Playing in the Cherry Blossoms in Vintage Levi’s Jacket, White Denim, and Clogs (New Favorite)

One of the things I love the most about spring is all the cherry blossoms that are in bloom!

I had these grand plans of taking Maya to the UW Arboretum or the University of Washington campus, where the blooms are notoriously amazing!

I ended up getting to shoot a family at the UW Arboretum, but having the time for us to go…well, that wasn’t happening. SO…we went a few blocks from our house, and played amongst the many blooming trees there!

I honestly think this was the better idea. It was quick, fun, and not a big production. THAT is more Maya’s style, and honestly, I have to keep in mind what she wants most of the time.

AND, this is honestly a super long post, because I took SO many images that I love!! It all worked out for the best 🙂 This next shot is totally out of focus, but I wanted to get a picture of her FIRST MANICURE!!

She came with me and my mom for the first time and was the SWEETEST! Seriously!?? I wish the streets were lined with blooms like this ALL THE TIME! This next photo is totally out of focus, but it is SO HER!!! She always comes running so enthusiastically for a hug!! It’s getting harder and harder to document as she gets older, but….LOVE!! LOVE!!!
I almost put this as an “outtake”, because…clearly she’s going in for a big BITE! But…I love it. It’s SO HER! Love all these close ups that I got, but this next one…

I knew I was going out later this night, but really didn’t want to have to think about a separate outfit. So…I picked something that I could dress down for preschool drop off, work, pick up, and then play…then easily transition into a Mama’s night out!

Coated denim is one of my favorite things to wear in the fall/winter. Super fun and easy to clean-WIN! And it can easily be dressed up or down. Denim jackets are my favorite “make just about anything easy and casual” item of clothing.

I love the fun little slit in this tee. And the moto detailing on these pants!! It was hard to capture it on camera, but both by the pockets and at the bottom of the pants are super cool stitching. Then…had a little fun in photoshop with this one 🙂 It’s amazing what a difference a change in shoes can make!Add a leather jacket, and you’re ready to go out!I took these pictures on a bike trail that is right next to a pretty busy street. Yeah…I got a lot of looks. One biker even offered to stop and take some pics for me haha. No…I don’t feel like a complete nerd at all with my tripod and self timer-ugh ;}

And seriously, the weather in Seattle is so wonky. I took the shot above and the one below less than a minute apart. It went from totally overcast to SUNNY.After I picked Maya up from school, we walked over to my parents house. It was my mom’s birthday, so we wanted to bring her some treats (a few Pumpkin Balls that I posted on Wednesday!)My dad took these next two 🙂 On me…
