childhood unplugged: september
let’s be real. in my busiest seasons, my family suffers a bit. i’m not as available, i’m gone when other families are out doing things, i’m not cooking (or cleaning). and most days, the last thing i want to do is pull out my camera to take pictures of them. one of the things i realized, though, is that neglecting to document them as much as i do my clients leaves a hole…a space where my heart isn’t being stretched in new ways and where my eyes aren’t being challenged to see beyond the surface. so when i do finally pick up my camera and choose them…my heart and mind explode with creativity and i don’t ever want to stop. these images may not be technically (or in any other way) perfect, but they are what matter because they show me my kids as they are. right now. i see their unique personalities and the way they approach the world, i see the tangled hair and the layer of dirt and sweat that is ever present in these summer months, i see the laughter and the (inevitable) tears which will (inevitably) once again turn to laughs, i see their little hearts beating through their chests, full of life and struggle and joy. this is the stuff for me. right here, right now.

It must be time for me to print some of these and refill my picture frames. These are perfect pictures of my perfect great littles. Thanks for sharing. They’re beautiful!! Love the pictures of the garden and vines and wagon in the back drops. And, of course, Simon’s ducky lips in the upward ball picture. Love them. And you and Cliff. ❤️
Awesome pictures as always! To be honest, the third and second last picture made me feel bad for Simon.
The one of Simon’s hair flipping. awesome!

Your kids are AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL (and so are you!). I love the second last picture best. Oh my heart…
