| This past week marked a new high for me photography-wise. I shot four days worth of back-to-back amazing events and sessions and I am still processing (and recovering from!) it all. Details and photos to of course come soon! But in the meantime, I wanted to post on a sweet morning I shared with my favorite little guy a few weeks ago. I feel very lucky that I have always been able to spend two days a week at home with him. And although sometimes we meet up with friends to play, or take classes, or visit family, we often spend those days alone, heading out on little adventures with no schedule but our own. I am oh-so aware that in just a few months my baby will be starting preschool and that the beginning of this exciting new journey for him will also mark the end of our uninterrupted and schedule-free time together, and wow, I have to say- the thought of that makes my heart break just a bit. Learning to let go will undoubtedly be a post for another time in the not-so-far-off future… But for now I’ll keep looking for ways for us to get lost in our days, wandering and unaware of the time, but fully aware of our surroundings and all that it has to offer us. An early Wednesday morning trip to the lakefront was how we spent this particular day. Early enough that not many people are out and we feel as though we have the whole skyline to ourselves. We search for bugs and we dangle our feet. We walk and talk about what might be out swimming in that great big lake. And at times we just sit, watch and listen to the waves while I reflect on how unbelievably thankful I am for this precious time. I’ve said it before, but this is the sort of day that I know is how I will best remember his early childhood… |
A) This one made me tear up a bit and B) Does Connor ever not dress like a little model?! I think he could work for JCrew! 😉 Great photos!
Very neat moments that you captured here! He’ll always be your lil’ boy! 🙂
