I never expected to bring home my first child during a pandemic.
I never expected to sit across the room from doctors (6 ft away) and ask how to keep my newborn safe while meeting his grandparents. Or to have nobody see my 9 month pregnant belly in person. Or not be able to introduce our tiny person to our friends. What a crazy reality, guys.
Here’s the truth...our lives aren’t stopping for this pandemic. Milestones in our lives are being passed all the time...celebrating them & documenting them just looks a little different.
I understand first-hand how hard it is to see important events so altered and restricted. But it also doesn’t mean they aren’t special memories worth celebrating. I don’t want your milestones to get lost in the seemingly endless days of social distancing, and repetitive routines & restrictions.
I will always remember what it was like being a first-time mom in the middle of a pandemic. As strange as it sounds, these memories are almost more special because these are hard times. These little things keep us tethered to what we love. And isn’t that everything? Families & weddings & babies & life events...those deserved to be remembered and celebrated.
I’ve been spending the last few weeks making sure I can still deliver on photographing these events for you. Whatever makes it doable, I am here for it, guys.
*Your little one is having a birthday and you want a front-porch session to remember it? I’m there.
*You are missing your planned wedding date because you had to postpone? Plan a socially distanced couples shoot to mark the date! (I’ll bring the champagne!)
*You are bringing a new baby home from the hospital after a very different birth than you wanted? I’ll help you document those early days at home so you never forget what it was like.
*You just got engaged? HELL YES, let’s celebrate that shit. I’ll wear a mask, and keep my distance. You two just make-out and be cute.
*You’re pregnant and missing your baby shower? Girl, I’ve got you. Let’s still capture that amazing preggo-belly with some maternity pictures to share with your loved ones virtually.
*You want Christmas cards to document your family in 2020? I’m your girl.
ALL THIS TO SAY: this covid mess doesn’t stop your life, and those memories are worth keeping. One day you’ll look back and more than ever, you’ll want photos life in this crazy year of 2020.
I will help you document your life in a safe, comfortable way. I’ve got your back. <3 Here’s what that means for me:
I always wear masks on my shoots.
I sanitize my gear.
I sanitize my hands.
I wear fresh clothes.
I stay 6 feet away.
My studio is sanitized before use.
Your memories deserve to be documented. AND you also deserve to stay safe. <3
