be close

Behind the imperfection there is a moment. A moment I hope to remember as these days pass us and as we grow and are taken to new places. As our lives shift and our day to day changes, I hope to remember. The wind in your hair, the grasp of your hand, your closeness. Be close my little one – always.

How sweet it is.. at 18 months.

A Fall Memory

Watching the cousins laugh and play together is something that warms my heart. They share their little secrets, explore together and go over and beyond trying to make each other smile. The last bits of fall were spent doing exactly this. I hope that one day they can look back on their memories and be reminded of the beautiful relationships they have and how valuable they are. xoxo Maria.

along the road

We spent the day out at the lake this summer and as we were driving back home the sun was so softly setting. It was warm and beautiful and perfect. It was the type of light that excites me and the type of light that would make me put down a bar of dark chocolate to go out and shoot in it. I had intentions on making a stop to snap some photos of the kids but as I turned around to look behind me I saw two very exhausted and heavily sleeping little ones. I was a little sad at a missed opportunity but now that I look back I am really grateful that I was able to capture these instead.






These photographs are of two very special people. My in-laws. I feel a little wrong even calling them that. I really do feel that they are Mom and Dad to me as well. We love you guys.

An Autumn Day

Sometimes when life feels crazy and overwhelming and busy day after day, you have to take time. Time to realize that beautiful moments are happening all around you. Emery and Aidan, thank you my sweet children for filling my life with these beautiful memories.
