Today I taught Penny and my niece about the fun that is the #michaelschallenge 🌿💐👧🏼🧒🏼💐🌿
This past Tuesday Evan’s mom passed away. The girls and I attempted to hold down the fort in Atlanta while Evan headed to Charlotte to help his siblings get her affairs in order. It was two days of simply feeling wrong. To not all be together right now just made everything feel like we were stumbling our way through a sad dream. So we took this one out of school, skipped town, and though it kind of still feels like a sad dream, at least we’re all together in it. . Joanne was a wonderfully no nonsense woman. She spoke her mind and never minced words. Her soft side always had a little baggy of coins for the girls to put in their piggy banks. Her thrill seeker side loved NASCAR and casinos. She was the matriarch of a BIG family and her presence will be missed here. Tonight I will toast a glass of white Zinfandel to you, Joanne. With some ice of course. Just like you liked it. 💛
Just a couple more hours stand between me and some hugs from these two. 💛💛
Same, Penny. Same. . . . . #film
Oh lawdy... I just got my first scans back from @indiefilmlab and dang it if I’m not hooked! It was like Christmas opening up those files. Bits of summer that I’d completely forgotten about. Even a couple of Monkey weeks before he passed away. If you need me I’ll just be over here silently weeping. . . . #canonae1 #portra400 #film
The one thing Mama wanted to capture at this morning’s family shoot was this little finger suck right here. We got it!💛
Clem and I took on a little research project this morning. It was quite successful💛
Goes to see Cirque du Soleil one time...
Cirque Du Soleil date with Penny!
Clem took the afternoon off for a little self care.
Getting to document this beautiful family for a few hours as they begin to navigate their new life with twins was pretty darn special. The fact that I got to snuggles these babies too was just a bit of icing on the cake. #gimmeallthebabies . . . . #subjectlight #thebloomforum #familydocumentary #clickpro #atlantafamilyphotographer #thefamilynarrative #documentyourdays #theheartfulphotogs
The grump face that comes after you’ve been warned to leave the kitty alone or else she’s going to bite you... but you didn’t listen.

She knows a cool car when she sees one. 😎
Yesterday our very loved old man, Monkey, passed away. He was my first pet that was all my own. My first time being responsible for another life. He was days away from turning 18 years old which means he’s been by my side for my entire adult life. He was my baby, and I miss him terribly. 💛
She’s a bit of a never not nude🙈
Every morning after seeing Penny off to school we say hi to alllllll the snails. 💛🐌💛
Slow morning recovering from yesterday’s slip and slide bonanza...
She is so very much Evan. Except the eyes. I take full credit for those. 💛😍💛
We’re slowly approaching the full on “I can do it all myself” phase. Wish us luck...
