My beautiful friend @maryzitapaynephotography and her daughter Liza just shaved their heads in honor of raising over $30,000 for pediatric cancer.
Just a few short years ago Liza battled with pediatric cancer and was one of the lucky kids who made it through that extremely hard journey. Every since then @maryzitapaynephotography and her family spend endless hours supporting and raising money for other families who have went through and are going through the same thing. It’s really beautiful to see, I’m so proud of my friend for how she sees life, how she values it, and all that does for her community.

This week I had the opportunity to shoot a very special session. @jenny_marcelli messaged me and told me about her recent discovery of finding cancer in her breast, and that she would soon be having a double mastectomy.
She had been putting off coming out for a forest nude session and figured now was the time. We spent a lovely evening in the woods, learning each other’s stories and celebrating her beautiful body where she is the happiest, bare foot and close to nature. Jenny is such a strong amazing, gorgeous women who is about to go through a journey that she wasn’t ready for. It was less then a month ago she found a lump, and within a few weeks her surgery will take place. I think it’s so important for women to be open about these things, share their stories and stay aware. I know Jenny is going to kick cancers ass, and I’m so so happy that I got to spend this time with her.

Yesterday was an absolutely wonderful day full of amazing women and their empowering stories. It was one of those days that made me fall in love with my work even more madly than I already am. I am constantly humbled by the trust people put in me to be vulnerable in front of my camera and tell me about their lives. It’s a beautiful thing!

Just over 8 weeks ago I was lucky enough to be witness and document my first nephews entry into this world. My little bro ( @douglasworks87 ) and his lovely partner @danielleghenry invited me to be with them for their birth. It felt so so so special to be part of this.
I have shot many births before, but there is something very different about witnessing the birth of someone in my own family. I loved him the second I saw him and I can’t wait to tell him the beautiful story of his birth and how lucky I felt to be part of it. I will be the best aunt I can be to him and love him up more then he will ever understand!

Today I woke up feeling motivated and inspired. I got my rain gear on, packed up my camera, a basket and a spade and headed into the woods. I harvested wild leeks in the rain and dreamed up recipes. Here is what I came up with… not all is pictured here yet)
- wild leek chimichurri
- charred wild leek butter
- wild leek chowder
- BBQ chicken and charred wild leeks, asparagus and peas

Finding forest ingredients to create beautiful meals from is a total dream. Today was absolutely lovely.
