This wasn’t a typical “stand and smile” session. Desi beautifully captured the little moments that make up our life—the quiet ones, the messy ones, the ones filled with love and laughter.
I thought it might feel stressful or like I had to be “on” all day, but it wasn’t that at all. It was natural, easy, and honestly, a gift to just be in the moments instead of trying to document them myself.
Desi is an amazing photographer, but more than that, she is a beautiful human who was absolute pleasure to work with. She hung out with my family, paying attention to each child and capturing their individualities. She took some of the best photos of me with my husband (it's usually either me taking photos of my husband with kids, or him taking photos of me with kids, so photos of us together as well as all of us together as a family are so rare, and so appreciated). The entire gallery tells a story of our life during this season and every time I look through these photos, I can't help but get emotional.
