Layla + Rylee

Hey mamas – Amy here! But more often than not, I get called Layla with a Rylee thrown in here and there. I joke that I don’t mind – I picked their names after all! Layla is my daughter, and Rylee is my son.ย

Mama...

There’s so much motherhood has taught me; it’s framed and shaped me into the woman I see in the mirror today. Strong, resilient, capable: all badges of honor I earned in this role. I have two preteens these days, and find myself clinging to every little moment I can while I watch the years fly by.

If I could go back, and talk with myself as the overwhelmed PPD struggling mama 12 years ago…I would tell her it’s all worth it. Everything I poured into these two little humans would be returned in ways that mean so much. Pride for who they’ve become, and who they’re evolving into; joy in their accomplishments and grace in their failures; fulfillment from the way they uniquely fill my cup, and share their love with me. Of all the things I’ll miss one day, I hope they always have a place for snugglin’ with mama.

Artist...

It’s crazy to look back at how early my path as a photographer began. I was only 10 years old when I felt pulled towards photography – teaching myself how to work the exposure triangle and utilize the power of photoshop. Trust me, I hardly believe it myself. There’s been so many phases in life where I doubted myself…but the one thing I’ve always known is that I am an artist.

The joy I feel when I’m creating is absolutely irreplaceable. There’s just something so magical about turning my visions into reality. From photography, web design, and illustrating…to sewing, woodworking, and crafting…my artistry knows no bounds. Each and every piece of art I create is fueled by boundless passion.

Soul...

A decade from now – I know the art I created for the doting first time mama will still be seen and treasured. My soul feels peace. Two decades from now, the moments I captured between dad and daughter will be looked back on at her wedding. My soul feels purpose. Three decades from now, the photos of that sweet baby girl will be shared with her own child.ย My soul feels fulfilled.

As the years pass, the thought of what I’ll leave behind on this earth weighs more on my mind. One amazing thing about the universe is – often, it seems to know exactly what I need. My soul finds heavy comfort in the reach of my work and the value it holds. Through my expression of art, my soul feels free to be just as it was meant to be.

With love, Amy
