Beautifully Said

Oh. My. God.

I've been searching the interwebs looking for more information on how to create experiences of love for my clients. I hit the motherload. Canadian photographer Jesh De Rox...

"Every moment of my life is precious. Therefore, every moment of my life

is worth spending doing something that feels really damn good.

That makes the heart grow."

How perfect is that? And he calls this genre of work "Beloved." I just love that. All the tenderness and caring that word conveys.

When I think about how meaningful it was for me to make portraits of Tessa, how meaningful it was for her to have the experience, I just want to do that. All. The. Time. And I can think of no greater gift I can bring to someone.

A mother that works so hard she barely has time to tuck her kids into bed at night, let alone really sit and be with them. A couple that's been married for awhile now and forgets what it's like to truly see one another.

To be able to provide a space out of time when people who love one another can stop time and see each other again. That's what I want to do. And I also think that's what the world needs right now. More connections. More space. More time. And most importantly, More Love.

And what's most wonderful to me is that these moments occur all the time. Every day. There is such simple yet shocking beauty in our lives.

Two of my forever friends. One snuggles her son to sleep...

The other kisses her daughter goodmorning...

I can't wait to put this into action on a broad scale. To call forth and remind people of the beauty that is already right before them.
