Words taken from Instagram post on that day.
Maya has been asking to wear off the shoulder tops, and I said…NO!
I’m so not ready for that!! I did tell her that she could pick what we wore, so I guess I have to.
BUT, THEN…I remembered that we had this jumpsuit, that I thrifted for her a few years ago, but…still have. OMG, yay me for hoarding!!! And, it’s not so bad….?? I’m SO not looking forward to the battle of what’s appropriate and what’s not!!! HELP ME!
How cute are these clogs?!!!
See! She looks like a teenager here….SOOOOO not ready!!
On me…
Jumpsuit- Clu (ebay)
Clogs- Sven “Peep Toe” (gifted)
On Maya…
Jumpsuit- Target (thrifted)
Clogs- Sven “Mary Jane (gifted)
Keeping it Real…
Sometimes she catches me off guard with the jumps…
And down we go! haha. Nobody was injured in the making of this post 😉
(all pictures taken with a shutter release and tripod, except ones of Maya :))
I am SO obsessed with this vintage bag I scored while I was on a girls trip in Idaho!! It’s in perfect condition and the bakelite handles and trim are SO amazing!!
I loooooove the color of these clogs! At first I thought they were pink, but they are the prettiest blush nude that will go with EVERYTHING this summer!
I can’t handle these next ones…LOVE HER!! AND…The rainbow sunflare I got in these next ones makes me so happy!
She kept tickling me with this, and then…I realized she was really trying to get yellow dust all over my face. See outtakes 🙂
Is this thing working??
This is where I realized she was trying to dust me with yellow powder…
And yes…bikers and walkers were going past us constantly. No shame at this point!
I’m all about tying tops with high waisted jeans vs tucking in. Who wants the added bulk??
On the way home, we just stopped back off at the same place.
Dying over Maya’s little shirt dress!! Scored it off eBay from one of my fav sellers in a lot of 4-5 pieces. She only took pictures of everything folded, so I thought it was a denim shirt. SO excited when I pulled it out! Basically it ended up being $3 or $4!!
I wanted to try and get some pics like 
She kept pinching my cheeks!
And… Not wanting me to kiss her. HA! That’s not happening!
I do believe the days for piggy back rides are limited. She keeps flinging herself back and with
What to say about this sweet nugget…
And…twinning is always winning!
Love these next few!!!
My new favorite of the three of us!!
And…to my amazing mom and friend…
I can’t even…
Again….NEW FAVORITE!
Funny story. I cropped myself out of this shot because I was frantically running towards the camera on the tripod that was going CRAZY taking pics! Maya’s face though….WORTH IT!
All the heart eyes…
Pretty much the best reality of our group shot attempts…
But then we got this!!
And this, so…I’ll take it all!
And then…letting her do what she loves to do.
Hahaha. Yes, by butt as a try to stop the shutter AGAIN, and Maya picking her nose…as she does ALL THE TIME.
Licking me….as she does ALL THE TIME 😉
Me trying to wrestle her to NOT lick me…
Maya giving herself a hickey that you can STILL see 3 days later…
I love that I caught the remote being thrown in mid air. I’d had it with it’s craziness!
Maya probably explaining to me how I can fix it 🙂
These 
I can’t even handle it sometimes when I look back on the images I capture! Like…I KNOW we were dancing around and having fun, but it still surprises me when I capture these moments…
LOOOOOOVE this next shot!! Total happy accident!
And this one? Makes me so happy too!
So, when we take these images, we usually spend about 10-15 minutes shooting pics of “us”. This shoot was actually 20 minutes because I had some specific shots I wanted to get. And to be clear…she’s running around the park the entire time I’m trying to set up shots, and then I have to wrangle her back for a few here and there!
Now…If I had cropped in, you would have thought I told her to pose, which she NAILED haha. But, nope. Just her waiting for the dog to bring back the frisbee! People always comment about her posing and being great in front of the camera, but she does NOT like when I want her to actually pose or do something. I have to just let her play, and then snap her genuine moments…
I broke out my 
She will literally dance anywhere! This was in the follow through from throwing the frisbee!
Oh, and the light setting….at 4:30! WAH!!! But…so pretty!
The remote got stuck and just kept taking shots! Maya thought it was hilarious! I didn’t reeeeally want 100 shots in a row! 😉
Typical…Yes, there are people walking behind us if you look close.
She really wanted me to swing her around, but our hands were super slippery for some reason. She literally almost flew out of my hands!!
Oh, and the box that it comes in you will want to steal for yourself!
And then I had to get some pics with Maya…
LOVE HER!!!
I’ve been keeping these in my purse in a little baggie, and it’s been super helpful to just give her a square here and there!
Clearly, she loved these!!
Thank you SO much 
The ruffles on Maya’s suit? DYING!!
I can’t even handle this next one…
THAT BUTT!!
