How do you say goodbye to a place that’s been your home for the past 15 years? The four walls holding your memories, witnessing countless coffee dates and all your children’s firtsts… How do you let go of people, steady by your side, during the ups but especially during the lows. The friendly faces, so […]
It’s been on my mind lately. The way, this world is changing so rapidly. We push forward, ideas and ideologies racing toward the future. Innovation can’t help itself. Better, easier, faster… And in the midst, humanity, coming to terms with the happenings around us. Always catching up, always evaluating, pondering in awe. There’s an opportunity. […]
featuring a motherhood session with Ariebel, Lisa & Harlow I marvel at her. Her freckles framing the fierce blue eyes above her little button nose. Wild, long hair, unruly and never to be tamed. Like her thoughts. Her spirit, flapping and spreading its wings, rebelling against small-minded minds and cliches. Filling everything around her with […]

featuring a motherhood session with Valerie & her girls We started school this week. The last days were filled with quiet anticipation and bittersweet longing for more time. More lazy days. Sundrenched afternoons by the pool. Now, the end of August is near. I associate this time of year with flaming sunflowers, ripe, heavy wheat […]
One small word with a universe of meaning behind it. A gateway to a world so complex it’s impossible to understand unless you are living in it. A place where hardship and joy lie close to each other, like strained lovers. “Mama”. Four letters, seemingly simple, yet no other word carries so much weight. I […]
I just spent a heavenly week with my family. A week, that felt like ice cream sundaes and warm summer breezes. Slow, delicious days, like honey dripping off a spoon. Away from work, deadlines, and social media. We went to parks, saw a movie at the theatre, went out to lunch. Swam in the pool. […]
I am the best mama for my children. That’s the mantra I keep silently repeating in my head when things get tough. When I lose my cool. Which happens more times than I’d like to admit. As I am writing this, my daughter has been interrupting me four times so far. Four times, my thoughts […]
