Love Lake Photography was named after my love for the lake I grew up on, fell in love on, and named our son after. These days I live to love my fiancé James, son Laiken, daughter Kora, and capturing other families’ stories

MY STORIES & ADVENTURES

@LOVELAKEPHOTOGRAPHY

 
Me “okay, I think we’re good.” Also me: Sees a moment, runs behind a bush and snaps this. . Something @somethingrad said the other day, which isn’t talked about a lot, is that as photographers, we have to anticipate a moment before it happens. Sometimes that requires to wait, sometimes that requires to stand back, and then always be ready. . Have a good weekend loves ✌️ . . #partphotographerpartspy #lifestylephotographer #documentyourdays
Me trying to release some creative energy while my kids run around like wild banshees and total creepersss. . . I got to sleep in this morning till 9 am and DAMN I feel good. Hahah 👏👏✌️ Seriously though I have to demand my needs be met. Only I am responsible for taking care of myself or else it won’t get done and then I turn into a crazy bitchface! If you have someone in your life that can read your mind than wow I’m so amazed and that’s AWESOME! However, I don’t have that. I have to tell my loved ones what it is I need. What is one thing you have to do for yourself every week to nurture your body and soul?! Mamas if you aren’t doing something, start now-and demand it. Your needs are important! . . . #selfcare #mamasneedsmatter #inspiremotherhood
Our routine is out of wack, and I’m paying for it. Kora has been extra clingy, back in our bed because of a sleep regression, and then crazy active when she is awake. I’m just so beat! . . There areee some exciting things in the works and I’m dreaming up some thangs. Since I’ve been feeling so down, with a sense of loss of community, I’m thinking of hosting weekly work dates with other work from home moms like myself. We can let the littles play while we drink copious amounts of coffee, work and chat business. Who’s down? . . . #wahmthings #motherhood #workfromhomemamas

Literally chugging a latte right now as the kids eat their sonic treat to get through the rest of the day. Hahaha anyone else drinking a shit ton of coffee this summer to stay alive?! It was in the 100’s this past weekend here! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 . . Oh, and, hey! This is the time to book your fall session. Get with me now to ensure you get the time frame you want. . .

I’m planning a trip to Palm Beach area oct. 1-9th. Honestly, I’m going because my son has been asking to fly to see his great grandmother. I want to make more connections in that area so that we can make this a regular thing, and he can have a relationship with her. She wasn’t a big part of our lives because of distance and so hate that. She doesn’t like to fly anymore. She has her comfortable community. So, in order to make it happen, mamas gotta work for it. Friends, if you know anyone in that area, please share this with them! I’d like to document atleast one more family within the oct.1-9th time frame! . .

Honestly, I’m feeling a little beat down today. I work so hard. I juggle many hats. And honestly friends, your words are powerful. My second top love language is words of affirmation. When a happy client or friend speaks kindly to me and let’s me know I’m appreciated, it is literally what keeps me going. In the few cases that I have delt with “unsatisfaction”, it’s been purely undermining what I do, and taking advantage of me and my hard work. And the very few times this has happened I always question why I am doing this and that is NOT OKAY. I know I look like I’m 15 and it’s easy to judge. But you cannot take advantage of me. I will stand my ground. I am worth it. . . . . #worthyoflove #strugglesofaphotographer #wordsarepowerful
Something has been heavy on my heart. . On Saturday, my son was approached by a random 8 year old and put in a chokehold and then pushed down, for absolutely no reason. We then watched this boy do it to two other children within a 5 minute time period. After his mother finally came around, she did nothing but yell at us to calm the f down, and used autism as an excuse for his behavior. Never have I encountered such dark dark souls. I worry for all the children that he has hurt and will continue to hurt. I ache for my son, even though he seems okay and unaffected, it had to of affected him in some way that may show up later. Having to tell a child so young, that there are people out there that we have to look out for, is heartbreaking. I want to remain positive. I do not want fear to get the best of me. But, truthfully, that was scary as hell. There is so much light in this world. And then there is darkness. . . Hug your babies tight. Watch them closely.
