A little throw back photo from this time last year, and an update on what’s been going on here the last couple of weeks. It’s the close of another school year, awards programs, end of school parties, and dance recitals. However this year, I have had to miss out on it all 😭 2 Friday’s ago I was admitted to the hospital with a spontaneous hematoma bleed on my left kidney. It was super painful but they got it under control. Many CT scans and blood tests later they concluded that it had stopped bleeding and resolved on its own and I was released Sunday afternoon and told it would be painful up to a month, but everything was okay. I was soo relieved, but it only short lived bc I was readmitted that night for sepsis. A lot from there was a blur, the infection was hard to get under control, I also ended up with pneumonia, and I had tachycardia from all the stress. I ended up being hospitalized for 7 days. Today I’m exactly a week from when I was released the second time and I finally feel good enough to type all this out 😅 I can tell my body is trying hard to heal, it’s just taking longer than I would like. So thankful to family and friends who have been taking such great care of me. I’m hoping to take it slow a bit longer and then have a healthy drama free summer 😁 Hope you are are having a great May! Feel free to throw indoor summer activity ideas my way! xoxo
I made a Moving Portrait for my girls. The beach is their favorite place to go. My hope is that they are always one another’s favorite place as well. ❤️❤️ Where is you or your kids, favorite place to go? For the best viewing experience, head over to my IGTV to see the film with no breaks ☺️#filminglifefeaturedfilms #6filmchallenge #filminglife #filminglifeacademy @filminglifeacademy
My girls are dying to go to the beach 🏖 We can’t go just yet, but I am making a film for them of our last trip. It will either help hold them over or just make them want to go more 😂 . . . . #napcpchildhood #NAPCP #candidchildhood #the_sugar_jar #thebloomforum #littlebellows #dearphotographer #lookslikefilmkids #letthembelittle #explorekids #lemonadeandlenses
Since I started making films I rarely take off my 35mm 1.4. On this day I pulled out my old faithful 50mm 1.2, I missed you old friend! She produces the most gorgeous flares 😍 What’s your favorite lens at the moment? . . . . . #napcpchildhood #NAPCP #candidchildhood #the_sugar_jar #thebloomforum #littlebellows #dearphotographer #lookslikefilmkids #letthembelittle #explorekids #lemonadeandlenses

It’s National Siblings Day so here is a photo of my two girls from Disney last spring. I hope they always look to one another as a support, laugh together, cry together, and love one another everyday, forever and always. #nationalsiblingsday #sisters #disneyworld #magickingdom #simpleissweet #remiegirl
For 35 years this Hanbok (Traditional Korean Dress) has been worn and photographed by each girl at age 3. I was first, then my little sister, her 1st daughter, then my 1st daughter. This year was Imogen’s turn, she is 5th in line. My little 1/4 Korean blondie ☺️ #hanbok
Baby Whit you slid into this world before your mama even got a chance to push! 😅 I can’t believe he is One Year Old today! I can’t wait to get to do his photos again in a couple of weeks! Here’s a few photos I’ve never shared. Seeing these brings it all back like it was yesterday! I’ve posted his birth film on my IGTV in case you never saw it 💙 Thank you @summerhelms_ and @dustinrhelms for the privilege of documenting all these special moments
So this is a dreaded “help my kid with her school fundraiser” post 😂 Our school is great about not bombarding us with tons of them, so when they ask we know they really need it! They are having a fun run next Friday to raise money to build a much needed track. Olivia rarely asks me to post anything for her, so when she came in and asked me last night, I had to help my girl out 😁 If you can contribute it would be greatly appreciated, you can find her link in my profile! if nothing go to the link and watch the video (so stinking cute!)Thank you friends! 😘😘😘
So in love with these 3 little women! 💖💖💖So glad my sister had one more for me to love on ☺️ #napcpeveryday . . . . . #napcpchildhood #NAPCP #the_sugar_jar #thebloomforum #littlebellows #dearphotographer #lookslikefilmkids #letthembelittle #lemonadeandlenses
