There’s a version of life that gets shared most often.
We call it the highlight reel in the Ledet house.

It’s the finished work. The polished outcome.
The beautiful moments, the picture of life most people share with the world.

And then there’s everything else.

The messy. The ugly. The day-to-day moments that feel mundane or even boring. The ones we don’t think are worth sharing. And yet, those unglamorous moments are what life is really made of — the raw emotions, the organic laughter, the honest conversations, and a life that is candid and unposed.

Unposed was created for, and from, the moments in between.

As a photographer, I spend my days capturing carefully framed images. Moments that are beautiful, intentional, and meaningful. Big moments — wedding days, newborn snuggles, new chapters of life beginning.

But the truth is, the most honest parts of life usually happen outside the frame.
Before the camera comes out.
After the work is done.
In the quiet pauses no one sees.

These are the moments, camera or no camera, I want to live in.

The older I get, the more unposed I want to become in my own life. I find myself lingering longer during newborn sessions, sitting with moms and dads as we talk about the hard parts of the newborn stage — the sleepless nights, the exhaustion, the deliveries that didn’t go as planned.

Unposed is about those moments.

Unposed is meeting up with a bride and talking through the stress of wedding planning. Listening as she shares the heartbreak of a family member who won’t be there physically, and figuring out how to honor them on her wedding day. Or laughing about the drama surrounding her wedding dress and everything it took to finally get it.

These are the stories we think no one wants to hear — because they feel too personal. Because we assume we’re alone. Because they won’t go viral on TikTok or fit neatly into a curated feed.

So what does all of this mean for me — here, in 2026?

If you’re old enough to remember the early 2000s, when the internet was new, Facebook was still just for college students, and social media felt more like blogging and storytelling than chasing viral moments — you probably get it.

And if you don’t remember… I kind of miss it.

Fun fact: as I was writing this, my son asked what I was doing… and then asked, “What’s a blog?”

Back then, we sat down after school and poured our hearts out online — even if it was silly high school drama. We shared the messy, mundane parts of life, and we connected through them. We found people who were struggling, yearning, or just looking for common ground.

We shared the unposed — and we thrived in it.

Enter 2026.
Enter this blog.

This is the heart behind Unposed.
I want to connect with:

• small business owners
• mom bosses
• creatives who are thriving (and those who aren’t)
• families who are struggling
• moms who have experienced loss
• photographers
• parents entering the teenage years
• people who are grieving
• women navigating mental health

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, or what stage of life you’re in. And if you don’t connect with me personally, I hope you still find connection in this space.

What does that look like?
Sometimes it will look like a blog, other times a short on YouTube or maybe even a vlog from time to time.

But most importantly, this space is for documenting, not posing.
For noticing, not rushing.
For life, work, and everything in between.

Welcome to Unposed.
