Countdown to what will surely be the wedding event

Countdown to what will surely be the wedding event of the season. Chris and Nick, if your wedding is half as fun as you are it’s going to be pretty epic. I’m ready for the Q’Nguyenlan experience.

Nothing can really top my last post, but I've been

Nothing can really top my last post, but I've been thinking a lot about motherhood lately.

As mothers we not only DO so much, we HOLD so much for our children. We become so attuned to their needs, their struggles and emotional ups and downs.

Of course we can't fix everything for them, and it's not our job to protect them from every hardship and pain in the world, even if we might want to.

Mothering is complex and unending. It's a beautiful self-giving love. And I also wonder, if I'm being honest, how I hold onto or reclaim my own identity. But can we ever untangle ourselves from what what we love so deeply and what has shaped us so profoundly?

A large part of what motivates me to photograph families the way I do- as honestly and authentically as possible- is because I love mothers! I love the work they do in the world, which has an impact for generations, and I want them to feel seen and to know that someone bears witness to the love, the tears, all of it.

“If we are paying attention to our lives, to our truest emotions and needs, we will eventually recognize all the ways we are compensating for areas of imbalance and weakness.

We will be faced with the pain of relationships we’ve held onto that are unhealthy, dynamics we’ve grown familiar with that are actually harming us, or our own reactions born out of woundedness and fear. We will have to face the deep reality that parts of our hearts and lives we’ve neglected need tending. We will have to re-learn the patterns of living that allow us to be whole and healthy.”

I wrote an essay about what my body taught me through intense pain. Thrilled to have it published on @learningcurveletters . Give it a read (or click the listen link to have me read it to you while you’re driving hither and thither, walking the dog or washing the dishes.
