Turning 45 feels less like arriving at a destination and more like finally understanding the road.

At 25, I thought life was about proving myself.

At 35, I thought life was about taking care of everyone else.

At 45, I’m learning that life is really about alignment, protecting your peace, choosing what matters, and understanding that success means very little if it costs yyou your health, your joy, or the people you love.

What I know now is this:
You cannot pour endlessly into everyone else without eventually running empty.

Rest is productive.

Boundaries are necessary.

And the life you truly want is usually built slowly, quietly, and steadily.

I’ve learned to trust my intuition and know when to say yes.  

At 45, I care less about perfection and more about presence.

Less about applause and more about impact.

Less about being busy and more about being fulfilled.

I’ve also learned that reinvention is always available to you. You are never too old to evolve, dream bigger, start over, prioritize yourself, or become someone even wiser and stronger than before.

If life has taught me anything so far, it’s this:
Protect your energy. Love your people well. Take the trip. Say the thing. Start the business. Move your body. Laugh loudly. Heal fully. And stop waiting for permission to become who you were meant to be.

Thank you to the ever-talented for these portraits of this milestone.

And off to Texas State they go! Congratulations to MacArthur HS Seniors Amber and Omar! We know you’ll make us proud. We took a few senior portraits on a perfect golden sunset at Cibolo Nature Conservatory. Even the wildlife wanted to be photographed that evening!

I had the pleasure of photographing Jenna Bush Hager and Juliet Faithfull celebrating the start of the San Antonio Book Festival and the release of the book, 📕 Liar’s Dice. The book’s official release is today, and hearing the panel discussion about the story and author’s personal history intrigued me! I can’t wait to read it! So thankful for this opportunity!
