WHOOPS. Found another one that I’m posting out of order. This one was in my drafts, so I have NO idea why I never just hit “Publish”…sigh. Life.
I think it can be super hard to stay fashionable, but also stay comfy and warm. I spend SO much of my time outside with Maya or with clients, and I need to be comfortable, warm…yet…let’s be honest. I still want to look cute!
I scored these Sorel boots at Value Village for $28, and they were NWT! Regularly $275!
I’ve worn them SO many times already! To school pick up/staying for hours…to a shoot! Although, the heel height isn’t ideal for running around for an hour…, and even on a date night!
Ok, both our faces…HAHA!
If someone has hints on how to jump and not look like…this.
Let me know 🙂
But…the aftermath of a “shot” has always been my goal with clients, and this…
Soooo worth the awkward jump faces!
Oh, and then… #NAILEDIT!
I will never be as cool as her…
THIS is who I know and love!!!
This is who I take pictures of…
Thankfully I can get both when I’m in the shot with her!
Even more of a reason that I miss taking pics of us.
Oooooh!
I’ve been taking sunset silhouette shots at work, and they’ve been something that I LOVE to take! We actually tried taking this before, but I lost the remote in the dark ha! Ok, I can laugh about it now… Making sunset can be tricky. It’s either past Maya’s bedtime, during bedtime ritual, during dinner, during making of dinner, or…during my crazy busy time.
So… I capture my amazing families at the golden hour, but I can’t seem to capture US lately!
To be honest…I’m BURNT OUT when I actually have time to shoot us in between the chaos…
On me…
Cashmere sweaters are a staple for me, because they are SOOOOO comfy!
Oh, and if you think cashmere is out of your price range, think again! It’s one of my most favorite things to thrift! I scored this GORGEOUS $200+ sweater on eBay for less than $20!
Funny story. I shot the above shots as well as the “night” version in SIX MINUTES! hahaha. Night version coming later!
Wait for it…
I can’t even…LOVE HER!!
She got leaves in her mouth and kept spitting. This miiiiiiight be what got those amazing smiles and laughs in the main post 😉
Hilarious in all it’s blurriness….
Oh, Maya….you know the smile that’s next is not just me!
I can’t even…
This is Maya’s posing face…
I meant to get some sun flare, and got a rainbow flare instead-WIN!!!
Oh, and waterproof, you say? Let me test them out!!
Yup….so her.
I told Maya we could do whatever she wanted for these next shots. I’ll reveal what she really had us doing in the “keeping it real”… :}
In her words when I asked what we should do…
Hahaha. Charlie standing on his tippy toes! Like he needs to…
I can’t even….
LOVE this shot of them!!!
At this point, I didn’t want to mess with the tripod again, so my mom got these next two of me and Maya 🙂
hahaha 🙂
GAH!!! She looooves her daddy!
This just makes me happy on so many levels. This image captures so much about them, and I love it!
As we were heading to the car, I realized I didn’t have any with my parents!!Mom got this…
Dad got this….
Oh, and I never got any of just me, so…I got these when I came home.
Oh, and if you’ve followed along…I’m a total sucker for an open back top! This bralette is the best for coverage, and on Amazon for CHEAP! Although, it’s really only good for those of us that don’t have “support issues”. 😉
Oh, and…yes, we are totally matching, and I LOVE IT!
What I use to set my focus on, because she never stands still like this!!
And… Three cheers for mother in laws that live in Oklahoma and send us amazing cowboy boots!!
Omg, that face!!
I was trying to set up for the boot shot ( you can see the focus stand in the background), and Maya kept sticking her head right in front of the lens haha. I Photo Shopped the stand out of the shot in the main post.
