Finishing off 2023 with the greatest delight of documenting a new baby!

Diana and I become friends while I was teaching evening fitness classes, years before we each had our own first child. So, it was a complete honor to the capture the memories of a third new baby. 👶🏻💙 Love you guys !!

Hiii!!! Can you believe I’m actually updating this page?! 😄🤪

Sometime last year, as I watched my little babies rapidly morph into tiny toddlers, something in me clicked. 👌🏻📸

Despite wanting to create and challenge myself, I suddenly wanted time with my girls more. And so, I freed myself of the pull to offer this service to others, for the time-being. Let’s face it, being a great mom is an on-going challenge in its own right. 🙌🏻

BUT, every now and then, someone special asks me to assist in documenting a special memory, and I can’t say no.

Meet Faith, one of our girls’ favorite, totally sweet+fun babysitters, graduating from ASU. Congratulations, Faith! We love you! ❤️

Happy 2nd Birthday to this little DARLING! 🎂🎈✌🏻

I can't believe that over two years ago, I took this first photo of her on the day she was born. Where does time go......Mamas, hold on to those babies.❤️

Diana Guirado, thank you for always trusting me with your precious babies.

One thing I've loved about a chosen profession in health & wellness is that it's allowed me to make life-long friends, friends who dream big and want to make the most of their lives, their relationships, and their service to others.

The thing is, there's endless science that supports that fitness allows for, and enhances the ability for one to become the best version of herself, through percerverence, persistance, and the altererd 🧠brain chemistry that accompanies these behaviors and traits. A 🏃🏼‍♀️movement routine👟 literally makes us more capable of adaptation to stress, to connect with others, and to percevere through hard times.🧠📚💪🏼

Maybe that's why I still feel so connected to girls I ran with in high school (whom I haven't even SPOKEN to in years!), maybe that's why I've never given up on my passion for teaching group exercise (despite how many better paying jobs I've held 😅), and maybe that's why I've made life-long friends, starting in college, as I established my career goals in health and wellness.

I started working with this amazing girl..... maybe almost 10 yrs ago...time goes too quickly ; it's got to be close to that🤷🏼‍♀️🤣. I've seen her move through life's ups and downs, always to land on her feet, with a smile on her face and a caring heart on her sleeve. I dont have to ask her to know that fitness and her career helps her to maintain her forward-stepping-stride. Because that's what fitness does.

I love that health and fitness professionals care deeply for others, strive for complete fulfillment, and have walked the walk of struggle to overcome and lead by example..... I'm so lucky to be surrounded by them. ❤️

Finishing up this “First Birthday Session” and feeling a little nostalgic, knowing that by next year, baby Colton, will have lost most of his 👼“baby-ness”👼, as he's about to become a toddler👣. His sweet, fun parents will look back and feel as though the time went at warp speed. 💫⚡️💫

*

And they'll wish for it back.

Right behind Colton are my own two babies.

*

They’ll lose those marshmallow thighs, chubby ankles, and round waists. They’ll lose those sweet, soft, full cheeks. They’ll lose their sweet baby-expressions, and the coos and sounds we’ll turn into words. They’ll grow before our eyes. 👀✨

*

My reminder to cherish the moments.🙏 ❤️Their gone in a minute.

Authentic✨ Emotional💕 Fun🤸🏻‍♀️
