Spring casual… .OMG, edited to add…Fall casual??
The beauty of Seattle is that fall trends and spring trends sometimes can look the same! The trees are a lot greener here in these images than now in fall, but…whatever.
Can we just pretend?
I’m tired of only having special occasions on here! SOOO…this was back in spring when we took pics for fun.
Variations of this look on repeat!
🤷🏼♀️
Jeans + Fun tee + Cardigan for when the weather inevitably changes 87 times during the day.
👌🏻
This past Saturday, we went to the gym, went swimming, hit a local thrift store, and the Huz grilled dinner. 🙌🏻
All in all, my perfect Saturday 🙂 . AND…the same, spring, summer, fall, and winter!

Maya actually hopped behind the camera while it was on the tripod and snapped these first ones!
Aiming to post ALL THE POSTS while I have a break in my work schedule!
I had to lure her from behind the camera!!
THIS is why I do this blog!!!
To show her these images…
When all she wants to remember is me yelling at her, I need proof of the fact that most of the time, we had fun and loved on each other.
One of the MANY things I love, is that she still always reaches for my hand. I’m sure the years are limited for that happening, but I will treasure it for as long as I can!!
She also still happily sits on my lap 🙂
Pretty much and every day occurence. NOT on my lap on the sidewalk!! But us laughing together, and it’s my favorite part of my day.
On me…
This is the quickest, easiest hair do to do in a pinch. With the elaborate neckline of this dress, I didn’t really want to wear my hair down. However, I decided on this dress so last minute that I had to do a quick hair adjustment! I threw one of the flowers from the bouquet we brought, and called it good!
Seriously, one of my new favorite images I’ve taken of us!!!
Dying…
I LOVE the way it looks like she’s playing with the light in these next ones!
And then looking up at it??? All coincidence haha, but I love it!
I didn’t bring my real camera with me to the event, so the pics I took aren’t the greatest with my phone.
Here’s our little table spread and food. Yes, that’s for two of us hahaha.
They had a photo booth that did GIFS! SO FUN!
So cute though, right?
Oh, and while I have the tripod set up….can you take a few of me, since the remote still isn’t working?
My face is like “You’re ok still snapping, right??”
We started off the night going to the 
Next, we went to the 
On me…
OBSESSED with the back of the dress!!
What I wasn’t expecting….how revealing it would be on the side-WHOOPS!!
THANK GOD there were to wardrobe malfunctions!!
LOVE!
Her Fingerling that she recently thrifted for $2, that she couldn’t NOT have with her… Remember when these were ALL THE RAGE and you couldn’t buy one for Christmas except on ebay for $100?!! Yeah, she didn’t get one that year, and has wanted one ever since…
Funny thing…My remote broke again, so we did these all with a 10 second timer. SO…not as
Yup, almost a wardrobe malfunction, and we weren’t even doing anything!!
If there is a cat or dog near…Maya will not pay any attention to me.
I can only hope that she will come to more events with me, because we had the best time! And…it carried through the entire day!
Here are the floral crowns we made, And by we….I mean, I made them, while Maya walked around and schmoozed with the guests. But….let’s be honest. That was fine by me. We were both in our happy place!
I borrowed this image from 
And this next one from 
Of course this stuffy is in most of our shots, and you know what? Don’t care!
CRAB!
So, I had this idea in my head for a shot, but…it ended up being harder than I thought to capture haha.
Here’s me attempting to show Maya what I wanted her to do…
In the end…here’s a composite shot of three different shots. The best part about this, was the fact that Maya totally got into it. She even told me exactly where she wanted everything to be in this final edited shot 🙂 .
Loooooove all these next ones!!!!
Me telling her to NOT get any closer. Of course she wanted to go pet it!
Nailed it!! ha 🙂
I hadn’t taken pictures for the first 4 days of our vacation. I was so OVER my camera with my workload leading up to our vacation that I needed a break. But…I knew I’d regret not taking pictures, so I busted out the tripod outside of our room.
Not going to be able to do this much longer!!
Meanwhile…people coming down our walkway always….
But…the timer keeps going, so….carry on!!
Maya-
Mom…spread your arms out wide like you’re flying…
I KNEW what she meant, but…I mean. I had to.
Me once again not realizing where I need to be and dancing out of the frame…
This face…
As the sun went down, I switched angles…
Maya is actually wearing boys jeans. I am not afraid to buy from the boys section when thrifting! Roll them up, and they are super cute and comfy boyfriend jeans!
LOOOOOVE this next one!
A glimpse into the future tween and teen years…
BUT THEN…
My same goofy girl that just wants to run in for a hug!
and I want to eat her up.
So….I took a picture of Maya and then my camera went wonky. It would take a picture, but wouldn’t show me what it took.
And failing 🙂
She loooooves to play with my phone.
It’s actually fun for me to go back and look at all the pictures and videos she’s taken on my phone! I complain about it and tell her NOT to…but…I secretly like it later.
The trigger on the top of my camera fell off, so she was like “Uh oh…no more pictures!”
It was SO windy when we got to the beach, and I was worried we wouldn’t be able to get any shots! I actually LOVE how the wind made our hair crazy! Definitely good for a laugh!
I jumped in for a few 🙂
Looooove.
One of my favs!
Almost blew her over!
Because it was so windy, I couldn’t hear when the shutter would go off. SO…there’s a lot of me checking the remote.
