Asheville baby photographer on finding peace in the chaos

Jesseca Bellemare, found of The Modern Baby Co. and an Asheville baby photographer, talks about finding peace in chaos of all that she does:

I have come to appreciate and be in awe of the patience, calm and in-the-nowness this niche demands. In the whirlwind of my everyday life I try to pause, even for just a moment, to be present; to turn off the inner chatter and the need to quickly finish the task at hand just so I can move onto the next one. This is undoubtedly a feat with small children’s untiring play, craft projects, paper airplanes and Leggos tucked into every crevice of the house, with the never ending echos of laundry, dirty dishes and meal planning calling for my attention. But when I sit in a toasty warm room surrounded by soft blankets and handmade knits, the sounds of white noise and a mother’s whispered shushes, the softness and innocent calm of a newborn baby, I become completely and totally present.
