Just a few life lessons that probably took me way

Just a few life lessons that probably took me way long to learn/still learning. Hopefully you have or will take these to heart much sooner than I did! 💁🏻‍♀️

Also check out my previous post to see some special Valentine’s Day promos ❤️❤️

Valentines is nearly here and who doesn’t need a sweet, sentimental gift for your Significant Other?!
.
From now until Valentine’s Day, we are having a special deal for sweethearts and Galentines (because you can totally be happily single and get yourself a treat too!). Couples custom Portraits will be an all time low of $45 and single portraits will be down to $25!! Seriously grab these up as fast as you can, I have never done portraits for this cheap and don’t know when they will be again 😱😱

I’ve been seeing this new challenge for artists

I’ve been seeing this new challenge for artists called #toonme it looked like fun and a good warm up for getting back into portraits. Here’s mine. I’m really happy with how it turned out and hopefully will be more consistent with my content now 😊

For the next while I’m looking to share real mom

For the next while I’m looking to share real moments from real people. .
If you would like to be featured in this please share with me a photo of a time in your life everything changed (for better or worse) and a little of your story surrounding the photo.
.
I would like to draw your photo and turn your story into an up lifting affirmation. Through both Joy and Pain there are lessons to be learned and beauty in the chaos.
.
All posts will be Anonymous (unless you would like for me to share your name), and the photo does not have to be of a person. It can be of anything. If you’re willing, I would love to share your story 🥰

Dear mother, I see you in the middle of the night.

Dear mother, I see you in the middle of the night. Your eyes are barely open and I know you’re so tired. But you woke just for me. You came to my call even though you had barely fallen asleep when I woke.
.
I know you think you’re failing at being my mother, but I think you’re MAGICAL. In my eyes, you are loving and I feel how deeply you care about me. I’ll love you forever, dear mother. .
Don’t forget, you’re MAGICAL!

As mom’s we often feel like we aren’t enough

As mom’s we often feel like we aren’t enough for our kids. We try day in day out, but the tiny voice in our head says we didn’t try enough. We aren’t, enough. .
But that’s not even close to true. We are trying, we fail sometimes, but we get back up and try again the next day, and the next and the next. Through God, We are enough.

In the midst of the chaos of life, I am who YOU say I am. I’m a child of God, yes I am.

Merry Christmas from everyone that isn’t really feeling in the Christmas spirit this year, but we’re still trying.
Merry Christmas and happy humbug!

This is a quote from another Mom on here that I’ve been following along with for a while. @madisonviningblog
Honestly this is probably my general mantra of Motherhood, Especially on Monday’s.
.
I love my kids, I love my job and I generally love Christmas, but that doesn’t negate the hard days. Being a good mom don’t equal “every day will be good”. Some days will be HARD. Sometimes very very hard! Some days we want to pull our hair out, run away, or list everyone and everything on Etsy just to get a Freaking break from it all.
.
Being a good mom comes into play in the 2nd half of the mantra. “Tomorrow we’ll try again”. No matter how hard this day was, tomorrow I’m going to try again with it all. Tomorrow I get to try to have more patience, to worry less, to be more productive, whatever it may be. Tomorrow is a new slate and I’m willing to try again. What will you be trying again tomorrow?

While I love to illustrate portraits, sometimes I need to take a little creative break and drawing something a little different! 😏

#babyyodamemes have taken the world by storm as of recently (thanks @disneyplus ), so I thought I would jump on the band wagon with my own baby Yoda (not actually Yoda though) illustration 💁🏻‍♀️ let me know in the comments if y’all would like a free phone wall paper made out of this one 🥰

I’ve been so blessed to have a good amount of work come my way in the past few months. I’m so very thankful to all of you for that.
.
Now as I have pasted the one year mark since I started my illustration business, I see how much God really helped me to stay true to my word of the year, persistence.
.
I started the year with that word because I knew the first year with this business would be hard. And likely I would want to quit right off the bat. Leads and sales were incredibly slow and honestly my work at the beginning wasn’t very good either. It took close to a year to really find my groove, learn how to network and cultivate leads, learning what my clients actually wanted to buy from me, and honestly just truly finding my style!
.
I’ve tried on so many hats in the process of finding my style over the past year, it amazes me that some of you stuck around through all of that. Let’s be really, I was a bit of a hot mess. But it was worth it all in the end. I’m thankful for all of you, for your support and for being my cheerleaders which I felt like I wasn’t good enough 🥰🥰
.
Side note if you’re wanting to get in a family portrait in time for Christmas, don’t wait too much longer so I have time to get it ready for you 🎄☃️

Shattered.
My heart
My hope
My family
A miscarriage is a loss. Either easier or harder because you knew the person for such a short amount of time. But a time filled with so many hopes, dreams, and plans. All of those now shattered.
In your mind there will always be an “empty seat” at the table for a small figure that you never quite saw.
You go on with life always wondering what color their hair was, how tall they’d be, if they’d need glasses or if they got their Daddy’s height. All questions with answers stolen away.
.
But there is hope in the knowledge of seeing the small face one day and a bond with others who have gone down this road. -Words by Sarah Mitchell @mama.rue.x3
