This one thing in my home that makes me smile every day

This gallery wall brings me more joy than I knew was possible from photos, which is saying something coming from a photographer!

We had had a picture ledge up for a couple of years as temporary decoration – the kind of thing you put up so that you’re not staring at a blank wall, but also the kind of thing that you squint at every time you look at it — because you know something is not quite right.

So when my boys accidentally yanked the ledge out of the wall from playing close to it (yes, this is my life), it gave me the nudge to put up something that I’d want to look at everyday.

Now, I legitimately stop and look at this wall multiple times a day and just smile. It’s a mix of some of my favorite film photos taken in 2020, and just a reminder that this really simple life we’re living is actually quite beautiful. I even catch my kids just stopping and noticing it throughout their day, and I can’t help but wonder what they’re thinking as they see those memories.

Seeing the power of print first hand is why I’m SO thrilled to announce that this year, I’m doing things a bit differently with my family photography sessions. Every session with me will give you the option to purchase a collection which includes a substantial print credit, so you can PRINT your photos!

It’s so easy to forget this, what with this digital age we’re living in:

this is the way photos were meant to be enjoyed!
