God Bless Rocco Angelo 🙏 Yesterday we baptized our baby boy and welcomed him into our faith with some of our closest family in an intimate setting.
Growing up, going to Catholic school my whole life honestly never impacted what I believe today. If anything, it made faith feel more like something to learn, like any other subject….Rather than something to feel.
As I’ve gotten older, and especially since becoming a mom, I’ve realized how much faith has become a part of the way I want to live. For me, it’s found in the simplest things: trusting myself, choosing patience, loving others for who they are, reading my daily scripture book from Amazon because 2 minute summaries is all a mom of 2 can do sometimes Lol (because it doesn’t need to be perfect to be impactful). Or a quiet moment during nap time to reflect on what I’m grateful for. (You’d be surprised how powerful the last one is)
I think faith can feel complicated when we pile too much onto it. For me, it became much more meaningful when I stripped it back to something simple and instinctual. The same way we teach our babies to eat, talk, and take their first steps. Little by little. Easy and obvious. I believe faith should feel the same way.
In our home, I hope to teach by example that God is a feeling, a friend to talk to, and a steady belief that something good can come from everything. Even the hard things, especially the hard things. And that you don’t need to carry anything alone.
It’s subtle. It’s strong. It softens you. It gives you something to lean on. And is a big reason why I am who I am.
And since beginning this business and capturing new and unique humans every single week of my life the past 5.5 years, how could I not believe this perspective has shaped the way I see people? Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and this POV allows me to make room to see each of you as special, as you deserve to be seen in real life, but also in front of my camera.
So thank you, God, for welcoming my Rocco into your faith. May he always know that he is loved, safe, capable, and never alone.
I love you, my Roc. ❤️🙏
