It’s a great idea, in theory. But, naturally, as soon as we get behind, we experience overwhelm and never get around to finishing what we started. Before you know it, your child is heading off to Kindergarten, and the only thing you can recall from their earliest days were the brief notes you took between nursing sessions up to the time she was four weeks old. 

It doesn’t have to be this way! 


maybe you were once like me and thought a baby book was the only solution you needed to remembering every detail of these precious moments with your kids.

I've been there, friend.

Archival rhythms are habits that you create within your routine for heirloom documentation, for categorizing the treasures from childhood that will be meaningful to the life story of your babies. 
 
We are all busy and have the best of intentions when it comes to documenting the earliest days of our children’s lives. We buy the baby books (OH, do we buy the baby books), but when it comes down to diligence and practice, we often get overwhelmed, don’t know where to start, and don’t have enough time. 
 
This coaching experience is the solution to all of these pain-points. 

Have you ever heard of the phrase, "archival rhythms?"


Heirloom Motherhood is a system for creating archival rhythms within your routine to take the guesswork out of how to create, organize, and store tangible artifacts of your own family legacy in a way that is beautiful, intentional, and practical. This course is a “how-to” from start to finish. How to take beautiful and intentional photos, edit them, organize them, print them. How to annotate milestones and keep record of the moments you don’t want to forget with your children. And how to save and categorize tangible pass-downs and sentimental items from childhood. 


SPOILER ALERT: YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER TO CREATE BEAUTIFUL IMAGES TO DOCUMENT MOTHERHOOD (YOU JUST NEED A LITTLE TRAINING, AND THAT'S WHERE I COME IN)!

Guest calls with two experts (shhh, this one is a fun surprise)!

How to write narrative based stories to your children so they can recount the days of their childhood through their mother's unique voice.

Some. ;) Every week, I’m going to assign you a “Rhythm Audit,” which is one thing to implement to set you up for future success in your archiving. This way, by the end of the six weeks, you will be able to tangible results in your systems for documenting your motherhood journey.

FAQ

But, my career didn’t begin this way. Before I started photographing weddings, I was a teacher. My experience in Early Childhood Education serves as foundational expertise for this course. I have seen the coorelation of a child's earliest days on their self-concept. Listen to me when I say, Mama, that the time for impact on our children's becoming, on their sense of belonging, begins here!
