A Day in the Life | The Hull Family | Portland Maine Photographer

I have photographed this sweet family many times now. But that was years ago, back in Hawaii.  That was two kids ago, in a different time. Life decided we all would end up on the east coast, so last month when mama had Baby Four, I knew I had to fly down to Virginia to see them.

It was such a treat have the “big kids” read to me and play games, meeting “E” and her incurable optimism, and welcoming the “new baby” into the world.  But honestly, just having the comfort of old friends was the best part.

I don’t get to do “A Day in the Life” Photos that often, but I am reminded why I love them so much.

Documenting all the little moments makes for the best keepsake ever.  And moms, you know, when you are in the thick of it, it is hard to see all the joy in the day.  But there is so.much.joy in our days when we really look.
