Embracing Motherhood: A Timeless Maternity Session in The Woodlands

Motherhood is an ever-evolving journey—one that begins long before birth and continues through the cherished moments of growth, love, and connection. In a recent session at my indoor studio in The Woodlands, Texas, I had the privilege of capturing a stunning maternity portrait session that will serve as a timeless heirloom for generations to come.

Dressed in a classic white tank top and blue jeans, this beautiful mother-to-be radiated warmth and grace. Her three-year-old daughter, mirroring her in a matching outfit, brought an undeniable sweetness to the session. The light gray background accentuated their bond, allowing the emotions and expressions to shine through—tender embraces, shared laughter, and quiet moments of reflection.

We explored a variety of poses, each telling a chapter of this intimate story. The mother alone, her hands gently cradling the life within, standing strong yet soft. A moment of serenity as she sat, lost in thought, awaiting the arrival of her newest love. A playful interaction with her daughter, whose light brown curls framed an expression of adoration—innocent and full of wonder.

Every detail, from the mother’s long, flowing curls to the daughter’s tiny hands wrapped around her belly, was carefully illuminated to create images that transcend time. These portraits are more than just photographs; they are a legacy—a tangible reminder of love, anticipation, and the powerful connection between a mother and her children.

For those who seek elegant, meaningful maternity photography that captures not just an image, but a feeling, this session was a perfect example of how the right lighting, styling, and authentic moments can create something truly extraordinary.

Some subconscious fun

You might've heard people saying that are our brain is amazing and capable of astounding things and well they're not wrong. Your brain is the most complex organ in the body with billions of neurons that have trillions of connections called synapses that makes it able to communicate, with this information how can we say that it's not amazing?

Our consciousness is thought to sit at the cerebral cortex and is said to have three levels to it. The conscious, subconscious and unconscious. They're all tasked with different things. I'll explain them all...

The conscious: This is the part that we have control over, our thoughts, feelings, decisions and acknowledgement are all made here. It's what you're using right now to read this post and also where the awareness of you reading this post is. Basically thoughts, feelings and awareness.

The subconscious: It's not in the current focus of our awareness hence called the subconscious mind. It's a barrier that's put up by our mind so that we don't become overwhelmed by all the information that we get when we interact with this world. For example our nose in the center of our vision, the feeling of our clothes or our tongue resting on the roof of our mouth. Because of this barrier we're allowed to focus our awareness on more important decision making and cognitive tasks without getting overwhelmed. This can be noticed when we decide (conscious) to pick up a new skill which can be hard to learn and do before we become a natural at it which then makes it an automatic (subconscious) skill.

The unconscious: It's perhaps the most mysterious form of consciousness since it's not available for introspection or analysis. We do know that it's a hoard of feelings, thoughts and memories lost from our conscious mind, it contains the painful past that we might simply want to forget about. Some people say that we never forget and that it just get's buried deep down within our mind and with the right signals we can recover the forgotten memories.

Now to the fun part. It's a small "experiment" that you can do every night just to see how amazing your subconscious mind truly is. Firstly I haven't found any article's stating that this is your subconscious minds doing, some say it might be your circadian rhythm (internal body clock) but I personally assume that it's your subconscious and if you know loa let's just go with it.

The experiment is you controlling when you wake up. You might go "really, that's it?" but when you first do it and it works it'll feel a bit 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂, anyways here's what to do.

Go to bed. Doesn't need to be nighttime you just need to go to sleep for this.

While falling asleep tell yourself that you'll wake up in xxx hours/minutes. For example you go to bed at 00:00 and want to wake up in 8 hours, naturally that would be 08:00 so just affirm "I will wake up in 8 hours." or "I will wake up at 08:00"

Drift off to sleep~

Wake up and check the time and it should be the designated time.

This is actually a technique used a lot in lucid dreaming method's and could also be used in shifting/manifesting/void method's. Since the brain is just like a sponge when you wake up it absorbs any kind of information presented it with and sometimes induces "hallucinations". I'd recommend shorting the time you sleep if you're gonna use it as a method though. It's also pretty similar if not the same to SATS.

This has worked for me on multiple occasions and if you wake up and the time doesn't match when you wanted to wake up it might be because you already woke up earlier and just went back to sleep and forgot about it later, happened with me a few times but because of signals I remembered. I even got rid of my alarm for school because of this and I still woke up in time for school.

warning: if this post does NOT resonate with you or your beliefs feel free to ignore it, you don't need to send hate or make posts on how stupid this is or that it's wrong. some might misunderstand this post (like the last one) and make misguided comments, please think a little before you open your mouth :). yapping session is cause i'm really interested in this topic lol.

VROOM (harry lewis x reader)

face claim : no one exact

notes : im an absolute noob at writing fics so please excuse the quality lmao. im petrified of posting on here but ive been thinking about starting a blog for over a year. im open to feedback, opinions and any sort of questions/advice is welcome! i happen to waffle a lot so just skip those parts if uninterested. this is my first post so enjoy 😝 also pls request because i have the creativity of a koala so id appreciate some ideas :D

pairings : harry lewis x reader , lando norris x platonic!reader

"WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?! Are you actually serious?" You asked your boyfriend in genuine shock, followed by a laugh from the man dressed in head to toe in Ferrari merch. The red and yellow colors clashed hilariously with the sleek, orange McLaren paddock pass hanging around his neck.

"What? I thought I'd support the winning team." He shrugged, a cheeky grin spreading across his face. You and Harry got invited by the Mclaren F1 team to watch the Silverstone Grand Prix from the paddock. As a Formula 1 fan youself, you were excited to see the cars upclose. To watch the mechanics to the pitstops, engineers do their things (idk what they do lmao) and to watch Max Verstappen overlap the whole grid like seven times. Even since you were a little kid you were amazed by those cars driving freakishly quickly. Now, several years later you get to experience it right infront of your eyes.

"Look, there's Lando!" Harry pointed out, spotting your friend talking to a group of mechanics. You approached Lando, who broke into a wide grin as he saw you. "Hey! There are my favorite YouTubers!"

You beamed. "Lando! It's so good to see you. How's it going?"

"It's been wild but amazing," Lando replied, glancing at Harry. "And I see you've managed to get Harry in the right gear this time."

Harry laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, I had a little help with that."

Lando gave you two a playful nudge. "So, who are you rooting for today? Besides me, of course."

You laughed. "Well, McLaren, obviously. But I'm also excited to see how the Brits perform. It's going to be an interesting race."

"That's the spirit," Lando said, his eyes twinkling with excitement. "Alright, I better get back to my team, but I'll see you guys later? Enjoy the race!"

You and Harry found a spot in the back of Landos garage, it had a view on the screens but also the pit-stop. The whole race went by fast. The moment the lights went out Lando tried his hardest with a deserved P2 at his home race.

Liked by mclaren, f1 & 1,002,485 others.

ꪆৎ KENMA HEADCANONS

CONTENT: Kenma HCS, just absolute yapping, Kenma x Reader included, they met in UNI, reader plays persona, Time-skip!

WARNING: OOC, non prof read, i suck at writing

AN: I had this in mind while grinding on brawlstars, and I took some lines on pinterest for inspiration LOL yes i play brawlstars

ᯓᡣ𐭩.ᐟ ⊹

• was banned from roblox multiple times for bullying people with you

• both of you aren't fans of PDA but whenever you get stuck in a crowd, you hold his hand so you don't lose him in the crowd. vice versa

• he is a pussy and couldn't ask you out himself.. but God was probably in his favor because you asked him out yourself (hdodhsjfuns kenma was going crazy when you asked him out)

• this might sound silly but he confessed first. YES you heard that right he confessed first!! 🗣️🔥 and obviously you said yes you said no as a joke then he broke down until you started kissing him

• he's the type to stare at you instead of the breathtaking view. (you're the breathtaking view in his eyes.)

• he loves whenever you pepper his face with kisses after his long streams

• cannot flirt for the love of god. he would step on his words and just wished he kept his mouth shut cause all that would come out is "i don't know how to flirt imma just stare at you until you marry me." and he follows on with his words (HE'S PANICKING INTERNALLY)

• his heart would absolutely melt at the sight of you right in front of him but ofc he'd never admit that

• the type to want you close to him all the time, aka spending time together like building legos, puzzles

• you are the type to make him do those couples trends you see on social media, you stumbled upon a couple video where they switch paintings every 5 minutes, and of course the great S/O you are, you make Kenma do it with you.

• whenever he's sulking or upset, he needs you to coax him out of it. would sulk even more if you don't realize it at first.

• HIS FAVORITE SODA/SOFT DRINK IS DEFINITELY MONSTER. PIPELINE PUNCH FLAVORED SPECIFICALLY.

• he would be very gentle and patient with you no matter what it is, after a heated conversation, or a personal issue, he will always be patient with you. also vice versa!

• YOU DRAGGED HIM INTO PLAYING PERSONA. He loves loves LOVESSS persona 3 reload 🙌 you created a monster cause he says persona reference all the time. "you disturbed my peace. Disturbing the peace—" Gosh i love persona..

• his love language is quality time, acts of service AND DEFINITELY GIFT GIVING.

• mf would buy you a dress in all the colors available because he "felt" like it

• he flexes you on stream without you even knowing. he would flex you on stream whenever he gets a chance, "FUCK YOU I'D RATHER SPEND TIME WITH MY S/O THAN LOSE MY MIND PLAYING WITH YOU—!"

• doesn't easily get jealous cause he knows damn well nobody can ever replace him 🤣🤣 anyway.. if he ever does get jealous he'll make that clear that you're his

• I absolutely love thinking about how he'd get flustered whenever hes helping you get ready, such as fixing your tie, or zipping the back of your outfit.. ykwim 🙌

Portraits of Dr. Lauren Campbell: A Living Magazine Feature

In March 2024, I had the pleasure of photographing Dr. Lauren Campbell of Cypress Dermatology for Living Magazine’s Cypress, Texas edition. The shoot took place in her well-designed office, a welcoming space that reflects her practice’s commitment to care. Dr. Campbell wore long off-white pants and a coral silk top, looking polished and confident—her natural ease shining through in every shot. This session, part of an advertising feature for the magazine, highlighted the new Cypress Dermatology location serving North-West Houston and Cypress. With soft light filling the familiar public areas of her office, the photos capture a blend of professionalism and warmth.

𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐆𝐘 𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐁𝐘 𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐊𝐘 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝟏𝟐

🍁 There is positive and challenging traits in every planet no matter if it’s a benefic or malefic planet. Malefic planets just happen to have MORE challenging traits than the benefic planets

🍁 Pluto/Scorpio/8th house placements can show where we have the most control over how others view/perceive us and 10th house placements can show where we don’t

🍁 People with Mars in the 11th house can manifest things very quickly. This is because Mars rules over speed/desires and the 11th house rules over manifesting

🍁 Neptune can show what addictions we have and Pluto can show our obsessions -> addictions based on Neptune

🍁 Pluto can represent toxicity but people always get it twisted and think that means Scorpio placements are toxic which is untrue. Astrology is a polarity and you can take on positive and challenging traits. Not every Scorpio will take on the trait of being toxic especially if there’s a lot of positive aspects to your Pluto or Scorpio placements

🍁 The 4th and 5th house can tell about your favorite holidays. This is because the 4th house rules over traditions and the 5th house rules over festivities

🍁 Having your 5th house ruler in the 9th house can indicate talent in photography

🍁 If you have a Synastry aspect with benefic planets but it happens to be a square/opposite aspect it will still bring challenges regardless. This doesn’t mean it’s inherently negative though as challenges can of course be worked through and bring a positive outcome through effort

🍁 Your Saturn in somebody’s 2nd house in Synastry can indicate you having a trauma bond with the 2nd house person

🍁 Pluto in the 7th house in Composite Charts (if this specific challenging trait is taken on) can indicate you both love the toxicity in your relationship and are addicted to the pain because it’s a constant roller coaster and thrill for you both. Kind of similar to a Nate and Maddy from Euphoria type vibe

Hihi! I was wondering, would you take requests for reader based on characters from shows/games?:3 also, I’d like 2 request a gn!child reader w Dottore - reader is quiet and doesn’t like to be out or talk to people a lot, but when someone mentions something remotely interesting they rant a lot!! :D

Hello! You're Request has been made!

I do take request from Shows or games, but if it comes to shows, you can request them, but i never did watch many so i would have to go watch the show first before i make your Request

(*^^*)♡

TALKATIVE/SHY GN!CHILD READER & PLATONIC DOTTORE

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

You've been Dottore's child since 2 years already

At first it was hard for him because you didn't talk a lot

That seemed to change when he began talking about one of GN!readers hobbys

Not even a second after he bought up the topic you began to rant

Dottore was impressed, who knew you would talk a lot if its something you like?

You always seemed to hide behind him when there were a lot of people, but when you're alone with your father figure you became an extrovert who couldn't stop yapping

Once you started talking theres no stopping you

"Its nice.? That were talking about this... but i must go? I shall see you tomorrow"-dottore

"OH! Don't worry i can just come with you!(((o(*°▽°*)o)))"-You

You followed him. FOR 2 HOURS AND DIDNT STOP YAPPING😭🙏

After that day he still listened, but he does sometimes just drop you off next to one of the lower ranks

Everytime someone new comes into the same room as you and Dottore, you're suddently quieter than a damn Mouse

You then hide behind dottores leg until they're gone

The Fatui thinks that you're just really introverted and don't like talking

Who's gonna tell them that you just won't stop talking?

Dottore once left you alone in a Meeting room, when he came back to take you to you're room, he saw you and childe yapping

You were talking so many sentences in a minute, and Childe was listening to everything you said💀

"AND I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE-" -You

"HM HM YES I AGREE OMG DO YOU THINK-" -Childe

" ٩(๑･ิᴗ･ิ)۶٩(･ิᴗ･ิ๑)۶" -you both

Dottore just stood there :(・_・ヾ"

You both talked for 5 hours

Dottore has banned you from meeting Childe every day

You have playdates with childe every week so you both can yap

Childe told the Harbingers that you and him get along really well and talk a lot

The Harbingers just thought he was delusional💀🙏

Until they saw you and childe yapping together

The Harbingers lowkey avoid you and childe when yall are together, because why should they hear you yap about smth for HOURS?

Dottore finds it calming when you yap while he does an experiment, it helps him focus because of the background noises

Summary: You are one of a yapper who doesen't stop talking, but Dottore loves that about you. He feels calm when he hears you talk a lot, he knows that you're okay whenever you yap

Thanks for reading! I hope you liked it and do give me Requests! ☆⌒ヽ(*'､^*)chu

GODS. the fact that penelope and odysseus’ first meaningful physical contact in would you fall in love with me again was a hug is just so powerful.

because yes, a passionate kiss is romantic, but what’s more emotionally moving than romance? pulling your lover, who you’ve been separated from for 20 years, as close to you as you can; finally feeling their warmth after an eternity; crying together for the first time in forever; becoming whole again.

odysseus and penelope are undeniably soulmates. but soulmates aren’t just romantic - every aspect of their beings is inextricable, they are two halves that make a whole, their fates are intertwined. they’re friends, they’re lovers (in this case), they’re each other’s everything.

a kiss can be just a quick peck; a kiss can be long, deep and passionate; a kiss can be many things. but how much trust do you need for a kiss?

a hug, though - you might not realize it, but to hug someone, you trust them. you trust them to surround you, to hold you.

there’s so much more power in a hug than just in a kiss. both show love, but a kiss represents only romantic love, while a hug represents every single kind.

thank you for listening to my very important ted talk (yap session) 😌

I’m all for Landoscar sharing a braincell moments in the new video

Here’s my cut:

“Wow look at you” yeah Oscar… we see you looking-

And not only were they on the same wavelength, Oscar confirming Lando as “an artiste” and approving the sketchy #LN4thewin pun got me. Like BOY 👏 I see you 🤨

Updated video cos I felt the need to also include Oscar reaffirming Lando’s smartness with the lights out drawing
