The Magic of Now: Capturing Life’s Sweetest Moments with The Conways

Have you ever stopped in the middle of a chaotic day, taken a deep breath, and felt the vibrant pulse of life around you? It’s a rare moment, isn’t it? We’re all so busy chasing after the next task on our never-ending to-do lists that we forget the beauty of simply being present. Isn’t it funny how life often feels like a whirlwind, with us as mere passengers in a train speeding through moments we should cherish? What if you could pause that train, even just for a little while, to gaze out the window at the breathtaking scenery of your everyday life?
That’s the beauty wrapped up in “The Magic of Now” sessions. It’s about diving headfirst into the beautiful chaos of your life, the heartwarming snippets that truly define your family. Imagine me as a fly on the wall, stealthily documenting those unfiltered moments you hardly recognize as remarkable.

How It Works

Every journey begins with planning; it’s like setting the stage for your own personal masterpiece. Together, we craft a mood board that serves as a visual compass for our time together. Think of it as a roadmap that guides us to your unique story. Wouldn’t it be exciting to see your lifestyle captured not just in photographs, but through a lens that reflects your essence? A visual diary of sorts, where every image pulses with the energy of your family.

Gabby’s session was all about capturing her and her two adorable babies. We kicked things off by raiding her closet—yes, you read that right! As Gabby started picking out clothes for her little ones, I gently stopped her and said, “Hold up. We dress Mom first.”

Why? Because as moms, we’re always putting our kids first. Every decision, every chore, every priority revolves around them. But this session? This is about you. It’s about putting yourself first, even if just for a moment. Once Gabby’s outfit was sorted, we coordinated pieces for her little ones to match her effortless vibe.

A Day to Remember

The session itself felt like hanging out with an old friend. Gabby even made a stunning charcuterie board (and let me tell you, I’m a sucker for a good charcuterie board!). Between the snacks and laughter, I captured moments that felt completely authentic—cuddling with her chubby-cheeked baby, dancing in the kitchen, and all the tiny, magical in-between moments.

As moms, we’re often the ones behind the camera, snapping pictures of everyone else. “The Magic of Now” is your time to shine, to be seen, and to have those precious memories preserved forever. “The Magic of Now” isn’t just a mantra; it’s an opportunity to shine. Those authentic photographs are treasures, a narrative of your motherhood and your family’s laughter.

Life can be fleeting, and those little moments of joy often slip through our fingers like grains of sand. Yet, when they are immortalized in photographs, they become eternal. So, the next time you find yourself caught up in the whirlwind, ask yourself: When was the last time you lived fully in the moment? Take a chance to embrace the chaos—because within that chaos lies the real magic of your life, just waiting to be captured. Life is waiting, vibrant and full of promise; together, let’s seize it, frame by frame.

Photo Journal: Kat’s Picnic for Two

3E4A3597   One of the beautiful things in the world to me, is the radiance of a woman who’s transitioning into a new stage of motherhood.
One of my dearest friend’s Kat is expecting, and her and her spouse couldn’t be happier. Due to these past couple of months being a rough in the world, we’ve stayed away from each other as recommended, but I love having girl dates.
I think making time for your girlfriends is essential. They’re the ones that listen to all your troubles, make you laugh and are with you every step of your journey, so why wouldn’t I go out of my way to do a little something simple, like plan a picnic.
We made our way to the most obsolete part of the park, 6 feet had nothing us today. Our speaker was blasting reggeaton, while we caught up on everything that’s going on in our lives at the same time. Where do you even begin?
For me that was a little easy, as my trusty camera was ready. But let’s be clear this photo session was not planned, not even a little a bit… but I was eager to document some part of her journey— even if I was a little late, and even if she’s almost due.
