*I’m obsessed with all things baby. I adore the newborn stage, that first year. Birth stories fascinate and amaze me. Each one is so unique and different and magical all the same. I have had 6 babies and each birth was so very different. When my children are older I would love to add ‘birth photographer’ to my resume.
*Black iced tea is my drink of choice. I drink it all year long, even on those cold and rainy Seattle days.
*I am loyal to the core. On the enneagram I’m a 6 and it often shows.
*My journey to being a mom of many was just that, a journey. We suffered four pregnancy losses (one being a second trimester lost). While I would never wish pregnancy loss on anyone, my rainbow babies changed me to my core. Because of them, I know that babies are a gift not a given and how much of a miracle each child is. For our last loss, we planted a tree in her honor. We call it "Paxton's tree."
*Parenthood is the most difficult thing a person can do. With six children ages 11 and under, I feel like I'm constantly failing. Yet, it is a job I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
*My family loves adventures together. This could be a trip into Seattle for vegan donuts, Bellevue for a great playground, or to a park in the Snoqualmie Valley.
*I'm a Disney nut. If I'm not planning a trip there, I'm figuring out when my family (or just me) can go next. Want to bring your favorite Seattle area photographer to Disney? I'm there, let's go!
