a little love letter, from me

just adore these from @blueiriscreativeco.

this shoot has been on the bucket list for me for awhile, so i am incredibly grateful it came together and turned into a project that i am so proud of. it feels so me!! (thank you jess!!)

a little update on myself. falling even more in love everyday. with life, with jake, with the two dogs that routinely herd us into walks, with the home we've created and how often its filled with laughter.

around march, i was diagnosed with PCOS. shortly after, i found myself throwing up every hour on the hour throughout the night. hives, a chest full of bricks that just kept getting tighter and insatiable exhaustion. after i hopped on meds, things started to get better - until they took a fun little deep dive. days without food, worse symptoms than before. but still increbily grateful for the life i was living. we bought a house, fell in love with a puppy listed in an "unwanted farm animals page" on facebook and just overall were having a really great time.

but for some reason i couldn't shake feeling sick. long story short ya girl has PoTs, hEds + MCAS!

after fainting after standing and seeing stars, i pushed ot get answers from doctors as many of my symptoms worsened and more followed.

anyways, a handicap sticker and a cane later, ya girl finally has a diagnosis for all her weird party ricks. (dislocating hips for funzies)

lifestyle is going to be a big change when it comes to recovery. I am already two years into the healing, resting and remembering to drink way more water than I think I need to.

enjoy some portraits jess took of me. i had an absolute incredible time creating with her as always!

p.s. happy ten year anniversary of ivylane to me!!
