Heading outside today and not coming back in until the sun goes down! ☀️ vitamin D, here we come!

In recent conversations, I have been asked what gets me through these uncertain days. And all I can say, is THIS FACE. This is the face of my MIRACLE child. His eyes gleam with possibility, his imagination is full of worlds to explore and create in, his smile can make the darkest days seem like a mid-summer dream. He is full of promise and hope. He has a whole life of adventures ahead of him. He has a heart of gold and the most sensitive and intuitive soul. He is the reason why I have chosen to smile when all else tells me differently. HE is the reason for everything. Today I started a 30 day quarantine photo challenge that I created for myself. It’s my form of a diary, and a way to get some bottled up emotions out. Don’t let this crisis steal these days from you. Let’s take them back! Comment below if you’d like to join my photo challenge, and spread love throughout our feeds. 🖤✨

✨THE BEST IS YET TO COME ✨ I’ll be the first one to admit, that when this all started, I had selfish thoughts. I thought about all of the sessions/ weddings I had to postpone. I thought about the lost income. I thought about all the moments I wouldn’t get a chance to be part of. I thought about lost laughs and times spent with family and friends. But in this time of solitude, I have learned SO much. I have learned that we are NOT in control of what goes on around us. We are only the makers of our own thoughts and actions. I’ve learned that our community truly DOES love one another as a whole. I have learned who truly cares for me and my future, and sadly, who doesn’t. I have learned that the gift I have, is what people are holding onto most. They are reliving their lives through my images. They are cherishing these times even MORE than ever before. I’ve been thinking a lot about how I will conduct business once this pandemic is over. I want to commit to donating a portion of my annual income to those less fortunate. I want to be part of the change in the world. I want to help others connect on a whole different level. Even though this downtime was definitely not planned, it has been good for my soul. It has reconnected me to what really matters most. What have you learned in these uncertain times? Drop it below! Let’s spread love, positivity, and hope. ❤️

What I’ve learned so far in quarantine: the days go by fast, but the weeks seem to feel like eternity. Each moment that passes, I realize how quickly I can fall down the rabbit hole of “what if’s”, as I’m sure we all do. Here are the things that bring me back to this very minute: a belly laugh from my little boy, taking the time to work on a project, playing toys and games, video chatting with family and friends, getting lost in a song while cooking a meal, and taking the time for a little self care. My days are full of a rollercoaster of emotions. But the things that get me through them, sure do mean the most. 🖤 stay safe, friends.

When it seems almost impossible, know that LOVE, will always find a way. ❤️ As I upload my last gallery to be sent off, I can’t help but feel a sadness in my heart. The uncertainty of not knowing the next time I’ll be able to work.. not knowing where this will leave our economy or our futures. But then I remember, LOVE will endure all things, and together, we WILL get through this. ❤️🍃✨
