March Recap
How is it already April?! I am sooooo looking forward to summer. I’m definitely a summer girl. The hotter the better. My most favorite day is when you walk outside and it’s so humid that you cant breathe! Ahhhhh, it’ll happen so soon! I cant wait to start camping again. That’s my joy!
We’ve been plugging along over here. Our weeks are pretty packed these days. Monday’s and Wednesday’s are our full days at home, then on Tuesday’s and Friday’s we are at Under His Wings, a nonprofit I volunteer for, and on Thursday’s we watch my niece, Kenzie. Zach has been working a lot. His outage is every February, but this year it got extended until the end of April. Every five days he gets one day off and we are soooooo over it! We miss that guy! Add into that school, housework, and other responsibilities and let me just tell you, I sleep HARD at night… when Ella and Mabel let me haha!
Ella is walking now. It happened so fast. She will turn one next week, which blows my mind. Mabel is… two, and two is hard for me. She’s fiercely independent, but also absolutely hilarious. She frustrates me, then gets me laughing almost instantly after. Declan has gotten really into science lately. He’s constantly pulling out magnets and doing little experiments with his school DVD. Harper turned 8 on March 11th. I cant believe it. She loves to bake and help in the kitchen. I honestly wouldn’t be able to function without her. She is Ella’s favorite person and sometimes the only one who can make her happy.
I have a few shoots coming up this month and I’m excited to get back to work after a couple of months off. I cant wait for sunset sessions again! If you’re wanting to get on my books I’d suggest doing it sooner rather than later!
I am doing something I don’t normally do, and this year I have decided to offer Motherhood Mini sessions. I’m doing them on April 17th at my absolute favorite location in Ottawa. They are going to be 20 minute sessions, $75, and I’m going to promise 5 pictures, but you may get lucky and get a few more!
I still have a few sessions left of the Day In Your Life at the introductory rate, and I have all the births slots to book, which I am SO DANG EAGER to fill! I cant wait to shoot another birth. It’s my favorite thing. If that’s you, contact me and we can chat! And don’t forget, if you recommend a birth client to me, let me know so I can hook you up with a discounted session of your choice!
Just to remind you, Day In Your Life sessions are all documentary. They aren’t posed or matchy, they are your MEMORIES! A literal Day In Your Life. Documenting your family right now, as they are! It’s the way I document my family. I think it’s so important. Your ordinary, amazing everyday. These sessions are held either in your home, or doing an activity that’s important to you. Maybe visiting grandma’s house, or baking cookies, or your bedtime routine, or even just hanging around the house. I love these sessions so much and I’m offering them at a discounted, portfolio building rate for this whole year. I accept payment plans, too! I want to make this as doable for you as possible because I think documenting this time in your home is that important!
March was rough for my project, but I did it! I’m proud of myself for sticking to it and I’m learning so much by picking up my camera every single day. I’m almost at 100 days now! Thank you for supporting me and following along on my journey!
