📣 Sound on!

✨THANK YOU✨ from the bottom of my heart ❤️ for all of the congratulatory messages regarding our pregnancy announcement! You guys never cease to amaze me and I am so thankful I have a platform I can come back to that fills my cup with encouragement, love and kindness!
I want to start the week out with this reminder - ✨Be kind, be thoughtful, be genuine, but most of all, be thankful.✨
Comment below and tag someone you are THANKFUL for today! I dare you 😉
✨WE’RE EXPECTING BABY # 5! 🍼✨
If it wasn’t for you… Any of you, my darlings… I wouldn’t be as strong as I am right now. When you become a mother, you stop being the picture and start being the frame. 🖼
In less than 10 weeks we will be welcoming another baby into our family and we feel so incredibly blessed that the Lord has chosen us to be parents to 5 beautiful kids. 🥰 We’ve learned over the years that our children are truly what life is all about. Our adventure is truly just beginning! ❤️

Often we photograph what we think others may like, and what others might find interesting… However, that isn’t the best strategy to follow. 🖤🖤🖤
✨Photograph what compels you, what stirs emotion, creates memories, and is simply an extension of yourself.✨
Photography is a way of feeling, connecting and loving ourselves and those we photograph. Don’t worry about what everyone else likes or dislikes… Because your “following”/clientele will follow you to the ends of the earth because they love, adore and believe in who you are. Don’t pretend to be something your not! 🖤
✨Are you working on anything for YOURSELF right now?!✨
