I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very exciting happens, but those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”

-L.M. Montgomery

This family was referred to me by a friend and I am so incredibly grateful that I was able to meet them and spend some time with them! Mom was only going to book a milestone session for her littlest at first, but then ended up booking a full family session and I am so glad she did, because we would have missed out on all these beautiful moments that are now beautiful memories for them. We had so much fun playing together in some gorgeous light. The entire family was so easy going and the love between them was so easy to observe. My heart was so full by the time we were done and I became a better mother to my own children as I learned from them.

Having young kids is hard work. I know that from personal experience! At the same time, those kids that are up during the night, that throw food on the floor, and get mad because they want to dress themselves without any help, are also the same kids that bring so much joy as they giggle while you dip them down, play with your hair as you nurse them, or bring home special treasure that they made just for you at school. They are your life, your heart outside of your body, and your purpose. So, in those hard and exhausting day, keep going. You’ve got this. Do your best and those kids will forgive your shortcomings. I promise.
