Looking for a way to remember the wonderfully exhausting and hectic days of life with a new baby? All the sweet little details, introductions, and overwhelming love? Regardless of whether you’re new parents or seasoned parents, you know it’s going to go by in a blur. Why not invest in a documentary newborn session that will take you back in time and help you to remember exactly what those days felt like?
Yes, organic! Nothing artificial here. Just family, all together, as they go about their day, whether it be an average, run-of-the-mill day or a special, shout-from-the-rooftop kinda day.

Yet these are the times when tapping into our creativity can help us more than we can imagine. Art may not fix things, but it sure can help us cope (or at the very least, provide a diversion). As such, I’ve put together a photo challenge for everyone – regardless of age, camera, or skill level. Hope you have fun with this!

Revel in your memories. As you do so, I encourage you to think about a few things… and possibly make some changes going forward.

Eventually, I came to the realization that hiring me was like hiring a gourmet chef to take the finest, locally-grown, organic ingredients to prepare the most mouthwatering culinary delights for a lavish dinner party. Only instead of the chef finishing the job and plating the food, they just left it in the pots and pans and bowls for YOU to plate.
