So many AMAZING brides over the last couple of months, and just no time to post them. 🤍💍🥂

08/25/2026

Posting on social media has been so difficult for me lately, not because I don’t love what I do or enjoy working with all of the amazing people I’ve met over the last month. It’s just that since my mom passed away, I feel like I need to spend as much time as possible in the present. And, as we all know, social media takes us as far away from the present as we can possibly be.

I’m not going to try to fool anyone on here. My mom annoyed me more often than not. She could be hurtful, demanding, and unequivocally disappointing when it came to her decisions regarding her health. But, beyond the flaws lied an abundance of love that she had for all of us. We saw it in the little things she would do. The text messages she’d send late at night when she couldn’t sleep, the way she bought all new toys for their house for when I’d come out with my girls, the kisses she’d blow when we would leave their house or when they would leave ours. These small gestures are the ones that make my heart ache. Knowing that I’ll never see her name pop up on my phone again, or hear her laugh, or see the way she would look directly into my eyes when she would talk, it all kills me.

What I’ve learned from all of this is that I don’t have more time. I thought I had more time to take the girls to see my parents more often, I didn’t. I thought I had more time to tell her how I felt, I didn’t. I thought she would live a lot longer, she didn’t. So, for now I’m spending as much time with my girls, my family, and trying to find joy. I will post more brides, more weddings, more content in general, when I’m ready. For now I’m just living my new normal, trying to wrap my head around the fact that mom is no longer here.

The last 9 days have been the most difficult and painful time in my life. On July 15th my mom went into the hospital and never came home.

Over the last 8 years she has suffered from several serious health issues that kept her from living a normal life. She landed herself in the hospital a few times over the years and each time we feared she wouldn’t make it. But, my mom was tough as nails and always pulled through. Because of this we almost felt a false sense of security that nothing could take her away from us. This time was different though.

I think we all knew, including my mom, that this was the sickest she’d ever been. That night I left the hospital knowing I was never going to see her alive again. Within an hour of me being home, I received the call that my mom had passed. Nothing could have prepared me for the devastating feeling that I felt and have felt since that night.

Today, we said goodbye to her one last time. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and all of her loved ones came to celebrate her. It was the kind of day she would have wanted. I imagined her looking down on us, completely whole again, happy, mobile, and celebrating with all of her loved ones who left before her. Eating her favorite foods, zipping around in her walking shoes, and holding her beloved cat Pansy.

My mom always supported me. When I started my makeup artist business, she talked me up to all of her friends and made sure that I knew that I was capable of doing what my heart wanted. She was always the first one to comment on my posts telling me how talented I was. I will miss seeing these so much.

My mom was very spiritual and she’s already sent me several signs that she’s near me. I hope she continues to send them because I don’t know how to navigate my world without her. I will love her and miss her for the rest of my life. One thing is for certain, I am so thankful that she no longer has to suffer.

I love you, momma. 💔
