March is reading month at school and every Wednesday is a technology blackout day. That means no tv, no ipads, no technology of any kind. It has become my favorite day of the week. Seriously

My girls are 6 years old now & pretty self-sufficient. They would be perfectly happy to just be outside, color some new pictures, or play with any of their (18) baby dolls. Instead, we have been coming up with new ideas together for ways to spend our afternoons. It has been so refreshing! Even though it’s the last Wednesday of the month I’m excited to continue our no technology tradition.

Today we went hiking at Woodsong County Park, I wanted to see how things were looking since the new kayak launch is being installed. I love shooting sessions here and wanted to make sure the trails weren’t too torn up after the construction, all while adventuring with my babes. I got to scout the area while just quietly observing my girls, letting them explore whatever captured their attention. I love seeing how brave they are becoming and the dynamics of their twin relationship as they climb and race from one trail to the next. It gives me an opportunity to look deeper into my surroundings and take notice of the little things. Like the concentration on a furrowed brow or the way their blonde hair flies in the wind.

This casual, carefree documentary style approach is a session idea I want to offer you. Adventure Sessions. You pick the location, make it meaningful to you and I’ll follow along with my camera. No perfectly coordinating outfits, no looking and cheesing for the camera. Just enjoying each others company and appreciating the unique personalities of your growing children. Time is flying by, let’s document it so you can remember it forever.
