a new direction

 

 during these few months I've been away from things, taking time to care for my family, I have found so much inspiration, clarity and drive. I know exactly where I want to go from here out, what I want for Three Peas and what I want for myself. up to this point I've worked on all subjects whether it be weddings, boudoir, families, children- everything, and I've enjoyed them all. They have each taught me different things. I have a special love, a passion for a few certain ones and I really feel those are what I need to put my focus on. the first one being birth- oh how I love the incredible magic, overwhelming power and emotion in the miracle of a child's birth. no matter how many different birth photos by others I go through I get the same feeling in my heart each time and I know that's where I need to be. newborn- documenting the product of such an amazing process that one goes through just seems to me as a given. sweet babies, pure, simple and perfect. the intimacy of the moments learning their parents, and vice versa. discovering this new world. I love it. and lastly, lifestyle- the real, natural honesty behind capturing a family either in the comfort of their home just enjoying life and each other or at a beautiful location away from the bustle of the world. I love photos that are real, that speak the truth of the moment. those three subjects and styles I'm so drawn to and I know that's what I want to photograph. something I have so much desire for. knowing where your love is and going after it is empowering and I feel so happy and excited for my future as an artist and as an individual. things will be much different but change is a good thing. I'm blessed by all of you and your encouragement means everything.


I have my own birth photographer lined up in June. this will be our last baby and we want to remember everything. a close friend of mine will be with us in the hospital and then spending time with us at home while we get settled. my husband & I are so excited about having her there to document this and give us the memory of this precious time in our lives. we have about 10 weeks to go (probably more like 11 with my track record) we're getting there!

below is our sweet babe at 29 weeks

 

I'm so overwhelmed at times knowing our God has entrusted us with yet another innocent soul. we can't wait to watch him/her grow in His love- this is the final piece to our family! I could never ask for more in my life, being a mama is what my heart desires and I know it's what has led me in the direction I'm going.

 

thank you, every single one of you for everything
