Over the years, my family has walked through heartbreaking losses. The kind that crack you open and changes how you see everything.
Grief has taught me how precious the now really is. How quickly the little things become the big things.
How moments that feel ordinary today are the ones we ache to remember tomorrow.

Being a firefighter has taught me in the deepest way that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. I’ve seen how quickly everything can change, how fragile this one life really is.
I’m also a volunteer firefighter in Branch, Louisiana. It’s a role I carry with deep honor to show up when it matters most, to protect, to care, and to serve.
It’s not so different from motherhood, really. Both require presence, tenderness, and fierce devotion.
Being a Volunteer Firefighter
And behind the camera, I get to hold something else: time itself if only for a heartbeat.
Motherhood has shown me the same. One moment, they’re small and curled up in your arms… and the next, they’re running wild and growing faster than your heart can keep up.
Whether I’m holding a hose or holding my children, my hands are full of purpose.
Because Life
Isn’t Promised
The way something in you knows
The way you breathe them in
I see the way you brush their hair from their face.
I See You, Mama
It won’t last forever, and you want to hold onto it while it’s still here.
