life with luke.the dimness

as a photographer,
i am always searching for the light.

i know that photography has helped me
process the grief i have experienced in different seasons of my life.
i recently experienced another wave of heartache
and decided that i would lean into it
and photograph what the dim feelings felt like.
and here are the results of taking those photos.

this is my son, luke.
and his name means bringer of light.
and that he does.

the irony is that i was trying to photograph the dimness inside of me,
but all i could capture was the light.

On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor.
And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty,
while our presentable parts need no special treatment.
But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it,
so that there should be no division in the body,
but that its parts should have equal concern for each other.
If one part suffers, every part suffers with it;
if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
1 Corinthians 12:22-26

photography.ballet dancers

one of my most favorite things to photograph are ballerinas.
the way they move.
their grace.
their poise.
and how they leave it all on the stage
each and every time.
it is a delight and
and honor for me to make
art of their art.

you can see these talented dancers perform Coppélia
at the end of this month.
get your tickets here.

life with luke.velcro

i stumbled upon a draft of a blog post from 2014
that i never remember creating.

these pictures were from a normal day.
nothing special.
but now as i look back,
i see that
this moment in time was everything.
this is what life is all about.
these little in-between moments.

as we embark upon sending our second born away to college,
i am desiring to go back to the good old days
where i had little kids crawling all over me
and requiring every ounce of me.

i have heard from wise women
that this new season only gets sweeter,
but i feel as though i am in transition in labor,
where what is ahead is unknown and,
frankly, terrifying.

i long for those days from the past,
where i was able to immerse myself in motherhood.
and yet, i see that with my sweet Luke,
i still get to be there.
right smack in demanding stages of motherhood
(in the best of ways)
as he will always prefer
to be velcroed to my side.

this moment eleven years ago
was certainly the good old days.
but then i remember that
today is also
the good old days.
