Becoming A Mother, This Crazy Dynamic Love Forever Changes You

20 Feb

What is about becoming a mother that totally changes you?

Becoming A Mother, This Crazy Dynamic Love Forever Changes You.

It changes your life in more ways than you can ever expect. It’s crazy when you hold them in your arms for the first time. Your heart aches with great love. A love that would rage against oceans, cross mountains, and move the stars for this tiny human. This little piece of you.

Becoming a mother changed me in so many ways. I cannot even count them. I’ve never known a greater more dynamic love. My son has changed me for the better.

However hard parenting is, it is also the greatest thing that has ever happened to me.

The first years I struggled a lot with the change, the neediness, the lack of sleep, the temper tantrums in the threenager years challenged me to the core. My ability to choose patience & calm in the midst of the crazy. But let me tell you, five was a page turner! I have either grown enough that I don’t struggle as much as the first years, or he has simply arrived at a glorious age. lol.

I mean he’s still insanely willful and I always have to remind myself that compliant children don’t change the world. His willfulness is strength in some ways. And a sign to me that I don’t control him, I am molding him, teaching him. There is this balancing act of showing him how to listen, obey, and choose wisely, and then allowing him to be his own self and how to make choices without me imposing them.

It’s rough, but guys it’s crazy wonderful. Becoming A mother, this crazy dynamic love forever changes you.

If you want to read more about me, my life, my love, click those posts 🙂 But for today let’s enjoy sweet Ashton’s first photoshoot.

Congrats to this adorable family, and Alexis, this mom thing… you’ve got it.

I can’t wait for this love to ravish and create you as a stronger, more beautiful, and wiser person. I know it probably did the second you held him in your arms. Parenting is going to grow you both, create a deeper love, and a bigger adventure! I’m so excited to be along for the journey.

Welcome to the world sweet Ashton. I am so excited to watch you grow this year.

Instagram post 2194110395908412237_1568523959 Hey work from home entrepreneurs. How often do you get OUT of the house to work? Do you make a habit of it? As an extrovert I HAVE to schedule co-working dates out of the house to keep my sanity. One of my favorite places to do just this is @teaspressa. yummy drinks, aesthetically pleasing calm atmosphere and a kind staff 💥 doesn’t get better than that!
Instagram post 2193345207370458567_1568523959 I never had sisters and I don’t have a daughter but I’m so thankful for friendships LIKE sisterhood and I’m thankful for my friends daughters and I’m super grateful for my amazing mother 💕💕💕 WHO are your girls?
Instagram post 2192629022983162038_1568523959 Spent my entire day yesterday with this powerhouse of a woman and I can’t think of a better way to spend my time. She’s one of the most encouraging and kind women I’ve ever met. She’s transparent and a gifted leader. Then today I got to relive and reflect back while editing these content photos. Her powerhouse women 2020 goals + clarity event was beyond a success!
Instagram post 2191924365734250321_1568523959 Love shining bright above me. I will forever cherish these photographs from Joseph and Sharons wedding. Greenhouses are my FAV. I must have more!!!! Besides Boyce Thomson and Boojum Tree does anyone know of any that host weddings???
Instagram post 2191562354273938604_1568523959 Heading out for THIS powerhouse woman’s mastermind 2020 goals and clarity event! Shooting creative coverage AND enjoying listening to her do her thing. Best of BOTH worlds. I 💕 my job. Can’t wait to get more content of her radiant spirit in action -doing exactly what she was meant to do. Love on others and support them in their dreams and goals. Crossing my fingers for sunny skies 🌞
Instagram post 2191197385812441991_1568523959 Working on Amber + Geoffs wedding ALLLLLL day!!!! Wedding editing is no easy task. I’ve estimated about 10 hours of editing and other various work for every hour I shoot at a wedding. So an 8 hour day is about 80 hours behind the scenes! It’s totally life giving though -even if it’s a little monotonous. I mean look how beautiful she is!!!!
Instagram post 2191155241672314351_1568523959 Walking into life like a WOMAN. Everyone keeps asking me about my T-shirt- so shameless plug @thesageaubrey is where it’s from. And my awesome handbag !!! FYI WOMAN sweatshirt coming soon!!! I’ll be wearing it as soon as humanly possible!
Instagram post 2190951800765225621_1568523959 Tiny humans are the cutest!!! especially surrounded by adult humans that love them. 😆
Instagram post 2190856321905779350_1568523959 It’s time to get back to editing today. I am forcing myself and my broken toe to sit at my desk and work. However OF COURSE my son has a stomach ache and is home from school right now.... ugh 😩 I can’t catch a break. It’s been two weeks now between his first sickness, my sickness, then Mexico that I haven’t been able to actually work!
Instagram post 2190495167979447618_1568523959 So I totally broke my toe today! OUCH. I dropped my heavy duty yeti water bottle on it. 💦 but I’m a trooper (or just plan stupid) and wore my darn leopard heals to my friends launch event. Cause I never get to wear heels and I’m not gonna let a broken toe stop me. No worries. I’ll park myself at my desk tomorrow for a hard core editing date and let the healing begin. But I’m gonna have to skip out on some of my holiday events this week 🎄
Instagram post 2190294378920944179_1568523959 GIRRRRRLLLL. I am so proud of my friend Risa. She’s officially launched her newest genius endeavor  @therescuekitco. Risa doesn’t settle- no she’s a go getter and she’s launch her kit in @saks!!!!!! Cause that’s the kind of person she is 💕💕💕💕 and I’m so proud to call her friend and celebrate this achievement with her. Not just because her company is kickass, or because she’s just plain good at business but because of WHO she is. Risa is one of the most encouraging, supportive, kindest, humble, call-it-what-it-is friends. And my life is RICHER because of her. Congrats friend. Today we celebrate just a small part of your awesomeness. 💋

Instagram post 2188320038818116992_1568523959 Goodnight Friday 💤 here’s a little love to get you through the weekend 💕
Instagram post 2187574264471610940_1568523959 I’m thankful for many things- seriously. But today’s a struggle cause I’ve been sick for 8 days!!!! And the 8 days before that I’ve been caring for my sick kid! 😩 We are on vacation in Mexico with precious fun friends and I’m on this beautiful beach in the middle of an epic storm that’s soooo cool - but I’m managing a headache, fatigue, constant coughing and a sore throat. It’s less than ideal 😂 But hey it’s better than having all the above stuck on my couch 🛋 or freezing in the snow ❄️ lol. I’ll take it and be THANKFUL for it!
