Tracey, otherwise known as Potty to her friends, is one of those people who brings a smile to everyone she meets. Anytime that I have a bad day, this little ray of sunshine can turn it around, and she’s always there for you when you need her.

Her little habit of collecting photographs of hearts in nature has spread, and she gets tagged in so many posts with clouds, stones, flowers, leaves, and sometimes even painted hearts. Bringing a little ping to each and every heart.

She and her daughter joined me in my studio for a mommy and me shoot as part of my Worthy Women campaign. Everyone has a story to tell, and deserves to feel like a princess for the day. Of course, she took the assignment to the next level, with matching outfits for them both, and despite a recently added cast to a broken arm, the two of them rocked their shoot!

This gorgeous mamma is a powerhouse of strength!
