That’s sunlight over the hill. The last of fall colors. The St. John’s Bridge in the background. His little Nikes and pea coat. That grin peeking out behind his collar. 💕

It’s such a special thing to watch friends love on our baby girl. 💕

I want every parent to have a picture like this with their child. I just love it so much🤗

This guy. He’s a fixer. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed with mom-hood and working from home and wanting to work out but never finding the time between my to-do list and groceries and making dinner etc. ⠀
⠀
This weekend he signed us up for a family membership at the YMCA down the street knowing they have childcare and I could take a yoga, barre or Pilates class without it competing with my to-do list during Ellie’s nap-time. He uploaded all my info onto the app, and found all the classes I’d be into that worked with Ellie’s nap schedule and even told me the quickest way to drive there and back. Honestly, I was a little annoyed at how pushy he was with it all, but I know he just wants to help lighten my load and help me get some good endorphins into my day and it’s all from a place of love. ⠀
⠀
And you know what, this morning I got out the door, dropped Ellie in the childcare room and went on to work my booty off in Pilates for an hour and it was pretty wonderful and so nice to have some “me” time. And I’m thinking, why didn’t I think of this sooner?⠀
⠀
I’m grateful for a partner that helps me game plan how to make my goals (no matter how small) a reality. ⠀
⠀

There’s a lot of love in this family. ⠀
⠀
I love when families have me take photographs at a special place that they want to remember. ⠀
⠀
This family was about to move out of their house, the only home all these beautiful little girls have called home, so many memories and favorite spots. They wanted photos to remember some of these things, like riding scooters up and down the driveway, playing basketball in the backyard, hanging from the hoop😬 and playing at the park just behind the house. A great way to remember these sweet early childhood days😊
