Will my kids remember this as the summer they were

Will my kids remember this as the summer they were bored? Or as the best summer ever because it was the most relaxed ever?
🎨
I hear “mama, what can I doooo???” a bazillion times a day (or so it feels). Anyone else?? We’re raising another generation that’s functioning non-stop. I hope they’ll appreciate their summer of being bored when they reflect back it as teens or adults... I’m tired of hearing that phrase, but I really believe this summer is so good for them.

Welcoming your third child in a pandemic, with day

Welcoming your third child in a pandemic, with daycare closed and two older kids home, while juggling two jobs and a creative side biz... a sense of humor is definitely required. Especially when baby boy decides he doesn’t want his picture taken at this moment. Real life with newborn captured, outside at a social distance of course.

I love this mama’s witty and pretty cards so check out @littlegoatpaperco 💌 and send your friends and fam some snail mail love!

Outdoor newborn sessions are making me SO happy right now. And we all need that, right?!? I love seeing these families again with their new additions, I love capturing those first days for them, I love that we can do this despite all the havoc the pandemic has wreaked on us.

This babe brought his family total to five. Mom brought out a handmade ‘hungry caterpillar’ quilt we used in his big brother’s photos three years ago. I LOVE this quilt, one of my favorite personal newborn items ever to have used in sessions. Capturing this healthy baby on a beautiful family item on a gorgeous summer day was perfection.

It's been three months since I did #TheFrontStepsProject , back when the pandemic had just started turning our lives upside-down. Three months that feel like a year ago, right?!? We've all processed so much since then, the pandemic just part of it...
✨
Until writing this, I haven't really reflected on those early weeks. I almost feel naive, now knowing the magnitude, the failures, the resulting disappointments. It's kind of amusing that we wasted time debating whether to cancel our spring break plans. Our fear of the pandemic was profound, amplified by the vast unknown about the disease -- I spent countless hours on my laptop and phone trying to read every new bit of information. Thank goodness we have a better grasp on that, even if we can't control people's actions.
✨
There was also a touch of adrenaline, a buzz that we were about to live through something so unprecedented. Determination that, we can do this. The spirit of being in it together and helping each other through it, even while separated. And the perspective that this completely sucks but at least we're employed, and we have a safe home with a full pantry and Wifi to keep us learning and working. And if we're so fortunate, then you bet we’ll to find ways to help others who are hit hard by this pandemic.
✨
#TheFrontStepsProject was exactly that -- a gift to bring families together and in return, they donated to the Greater DC Diaper Bank. Three months later, I'm so grateful to have documented the beginning of an unimaginable journey for each of these families. THAT is what photography is all about.
