Summer session update☀️

I have just a few spots left in July for some fun summer sessions! The ideas are endless✨

Sprinklers & slip n slides, popsicles, riding bikes, flying kites, bubbles, ice cream, picking veggies/flowers from your garden, fishing, a walk through your neighborhood, or a bonfire with s’mores! Your kids don’t need big moments to remember a summer full of fun! Message me today to book!

Sweet Henry😍

At home newborn sessions are no pressure and perfect for bottling up all the newborn goodness. Barefoot and cozy at home, soaking up every last second, just as you should🫶🏻

Something that God has put on my heart in the last few months is to be interruptible. I can get so caught up in sticking to my own schedule and consumed by my never ending to-do list that I don’t allow myself to slow down to really see the needs of others. I’ve been trying to not be so rigid and intentionally create space in my schedule to allow interruptions, happily. I want to prioritize people over tasks and remain present for life to unfold rather than being solely focused on productivity. It makes me think of the story of Mary and Martha in the Bible. Jesus wasn’t calling Martha away from her tasks. He was calling her heart away from her bitterness about it. Calling her heart to treasure what’s right in front of her in the midst of chaos. He was calling Martha to a willingness to be interrupted. As I’ve been wrestling with what this looks like in my life I’ve realized that it spills into every aspect of my life, even my job. I can have my plan for a session, and I do. But the real magic requires me to hold my plans loosely and embrace the unexpected opportunities that unfold naturally. This photo was from my session last night. The kids were so excited to watch all the horses come by. Be interruptible and notice the beauty that follows. Ditch the shot list for what’s actually happening. It’s so special and now part of the memory when they look back on these family photos.

Lord help me to not get so absorbed in my busyness that I miss the blessings. To live with enough margin to receive the precious gifts he places right in front of me.

Loved spending the evening with this sweet couple and getting to know them before their big day! They were here all the way from Washington DC! I cannot wait for their September wedding at Potawatomi Zoo!🐘🦘🦁🐼🐨🦓
