I'm constantly amazed by how fast months go by. Blogging has definitely taken a back burner in the last couple of months, but I'm excited to share some gorgeous sessions and fabulous people that I've had the privilege of photographing in the past weeks! Engagements, weddings, expectant mamas, and families have given quite a bit of variety to my work, and I've loved the challenge of bouncing back and forth between different types of sessions. :)

During the past several weeks one thing that has occupied many of my thoughts and many conversations with Aaron has been the concept of being intentional. Being intentional with relationships, with work, and with purposeful down time is challenging for me, because it's easy to get distracted and focus on the non-essentials rather than things that have true value. Yes, I'm busy (who isn't?), but that should never bump priorities into secondary positions, or give fluff a value it doesn't have. 

I look forward to sharing more thoughts on this subject, as well as practical ways these thoughts end up working out in my little family! For now, though, here's to fall weather, giant cups of tea, pumpkin everything, and making the most of the time I'm given! :) image by Leah Ashworth
