Bailey has been through a lot in the last several years because of a car accident that she was in with her mom. She’s suffered a lot because of that accident but she’s overcome so much as well. She is stronger because of it and is becoming an amazing person. I wanted these pictures to show her how amazing and beautiful and fun she is. We all need someone on the outside to show us that for ourselves sometimes. I hope that these photos do that for her.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It’s raining like crazy here right now! 🌧 Shocker right?! 😆 It makes for a good editing day and I love listening to the rain while I’m all cozy in my house. I’m just praying that it lets up by tomorrow afternoon for all the mini sessions I have scheduled! 🙏🏻

How is it the middle of October already?! I feel like I’m going to blink and it’ll be New Years! But I sure do love this time of year. Everybody starts to get so busy but it’s always a fun and exciting busy! I love having themed parties to go to, school field trips to pumpkin patches, comforting and yummy food, warm smells, lots of shopping, and lots of time with friends and family. .
What’s your favorite thing about this time of year?

I took a mental health break for myself yesterday. ▪️
When I left the house I figured I would just go run a few errands (things easier to do with out children in tow) and end up at the library to get some work done for an hour or two. ▪️
Instead I ended up in downtown Olympia at a gift shop I’ve been wanting to check out for a while. I let myself slowly wander and look at all the things. I opened some of the books, I tried on some of the beautiful handmade jewelry, I smelled many yummy candles. I wasn’t hurried or rushed or worried about my kids touching something they shouldn’t. I even bought myself a little gift. Then I wandered down a few blocks and came to the water. So I took a little/long stroll down the boardwalk. Stopped and took pictures as I pleased. And I ended up at the farmers market. I’m a sucker for the farmers market. So many beautiful colors, foods, handmade goods, flowers etc. ▪️
I didn’t know how much I needed those few hours to myself. To do something at my own pace, to walk in the peaceful crisp air, to take in the beauty that surrounds me. It was so refreshing and good for my soul.
▪️
Sometimes as moms we feel guilty when we take time to take care of ourselves. 🙋🏼‍♀️ I had a to do list a mile long and lots of editing to get through. But yesterday I felt no guilt. I was so grateful for that time to myself because I then went home to kids who were so excited to see me and I was so excited to see them. I felt more inspired and motivated for my work, and I was a better mom, am a better mom, because I took care of myself just a little bit yesterday.
▪️
What have you done recently to take care of yourself?

Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel like you need to scream? Not at anyone or for any particular reason. Just because it’d make you feel better? .
No? Me neither. 😜🤪

Ever since they were babies people would always tell me that they had always wanted twins. It was such a great reminder to me of how lucky I am that I was blessed with these sweet twins. I always wanted twins also, and it took a lot to get these two here, but it I wouldn't trade it for the world. It was worth every doctor's appointment, every pill, every shot, every penny, every tear, every heartache.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They bring joy and light into my life every single day. It is amazing to see their bond and friendship. They are certainly their own person, but they are also so complimentary of each other. They grow together and on their own all the time. I'm grateful they have one another to rely on and I can't wait to watch their relationship strengthen as they get older. Although, I'd be ok if they stayed little forever too. .

I wish I had a behind the scenes photo of me getting this shot! That little piece of shore that the Swiss family is sitting on was the only land that wasn't covered in water from the high tide! We had to jump across water to get to it even. But we do what we gotta do to get the shot! I was almost knee deep in the water for this one and so so happy that we got it! .

The comfort of mama’s arms. There’s nothing quite like it. ♥️
Even in my 30s I crave hugs from my mom. ☺️
🤗
I couldn’t decide if I liked this image better in B&W or Color. 🤷🏼‍♀️ What’s your preference?

I’ve been taking pictures of Bailey and her family since I was in high school. And I babysat Bailey and her younger brother for a few years before that even. Let’s not talk about how long ago that was. Like I said, we’re pretty much family.
.
Bailey is an incredibly smart, witty, fun and bubbly girl with lots of sass! I can say that because I’ve got sass too. Our moms gave it to us. She teaches 6th grade and is an awesome teacher. Her students love her and I know they have a good time with her. .

This sweet girl Hazel is in my Sunday school class at church and when she saw me get out of the car for our photo session she was so excited and enthusiastic to see that I was the one taking their photos. And she's like that every single time she sees me. It's my favorite. She's a sweet heart with a little sass in her. When I got her on her own I didn't even have to tell her what to do. She had all her own pose ideas and I just went with it. She had us all rolling.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Gaufin family was one of the most fun families to photograph ever! I made a quick stop on my Utah road trip adventure to take their multi-family pictures during their epic family reunion. One of the Gaufin daughters is one of my very best friends from Maryland and it was so lucky that we were both in Utah at the same time this summer! She is an amazing person and the funnest (yes funnest) person to hang out with. And now I can see where she gets it from. Her whole family is the funnest! It was such an honor to meet and hang out with the rest of her family. They were all such a blast and you can tell from the photos that we had a pretty great time taking pictures. I feel like they're all my friends now, even though they don't know it. Haha

When I asked Meggin if she had any location ideas for their family photos, Tolmie State Park was her first choice! They live close to the park like I do and spend a lot of time down there so it was a no brainer. It's so fun to find a place that holds a special place in your heart where you can take pictures to always remember.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you could take your family photos in a place that's close to your heart, where would that be? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More from this session on the blog today!
