Finding time to slow down and smell the roses seems nearly impossible these days. However, I was reminded just how important it truly is. Our little family had a rough year. I found it difficult to explain these life changing occurrences to my young children. I mean, explaining cancer to a four year old without completely terrifying them can be a challenge. All the while, we overcame several passing of close family and big life changes. Such a whirlwind for my boys so young.
Run Wild My Child- Lifestyle Photography
I was reminded to let them be little. The time is now to capture this moment and create a lifestyle photography session for us. Let them get dirty and make a small mess. Enjoy this moment, for it will never be again. Now, I find myself taking a break to stop and enjoy them in this moment. There sweet sounds of laughter that will one day become deep bellowing voices demanding tacos after school. All the little hand prints on the sliding glass door.
Run wild my child and embrace this day. I think we forget how easily it is to loose that innocent sense of adventure. Personally, I think the day we truly grow up, is the day Home Depot sounds exciting. As a kid I dreaded that store. Now, I love to scour the isles for cabinet hardware and paint chips. Alas, I have gown.
So here is a tribute to my two wildings. A lifestyle photography series all about you. My sweet, loud and ever growing boys who will always walk with a piece of my heart with them. Dive into your inner hippie and run nakey in the woods. Collect sticks and bugs. Bring me gifts made of mud and rock. For one day, you will grow and this day is yours.
We love you Grandma K and Grandma B. See you on the other side. xoxo
