My happy place. … I haven’t been on instagram in over 2 years. I’m coming back, slowly, and it feels nice to share. I haven’t shot a camera with joy in much much longer. These are some of the first pictures I’ve taken that I felt connected again to that art form. Feels good. Let’s see what comes of all this… by @jamesmankoff

A light rain, followed by a gentle thunderstorm was overshadowed by a double rainbow that presented itself to us out in Red Rock National Park. I watched a lightning bolt shatter it’s way through the center of this little dust devil as it slowly grew into a tornado. taken in Red Rock National Park by @jamesmankoff

Watching Rain grow and develop has been one of the most beautiful things to experience. I’ve realized that as I witness him growing, I too am growing alongside him and experiencing subtle yet significant shifts in my own transformation as a woman and a mother. It’s difficult to put into words, but with each stage, something new unfolds—things that were there all along, just waiting to be challenged and opened so you can become a more grounded and expanded version of yourself.

It’s a complete surrender to who you are becoming, even if who that is feels unknown. It’s a softening of your heart while feeling so strong at the same time. It’s seeing what you find beautiful and nurturing in your own mother now living within yourself.

I finally understand what it means to be a mother, and it is the most rewarding, challenging, and proudest thing I will ever do or be. Happy Mother’s Day to all who mother ❤️ Photos by @filmofalways by @jamesmankoff
