My remote shutter officially died on this trip. Insert major sad face! I’m fairly certain it’s a random setting that I pushed accidentally, and yet…after HOURS of researching…can’t figure out. I had to go back to the self timer on the camera, and I have NO IDEA how I used to do that all the time!!! Needless to say, I was a hot sweaty mess by the time we left!
BTW, vintage Levi’s are the perfect jeans for crop tops! Even if you think you can’t score them thrifting. You CAN if you want to… 
I loooooove all the fluffy clouds! 
OMG, and that face?!!
LOVE!!! 
I told her NOT to throw sand…
And then…decided WTF, she was due for a bath anyways….
I mean, can you say no to that face??! 
On me…
Top- Free People “Sue’s Swinging Peplum” (Nordstrom Rack, sold out, similar here)
Jeans- Levi’s 501 (thrifted, and DIY cut similar here)
Shoes- Converse (thrifted)
On Maya…
Dress- Sweet Luka Mo (old, tank version here)
Rain Boots- (thrifted, but similar here)
Keeping it Real…
I promise she’s laying there laughing 😉
(all pictures taken with a self timer and tripod, except ones of Maya :))
I want to eat her up…
Yup, always a toy in hand… 
AND, always petting every dog we see and asking if she can give them a treat! 
AAAAAAND, doing a bootie shake for anyone who wants to stop and watch haha.
This is her “flying” 😉
On me…
They didn’t even PUT pictures of the back in the listing!! I mean WHAT??!! I was SO excited when I got it!! I knew it would be well made and funky, because of the designer, but it exceeded my expectations, and I LOVE IT!! Perfect for the weather transitions. It’s actually been super sunny and HOT here lately (70’s and even 80’s!!), but on Saturday we finally had an overcast off and on rainy day. So, THIS was perfect! 
Constantly with a toy in her hand… 🙂 
Awe….
LOVE this next one!!!
She found one of my old point shoots and asked to take some pictures 🙂 
I keep chopping her head off grrrrrr! I don’t mean to do the throw shots, but she comes running at me full force, and it just happens. BUT…I don’t have the camera set up high enough when it’s spontaneous. BOO. 😦
Seriously, the best way to get Maya into pictures, is for us to say we want pictures by ourselves. I’m not going to complain, because…I mean… 
She LOOOOOVES her daddy. And, I love that, too. 
One of my favorites!
The Huz caught this one 🙂 
I can’t even handle how cute she is, especially when she’s looking at the Huz!!!
All the who wears what aside. What I really wanted was this. I always want to capture “US!”
And….she’s done 😉
OMG, excuse my face haha. 
On me…
So, layering is always a good idea. And…so is wearing little shorts under dresses that can fly up 🙂
She totally tried to hide behind me 🙂
But, I was too quick for her haha. 
She was in HEAVEN with all these dandilions! And, since we were at a park, I let her go for it! No neighbors to offend here 🙂
Always on the run… 
We actually went to this spot as a location scouting adventure for a shoot I had last weekend. I ended up not going here, but I can’t WAIT to bring a client here (or come back ourselves) around sunset! I took a bunch of videos on Snapchat. I’m still not 100% sure what I’m doing, but if you want to follow us there, we are at lkahan-ditelle. 
She’s also in this phase where she’s constantly chewing gum. No big deal, but half the pictures I have of her now are of her mid chomp 😉
Um….and let’s be clear. Maya picked out her entire outfit. Because…peach, plus polka dot leggings and polka dot shoes…PERFECT! 😉 
And, she went on a blowing kisses frenzy, but it was really hard to capture! 
Then, we walked over to my parents house to give them something, and we came home with a flower… as we do.
Perfect excuse to cuddle to keep warm! 
haha. The look on her face. I swear it didn’t last long 😉
Right before we headed down to the beach I saw a picture on Value Village’s Instagram that showed this super cool clothing sculpture on a very familiar looking beach. Come to find out, it was Alki!! SO….of course we had to go check it out!
Maya just wanted to play hide and seek haha. 
She lost interest pretty quickly, and started chasing seagulls. ALMOST got this one!!
And then…a little dancing on a platform to keep warm!
Which…didn’t work so well.
NO…she didn’t jump from the platform!! She jumped from the steps 🙂 
I’ve been obsessing over crop flares lately, and decided to take matters into my own hands. I scored these boot cut jeans by my 
And…raw hems are all over the place now. SO easy to make your own, and WAY cheaper than paying to get original hems put on if you need them hemmed-SCORE!
This was one of those nights where it had been 80 degrees earlier (what the what, Seattle?!!). The Huz was out of town, and I kept asking Maya about going somewhere after dinner. She vetoed all my suggestions, so we just went out in front of our house to play for a bit. I swear, those end up being some of my favorite moments…
And, she was ON FIRE!!! haha 🙂 
It totally looks like she’s cheesy posing for this next one. BUT, she was playing hide and seek behind this street sign, and I just happened to capture it. Gah…I know I’m biased, but she is so freaking beautiful. Thankfully, just as much inside as out!
And then, this happened.
LOVE!!!!
And then the Huz Facetimed us 🙂
On me…
Um….not sure what is going on here haha.
And a little snazzy belt never hurts! 🙂 
Maya was seriously in rare form off to the side 🙂 
So, clearly, it was time to bring her in! 
There are no words for how glad I am that I have these images…
Who remembers doing this as a kid??!! 
I almost considered this a blooper, but her face….LOVE!!!
Oh, and matching!! 🙂 
She literally picked a bouquet of dandelions and threw them up in the air. I felt like I needed to apologize to my neighbors!! Whoops.
Ummmm, some dandelion seeds fell on my shoulder….?! 😉 
On me…
And, sometimes, we spin out of control haha 🙂
