๐ŸŽ€๐Ÿฆข๐Ÿ’— 33 ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿฆข๐ŸŽ€

Today Iโ€™m 33, and Iโ€™m also 31 weeks pregnant. I took these portraits a couple of days ago in front of our kitchen windows to commemorate this sweet moment.

I find myself wanting to reflect on the past few years, but not knowing how to put any of it into words.

Iโ€™m incredibly lucky to be where I am today and to have the family I have.

This last year has been filled with quite a few professional projects: a handful of photo and video commissions, a number of design projects, a few designed and assembled seasonal decor items (as seen in my shop), and then a lot of time spent growing another baby to join our family in the spring. :)

I miss the old days of photography over a decade ago, where there were so many photographers pioneering the way forward on platforms like Flickr and DeviantArt. It was a time of massive creativity, but also, so much time and attention was spent on capturing and commemorating the little details in life that make the world so magical. I find that I want to try to make my way back to that place of creation. Just a simple ode to our day to day lives. Maybe Iโ€™ll get that started this year while there is so much change and growth about to happen come this spring.
