Oh, Motherhood.

The beauty. The chaos. The tears. The joy. The sleepless nights. The endless coffee. The laughter.

Every emotion, every fear, laid bare.

Every moment woven together to create a tapestry of love, hope, endurance, and strength.

It was such a joy to capture these images for Crystal and her family. It was sweet to see Cash love his Momma so tenderly! That boy can really melt a girl’s heart! Harlee was a little more interested in the dandelions, the grass, the gravel of the driveway…anything but taking pictures. Such is life with a toddler. But when she wanted to take a turn, she really turned on the charm.

And the light!

It was one of the few perfect nights that we have had this month. Warm and golden. The kind of light you want to wrap up in. The perfect compliment to the glow of this beautiful Momma!

This lady amazes me! She has such a strength about her. Even after a full day at a busy restaurant, toddler chasing, and getting everyone else ready, she still finds a quiet moment to ask me how I’m doing. It’s friends like this, that are willing to enter and just live a moment of life with you, that are the real treasure.

So here is to you, dear friend. Here is to the legacy of love that you are creating for your precious family.

Motherhood looks fantastic on you!
