DISPLACED YET HOPEFUL

The world feels especially heavy right now. It’s uncertain, overwhelming, shocking and at the same time much of what I’ve watched play out is not surprising. I desire to recognize that everyone processes this heaviness and pain differently. I want to take the time to step away and reflect on my heart and motivation between keeping myself informed.

CHRISTMAS PHOTOSHOOT - 2020

THANKSGIVING WEEK - 2020

I hoped there would be moments of quiet and reflection over the Thanksgiving week. But in addition to finding ways to quiet our minds I wanted to provide opportunities for us to consider and enjoy all of the things we have to be thankful for…

A NEW RHYTHM - 2020

I’m constantly learning that seasons don’t last forever. Now that Calvin and I have been working from home together we needed to rework our daily rhythm again. I’m thrilled about this new life we’ve set up and really hope this season lasts a long time. It’s taken some work, but Calvin and I have learned how to work together even better this summer...
