Safe Haven: Where families feel supported, understood, and empowered.
•
Last year, Safe Haven Chiropractic asked me to take branding photos during some of their pediatric, prenatal, and postpartum sessions in their bright, beautifully, and thoughtfully decorated space. As I was revisiting some of these images, I thought I would reach out to Dr. Khan with some questions about Safe…

This is 40
•
It crept up on me. I mean, that’s what you say every year, right? But, 22 year old me couldn’t imagine being older. I was in a tough place that lasted several years, and couldn’t imagine a time outside of everything being tiring and painful (emotionally — I’m a super…

Acadia National Park | Maine
•
Yesterday was one of my most favorite days. Not just of 2020, but of all of the days that I’ve known. Without the curveballs 2020 threw our way, I don’t know how long it would’ve taken us to get our butts up to finally see Maine. This rocky beach in…

To all you badass parents
•
Something I have loved about every single session with this family is that I always catch a few shots of this badass mama interacting with one of the kiddos while the others are running around, or just paying attention to something else. What a juggling act it is (and especially…
