Because the little moments matter, too

We all have routines, those repetitive moments sprinkled throughout our day that can provide a sense of security and safe haven from chaos.  Sometimes we dread them.  Sometimes we look forward to them.  Oftentimes they go completely unnoticed and undocumented, shoes being dumped at the front door and homework finding its way to the kitchen table.   As a mother, I know that many routines, however unwavering they are now, will not go on forever.  Today’s images are about documenting the little moments because these matter, too, and sometimes they even matter the most.

      

Autumn has Arrived | Seattle Family Photographer

The leaves are changing color here in the Pacific Northwest and I couldn’t be any happier…and then this family session happened.  I knew this lovely lady in high school on the East Coast and was super pleased to find out that she, too, had recently made the move to the Pacific Northwest.  Her kiddos were a hoot and really were like night and day as far as personalities go.  I had the.best.time photographing this family.  And oh my goodness, check out the eyelashes.
