{Simplicity} Week 4

When winter comes, one of the things that I look least forward to is how dark it is when I'm heading home. This week, I found a simple moment of happiness seeing this on the way home. It's not even the end of January and it's actually still light out. Nice blue skies with bursting red of the clouds lit by the setting sun, all the while, Journey's on the radio serenading the end of the day... Perfect.

Brotherly love

I had a great session with my cousin-in-law's family. It was my first time meeting the younger one and it had been a while since I saw the older. These two played so well together already! And yes, I got to pinch to chubby cheeks.

Sometimes, a little milk and cookies will make all those tantrums just go away.

{Simplicity} Week 2

*whew* what a week.. Barely made it to this posting before the end of the week. This week is all about looking through the child's eyes.




My son never ceases to surprise my hubby and I at how sharp his eyes are and what things catch his attention. In a recent walk in a community farm park, my son kept asking me what those "blue things" are. I must've stared at the ground for a few minutes trying to figure out what he was looking at and came upon this little gem. It was simply a set of glass embedded in a piece of cement. The colors are so brilliant and beautiful. I've got to get on his height more often and see things from his perspective more. Everything seems so "new". :)

{Simplicity} Week 1

Happy New Year, everyone! It's pretty insane how quickly time flies. Since my last post, I've had my 3rd baby. So now I'm the mom to 3 kids, 3 and under. Life gets to be a bit crazy having to juggle a full time job, a part-time job, some additional side projects, while doing all the mom things with 3 little kids. With so many things going on, sometimes it feels like I miss the simplest pleasures in life. Everything becomes a checkbox in a to-do list that seems ever growing. So for the new year, I've decided to start this 52 week project, {Simplicity}, to take a photo each week to remind me of the simplest things that I enjoy in life. And so, here's week 1...

Water. It's the first thing in the morning that quenches my thirst. Standing in that hot shower at the end of the day is the most amazing thing in the world to tune out everything and just listen to the water hitting the shower floor and feeling the stress in your body just melt away.

Growing family

This family is about to add a new little one to the mix. I went to the session with mainly maternity in mind, but their little boy stole my heart. He was such a cute, curious, happy boy! The siblings will be about 18 months apart, just like my own little ones. :)

Little ballerina

Miss Ava was a wide eyed little 7 week old. She gave me some beautiful poses without complaint. Little Ava's mom had made the most adorable tutu that we just had to have Ava wear it and show it off. She'll make a beautiful little ballerina some day!
