MY STORIES & ADVENTURES

@LOVELAKEPHOTOGRAPHY

 
As the school year has come to an end I’m reminded of how much Laiken has grown since September. He’s legit the smartest and most empathic almost 4 year old I’ve known. This morning as Kora whined for a bite of his breakfast, he said, “I’ll get you some yogurt baby. Would that make you happy?!” As he hugged around her back and then gave a tickle and they started laughing. I died. By the way- I yelled in the making of these so while it may look like were perfect, we are farrrr from it. . . . . #sweetboy #allthelove #allthesnuggles
Since I got back from Utah, there was such in intense community that coming back to my normal life has felt even more secluding than it did before I left. I’m over the fake mom friendships. I want the kind of friendships I had in middle school accept mom version. Where you come over to drink wine while your kids go crazy and give them baths together. Where you switch off dinner duty or drop coffee and chocolate on a whim. Where you are genuinely yourself and it’s totally okay. Where you talk shit, act like a fucking fool and laugh out loud, come to each other’s houses unannounced and go out to be an adult sometimes too. Why is it that moms have this wall up, and try to compete and compare shit?! Just fucking be, and be kind. It’s okay that your kid has had chicken nuggets everyday. It’s okay that you work and had to leave your baby to provide. It’s okay that you yelled. It’s okay that you weren’t watching your kid for a second if you had something to do. We’re all fucking human. This is why tribes used to exist. So that one mama can pick up the slack for the other. So that we can take turns watching each other’s children to take care of our own needs. We’re supposed to have each other’s back. Stop the judging. Stop the shaming. Stop the comparison game. We’re in this together! . ((Styled by @elise_meader)) @reclamationdesigncompany . . . #findyourtribe #thisiscommunity #beyourtrueself
I could ramble about my life but instead I gotta say this mama RADIATES strength and power. She deserves all the love. .((Swipe Right)) . . . #mamalove #loveyourmother #inspiremotherhood
We use to go the library every single week. For 3 years straight. Today I was very quickly reminded why we haven’t been in a while. The kids ran in different directions, Kora kept knocking Laikens tower down, spilt water AND my coffee (while drinking it as I had eyes on Laiken), Laiken whining and complaining due to the annoyance and attention stealing sister. That’s just a few examples of the chaos. 😩 What a fool I am to take my laptop thinking I could get a little work done. 🤪 oh and I look homeless today. . . . #winning #mondayfeels #wahmlife
I got some time to just chill by myself and nap yesterday before my sessions. Picked up my camera for the first time in two weeks, due to having to reschedule sessions because of rain. Damn, all of it felt good. And finally we have a sunny day ☀️ Feeling inspired again, yesss. Heyyy to my FL peeps, if you didn’t catch my stories, I’ll be waiving travel fees in June. Email me before I change my mind! 🤣🤣 . . . . #rechargeyoursoul #floridaphotographer #travelingphotographers
Sometimes I just don’t have it in me to dig deep and write from the heart. I’m just over here listening to my need to disconnect a bit, and ride out this little slump. 🤙 . . . . #fridayfeels #listentoyourneeds #youmatter
I think I’m more excited for @makelleahlin.and.thelostboys to have a girl than they are. Hahaha girls are so different in the best way. Ideally, I’d love to have another girl for Kora to grow up with. I always longed for a sister to do life together, get married and have babies together. What a gift that is. . .

I dunno bout y’all, but for us, the summer feels are here. Staying up a little later, check. Baths in the river/lake, check. Nothin’ but swim suit laundry, check. (Jk loads of laundry, always) Low motivation to adult, check. 🤣☀️🌊 🍹 . . Model: @shyanneahlin Styled by @forestandfieldphotography . . #summerlovin #adultingsucks #summervibes
