Mother’s Day

10th May 202210th May 2022 by megmessina

I’ve always liked to think about my mom outside her role of “mom” – she’s a fascinating person. She was only 25 when she had me but she lived a very full life before I ever came along. ⁠ ⁠ Laurie and her sister, Marilyn (my auntie/also like a mom) were some of the first … Read more Mother’s Day

You made us feel so comfortable & I’m obsessed with the pictures! We will absolutely be calling you for any upcoming events or milestones. We couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.

I didn’t really know what to expect from the documentary style, but you have far exceeded any expectation! You’ve managed to capture the little quirks & moments that define us as a family. These photos are so meaningful, thank you!”

    "I love how open you are to capturing life & letting it be. It's a tough barrier to break in my opinion & you do it so beautifully. You accept life in all of its glory. It's what I love about your photographs the most. There's a certain reverence for life that you're able to capture & it's so unique to your beautiful heart. Thanks for letting things be okay."

    here we are melting away⁠ here we are coming hom here we are melting away⁠
here we are coming home⁠
⁠
to the tree branches we'd swing from⁠
& climb up high⁠
to the tops of bright pink petals⁠
touching a blue sky hazy with springtime⁠
⁠
our childhood cells tucked in a crevice⁠
where the trunk meets the limb⁠
our feet pack the earth when we'd jump to the ground⁠
echoing down to the roots⁠
where our parents arrived⁠
⁠
they twist into the soil to feed deep red buds⁠
bursting into baby pink clouds⁠
where we'd climb back up & tuck inside⁠
proud chubby feet swinging below⁠
⁠
we call out "look gramma!" to the picture window⁠
reflecting light & color & ourselves⁠
but she's also there⁠
just inside⁠
calmly cheering us higher to where⁠
the blooms meet the sky meet the world⁠
⁠
here we are climbing up⁠
here we are coming home⁠
⁠
for Hazel & the Virgo full moon⁠
    my little sister & the cherry tree my little sister & the cherry tree
    Focus is overrated. Feeling is everything.
