Last night, I walked by the Briggs mansion site. That’s where I met Gordy and Annette, walking their dog and sifting through the rubble of the house where they raised their kids.

Gordy told me stories from their 25 years there, and stories of his mother living there the generation before.

Gordy searched to find the right brick to give each of his kids, and Annette took photos of what remained. People who maybe didn’t know quite what to do, other than to come back and carry something home. Proof that it all happened. Proof that it mattered.

Who’s carrying your bricks?

Introducing Hot Mess Minis. (We know who we are.)

For the families whose car has more crumbs than a bakery.
For the parents doing it solo (or close enough).
For the kids who are always mid-motion and never mid-pose.

As single dad of four, I've been there. I AM THERE. So I built these sessions because no one else was going to.

I know your time is shorter than your kids attention spans. These 30 minute sessions are enough to make something real and worth remembering. I promise.

30 minutes - $200. One Sunday a month. Spots are limited. First session is May 31 . Book yours here: https://tidycal.com/ryandavisphoto/hot-mess-mini

Wouldn’t change a thing.

Merry Christmas from my beautifully imperfect little tribe to yours.
