“ Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”

— Mary Oliver

These are the days of spontaneous hugs and laughter and dance parties⠀
of owies and tears and meltdowns over spoon choice and the wrong kind of fruit snack.⠀
⠀
These are the days of bedhead and snuggles and cartoons and waiting for the garbage truck⠀
of whining and fake crying and falling to the ground in protest over not getting to hold the banana. ⠀
⠀
These are the days of cute little Twinkle...star ramblings from the backseat⠀
Of Mama cows! Dada moo! Mama horse! Dada neigh!⠀
of More! More!⠀
of night night Wrigley, I uv you. ⠀
⠀
I think Paul Simon said it best, ‘these are the days of miracle and wonder’.

Hugga mugga 🥰⠀

Any Daniel Tiger fans out there? He's definitely a favorite in our house. These little Eskimo kisses or "hugga mugga"s are the best. ⠀
⠀
I've got so many cute family sessions to share with you guys.

I’m so proud of this guy. ⠀

He completed his 5th marathon in his fastest time yet. The way he puts in his training hours day after day and works hard to achieve his goals, it’s so inspiring. I feel like marathon runners have something special, like proof that they can do hard things, physically and in life and survive. It almost makes me want to run one. 💪🏼 ⠀
⠀
*shoutout to @taylogram ! So fun to see you killing it on the course!

“We must have the courage to let ourselves down into the depths that gratitude brings.”⠀
-heard in an interview with Mary Oliver in the On Being podcast

I’m trying to take out my big camera more around the house and on our family outings. I am so passionate about documenting other families, the little and big moments and interactions that matter. I strive to make images that make people feel the love and beauty in their family today and even more when they look at them 25 years from now and remember that time and season. I get emotional about it when I really think about the power of a photograph. Needless to say, I need to remind myself to capture those same moments in my own family and also to have professional photos done so I can be in some😂

These dear friends of mine are getting so close to meeting their sweet Hazel girl any day now, but very possibly today! I LOVED how this session turned out. So dreamy and beautiful. I mean, Christopher was serenading his ladies with some Lumineers tunes, does it get any better?
