She stood at the edge where the ocean roared, unshaken by the crash of waves. 🌊

Every tide tried to move her, yet she remained rooted, calm, radiant.

To embrace the waves is to know their power, but to stay still is to know your own. ✨

This morning’s home photography marked a major step forward, and I’m truly grateful to have that milestone completed. With that chapter now wrapped, my focus shifts back to client galleries and the ever important flow of administration behind the scenes. The house is finally on the market. Moving on in December. Meanwhile creating magical moments.

I’m reminding myself that progress is not only found in constant motion but also in the pauses we allow ourselves. Rest is part of the work it gives clarity, strength, and balance for the tasks ahead.

One step at a time, with purpose and grace.

Let's goooo galleries!

I had to step back and catch up on home life for a bit, especially as I prepare for our move this December. Taking that time to focus has been so important for me and my family. Now, I feel refreshed and excited for the upcoming sessions, and I’ll also be updating galleries soon.

These past weeks have been full of multitasking, but I’m truly grateful for the help and support I’ve received along the way. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding it means more than I can put into words. At the end of the day, I am a mother first, and every step I take in this journey is rooted in love for my family.

You can’t say you sympathize when you are not behind my eyes.

The world looks different through the lens I carry,
shaped by the balance of motherhood, work, and dreams.

This isn’t just a closet.
It’s a library of lives
stitched and strung across hangers
waiting for the next chapter to be tried on.

Gowns that have seen laughter spill across the floor
silks that remember tears quietly brushed away
hats that once crowned a moment of triumph
each thread, each button
is a bookmark in someone’s story.

I’ve loaned out chairs before
loaned out things that simply filled a space
but this is different.
These aren’t just objects.
They’re echoes.
They’re witnesses.
They’re memories sewn into fabric and metal
passed through hands
photographed in time
and given new breath every time they’re worn.

Jewelry that glimmers like unspoken prayers
scarves that carry the scent of dreams
boots that know the rhythm of confidence
stepping out into the world.

And when my clients step into this closet
they’re not just choosing a look
they’re stepping into legacy.
Into a past that’s alive in the present
into memories that transform them
remind them
reshape them.

This closet isn’t just storage.
It’s a sanctuary.
It’s proof that beauty
when cared for
when shared
never fades
it multiplies.
It becomes a thousand mirrors of who we were
and who we still can be.

So look closely.
Every hanger hums with a heartbeat.
Every trinket is a time capsule.
And every gown
is a memory waiting to be captured over and over again.

Mama’s Shoes

They slip into Mama’s shoes, too big for tiny feet,
they stumble, laugh, and teeter, a moment pure and sweet.

The sparkle makes them feel so tall, though balance comes and goes,
one day those heels will fit just right, in ways that Mama knows.

For now they’re castles on their toes, a dream they cannot fill,
but in the years that lie ahead
they surely, surely will.

✨ Finding My Colors ✨

I recently experienced a full 16-Season Color Analysis with StyleQuill Studio and discovered that I am a Shaded Winter

Deep, cool, and clear tones are where I shine most. Jewel shades, icy pastels, rich contrasts, and timeless black do more than look good on me they amplify my features, my confidence, and my energy.

What made this experience even more special is that I am also currently capturing her branding images. To be on both sides of the lens receiving her expertise while creating visuals for her brand feels like a full circle moment.

Color analysis is not just about clothes. It is about alignment, identity, and showing up in the world as your truest self.

✨ My Color Analysis Experience ✨

Recently I had the opportunity to do a full 16 Season Color Analysis with StyleQuill Studio. The process was eye opening. After years of guessing which colors truly worked for me, I finally discovered that I am a Shaded Winter.

That means deep, cool, and clear tones are my power colors. Jewel shades, icy pastels, sharp contrasts, and classic black do more than complement me, they bring out the best in my features and energy.

What I love most is that this is not just about fashion, it is about alignment. Wearing the right colors has given me more confidence, more clarity, and a sense of ease in how I present myself. It feels like my outside finally reflects my true self within.

Another beautiful part of this journey is that I am also currently working on her branding images. Being behind the lens while she helps others discover their authentic style has been such an inspiring full circle moment.

If you have ever been curious about color analysis, I highly recommend the experience. It is more than style, it is a form of self discovery.
