Ceremonial Maternity Photos | Green Lake Seattle
Now a mama of 3, rituals are my way of approaching routine, adding the right amount of romance I need that opens me up to more pleasure.
It looks like rising before dawn to tend to my babies’ needs. Carving space to go within. Prioritizing me-time (even if just for a few mins!) so I can breathe easier. Infusing joy into the mundane.
When you create rituals over routines, you hold ceremony for yourself — and others — to celebrate the milestones you’ve worked hard to receive. Create a ritual that pulls you in, one that allows others to cherish you, too, as you co-create with them the world you are building.
To ritualize 1 year working with my doula, I had a maternity shoot at Green Lake in Seattle with Rachel Koscka (@themoodydoula) before I gave birth to Ali’i.
