"You booked the shoot, picked the outfits, got everyone dressed in their very best, And Tried your Very hardest to be on time....

You curated the bribes, filled their bellies, and obliged requests to avoid sour moods.


I see you, I am you, I've been there too.


Please take a deep breath, lean into this day and all the chaos it may bring.


You'll never regret, despite possible tears and some sweat, the love these memories will sing.


In this labor of love, I give you my hand to help carry the load,

Of planning, deciding, logistics, and guiding down this favorite & familiar road.


Playing, snuggling, tickling, and hugging, is your part to play.


Smiling, spinning, running, and giggling, because mom sets the tone of the day.


But most of all, let's not forget, pausing.


Take a moment to really stop & stare at the beautiful family that YOU got there."


Love,

Your Fellow Mama (in the valleys & in the peaks)
