I loved this more than I could say. There’s a story within your images that is told, and I was completely entranced. Your everyday moments ooze a magic. The feeling you capture feels like I’m up at midnight reading a novel. It even reminds me of the feelings of a novel I read when I was younger that I can’t remember the name of. I scrolled through this twice, and I found even more beauty the second time around. A nesting doll of insight and beauty. Here’s to 2024, to you, to nurturance. x
Brooke, your words give me such a tingling flush of joy. It means so much to hear that you found some magic in this post, that it reminded you of a story just out of reach. I don't always think of these types of images that way - I always consider my more deliberate art shoots as the real *story* - but your impression is a reminder that those elements are still present, even when it's not what I'm deliberately trying to do. Thank you for that ♥
Adore these images. Adore your art. Adore your word Nurture. I am sure it will serve you beautifully this year coming. Congratulations on this huge rebirth year lovely... it’s wild. Xx
Thank you so much Lauren 💕 the more I think on it, the more it really sinks in just how monumental it all was. Wishing you and your family the best this new year xo
Love the photos telling a story and beautifully captured. Yes to years that weaves the joy + beauty and the challenging moments. Your word nurture for this year can already be felt through your 2023 photos.
Your photography is stunning! My word for the year is Nourish, very similar vibe to Nurture! I look forward to seeing how the word and intention unfolds for us both. 💗
Thank you Mariah! Nourish is a lovely word, it makes me think of good home cooked meals and drinking lots of water. I like the idea of nourishing creativity 🩵
This is so so beautiful. I was pregnant with my first in 2023 and birthed my Son end of august and it was also a difficult year and yet the most amazing one for us. I am craving privacy for our family as well, and yet there is also beauty id love to share. I may make a similar post, thank you for the inspo, and thank you for sharing this snippet in your life, these images are gorgeous and it is all so artistic!
Happy to meet another new mama on here 🥰 I feel the same way, the year was such a contrast of extreme highs and lows. It warms my heart to hear that you found some inspiration from my post ♥ I'd say listen to your instincts for whatever does/does not feel right to share and give yourself permission to let it evolve as you go. If you do make a post please tag me in it, I'd love to see!
Wow, 2023 was a huge year for you! Big life and death events. Thank you for sharing some images of these vulnerable moments. They're so beautiful! I love Nurture as your word for 2024. That feels so good!
So huge - my husband and I were just talking about how is feels like this year and 2020 will stand out in our memories as times of great upheaval. Not that 2021/22 didn't have big events (we bought our house and got married in those years), but 20/23 felt like the foundation shaking and reorienting itself.
Doesn't Saturn change houses every three years or so? Maybe that's it 😆
For me, 2022 was one of the worst years on record. I definitely felt like one of Saturn's kids being devoured. 2023 was so much better for me, but I think I'm the odd one out here. I've heard from so many of my friends that 2023 was nearly unbearable. Here's to 2024 being an island of calm, steady growth, love, and creativity for us all!
The trend in my circle has definitely been that 2023 was a rough go. I have such conflicting feelings about it, because it was the year my son was born and I had some of the best personal growth I've ever had - but goddam it was also hard. I came out of it feeling more centered and like myself and content than I have before, but that happened in part because of the turmoil. Here's to hoping 2024 is a gentler season!
p.s. I'm going to keep that image of Saturn devouring his children in mind. Maybe there's some kind of cosmic reflection of that happening every time that planet changes signs!

The same to you love. A very fulfilling 2024. Thanks for sharing.! Oma
The images alone tell your precious story. Thank you for sharing 🙏

Oh I hadn’t thought of that but it rings true ♥️ I guess I’ve been in a nurture space ever since my little one was born

I love the idea of explorations and intentions!
It feels so much gentler than goals doesn’t it!
Yes!
Thank you for your vulnerability. It's such a joy to get glimpses of the life that makes all your creative magic possible!
Thanks Sara 🥰 I'm definitely wanting to share more of the behind-the-scenes lately, it feels more tangible and like it grounds the rest of what I do

NURTURE! I think this is the perfect intention for you. I loved this post, Kerani. Thank you for sharing.
