I’ve been seeing a lot of videos that show Christmas in the 90s.

They suck you in with the nostalgia of it all. Bing Crosby in the background, while showing incandescent lights that are impossible to find these days.

You can almost smell the cookies baking in the oven, while mom is watching TV in the kitchen.

You feel a pit in your stomach.

Why is that feeling gone? Where did it go?

You hear other adults talk about getting back to that feeling; searching for something that no longer exists.

How does a feeling just disappear?

I’ve been longing for that feeling for over half my life. It’s been decades since I experienced that magic.

Then, I became a mom.

I dreamed of giving my daughter the Christmas’s that I grew up with. I envisioned how I could give her the same whimsy.

It hit me.

My mom was the magic.

I’ve been obsessed (yep, truly obsessed) with Mother Muse’s photographs and mission for quite some time. The articles that they post are so full of reality, truth, and rawness. It’s been a dream to have my work featured with them ever since I read their first post. When they reached out to me about using my photographs from Krysten and Andrew’s maternity session, to go along with their story, I jumped at the chance. I love supporting other women, especially mothers. This article is perfection and all about the importance of helping your partner after having a baby. I mean, who can’t get behind that?! Please give it a read and then go visit their website to read more incredible posts. Let’s continue to uplift moms through their struggles and triumphs.
