This Version of You Is Once in a Lifetime + Inspiration + New Obsession | 3.13.25
SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE :-)
Hello Beautiful,
I don't know who needs to hear this today. But, you will never be this age again.
Not ever.
Read that again.
Let it sink in.
Because maybe you're waiting.
Waiting for the right time. The right weight. The right relationship. The right amount of money. The right season, the right schedule, the right mood.
But time doesn't wait.
And while you're busy waiting, this version of you is fading. Quietly. Without asking for permission.
There’s something wild and beautiful about realizing we don’t get to go back. That this day, this version of you—your laugh lines, your current playlist, the way you feel when the light hits your skin just right—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
You’ll never be this exact kind of beautiful again.
You’ll never have today again.
And if that hits you in the gut a little, good. It should.
Because maybe it’s time to stop postponing your own happiness. Maybe it’s time to say yes to the things that bring you back to yourself. Maybe it’s time to finally book that trip, take that photo, say what you mean, wear the outfit you love, or walk away from something that’s been quietly stealing your joy.
Do what makes you feel alive.
Do what reminds you that you're still here.
Because your life is happening right now—not five pounds from now, not ten years from now, not after the kids grow up or the chaos dies down.
Right now.
At this age.
In this chapter.
With this heart and this body and this spirit that has carried you through so much already.
So here’s your reminder:
You won’t be this age again.
LIVE accordingly.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Inspiration
”I want a big life. I want to experience everything. I want to break every single rule there is.
They say ambition is an unattractive trait in a woman. Maybe. But you know what's really unattractive? Waiting around for something to happen. Staring out a window, thinking the life you should be living is out there somewhere but not being willing to open the door and go get it. Even if someone tells you you can't.
Being a coward is only cute in The Wizard of Oz.”
—Miriam 'Midge' Maisel, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

New Obsession
Yesterday, I had the absolute honor of photographing a beautiful soul who brought a few pieces from Thistle & Spire to her session. I know the brand, but seeing their designs on her—in motion, in confidence, in stillness—was a whole other experience.
Their pieces aren’t just lingerie. They’re wearable art. Delicate, edgy, and unapologetically bold—like they were made for the kind of person who doesn’t need permission to take up space.
She walked in wearing a sheer bodysuit that was all structure and softness at once, and I swear, the room shifted. Photographing her in it made me fall in love with how Thistle & Spire captures both strength and sensuality without saying a word. It was everything I wanted to translate in a photo: intention, power, vulnerability, art.
And now I’m fully obsessed. If you’ve ever wondered what to bring for yourown session and want something that feels like a statement AND a second skin—this brand? It’s it.
Trust me, I’ve seen it through my lens.
