From the mother of a trans daughter
I wanted to share a few things I’ve learned as the mother of a trans daughter, with the caveat that I’m no expert and am still learning something new everyday.
Junior Prom was a Drag
“Mom, can I go to the prom in drag?” I’m adding that question to my list of “Things I never thought I’d be asked as a parent”. Parenting is both the most challenging and the most rewarding job I could ever imagine. I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else at this time in my …

Quite Honestly | Wendy VonSosen
I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with technology. On the one hand, life has become much more efficient than it was back in the 80s and 90s of my growing up years. I mean c’mon, the fact that I can get a hold of my kids with a quick text …

Engagement Session | Wendy VonSosen | Utah Engagement Photographer
It’s true. She’s mine. She’s getting married. It’s still sinking in. I’ve become one of those annoying people who give unsolicited advice to young mothers, “Enjoy them because they grow up waaaay too fast.” I never thought I’d be that person. But I am. And it’s soooo true. They grow up way too fast! But …
