Mom 2.0 Summit: A Photo Essay…with Words
Re-entry is hard. Real hard…
Wait, let me start at the beginning….
Last week I had the honor of not only attending my very first Mom 2.0 Summit , but I spoke and was actually nominated by my peers for an Iris Award.
I spoke with my friend Jennifer from Baby Making Machine about Visual Storytelling and telling your story through photography and video with sponsored posts. And SEO for those photos and videos.

I feel like Mom 2.0 was epic.
And my heart is full.
I met a lot of bloggers that I have admired for a long time and followed and interacted online with. I met my mentors in my head, and found out that they were just as nice and knowledgeable in person as I thought they would be.
I hugged and rocked with old friends…..
And made new ones.
I took early walks on the beach with my camera, met with brands, ate delicious food, and was reminded that this is not my mother’s version of motherhood..
Taking a small break overlooking the ocean and reflecting that hey..this is my life…..
I attended sessions that not only will help this blog be a better place for you to visit, but also ones that fed my soul and helped me realize that yes, my version of motherhood matters. And it’s my story to tell, my way…
And even though I didn’t win an Iris award, I loved being nominated and walking the red carpet and cheering for friends and realizing that twerking ain’t easy( there are no photos of that and all videos have expired….)
I came away from this conference with ideas and goals and thoughts and priceless memories.
And the clear message that it was OK to do me.
It is ok to share myself, my thoughts, my photos, my life with you all.
I can’t wait to get started!
I can’t wait for next year! I am so happy for you. I think knowing that we are all different types of mothers and being able to embrace that is important. Glad you had a good time.
Wow! I can seriously feel the happy vibes in this post. I’m so glad you had a great time.
What a great time you had, and that view, gorgeous!
I HAVE to find a way to make it to this next year! No excuses. Glad you had fun 🙂
I loved following your IG during this. So glad you were able to go and I can tell you had a great experience. Looking forward to reading more about it!!!
Just beautiful! Your work is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
Love this – makes me feel like I’m back there. I think I’ll bookmark and revisit weekly until Orlando…
I hadnt heard of this but i need to look into it for next year. It looks like you had an amazing time! I follow you on IG I thought you were on vacay… nice to work and vacay in one right?? Dope pics as always! Love love LOVE it!!
I sat in on the session you did with Jennifer Borget and you guys were so good. You seemed like a pro and I had no idea it was your first time there!
I was in on your session with Jennifer Borget. The two of you were awesome! You were a pro and I would have had no idea that it was your first time there.
Great recap of the summit. I loved your photos. I always love your photos. To be able to be in a room full of bloggers and your mentors is great.
Wow! Awesome that you spoke at a conference and were nominated for an award. That is a great honor. I hope to attend my first conference this year.
Congratulations on the nomination! This sounds like a great summit. I definitely want to attend more conferences this year.

Stunning photos as usual, and a great recap. I have to make it out to Mom 2.0 at some point… looks like you had a fantastic time!
Mom 2.0 looks like it was a great conference! I see you met my friend Amber Wright, she’s fabulous. I love that the summit was held in a wonderful destination.
Awe this is great. Congrats on your nomination. So glad you got to network and reflect on just how amazing life is. Love all the photos!
I am cracking up at twerking isn’t easy. Your pictures are beautiful, they remind me that I need a vacation. Like you my parenting style isn’t like my Mother’s at all.
I must add this to my list of conferences to attend. When I finally started injecting my real self and experiences in your my post… my audience reall u started to connect and engage. So always remember that someone is out there waiting for your story.
Congrats on being nominated. The pictures are great!
I truly enjoyed your session and was so happy to meet you! Congratulations on your nomination and your beautiful photography. Hope to see you again next year! 🙂
That looks amazing! Congratulations on speaking and the privilege of attending the summit.
