    Every year my family books a formal session with a professional photographer.

    I love them.  I treasure them.  I get to be in the photos with the kids, and that is everything to me.

    But, it is the day to day stuff that get me.

    I love remembering how she gives her dolls pedicures.

    I love seeing the everyday.  The everyday is what fades from our memories, but what matters most.

    So it doesn’t matter if all you have is your cellphone, or if you have a big fancy DSLR, take those photos.

    Keep those memories.

    You will be happy you did.

  • Mother’s Day in Portland, Maine

    Things you should do for yourself on Mother’s Day:
    1. Go to Whole Foods and get breakfast at their buffet (way better than the burnt toast your kids will make.) While you are there, just go ahead and get a burrito, and a take-and-bake pizza. Boom no cooking all day.
    2. Schedule a massage with Kate Nicholson Wellness.
    3. Go to Jai Yoga and self care, or maybe just a walk.
    4. Maybe a mani/pedi.
    5. Get the kids outside. They are way less needy when they are in nature.
    6. Keep expectations low. I mean…
    7. Honor the moms, grans, and aunts in your life with a little love note.
    8. Schedule a photo session (duh.) You deserve a keepsake of this time in your life.

  • Spring in Maine

    I spent Thursday and Friday with a fever and had to cancel my trip to see a friend this weekend.  But then the sun came out, the fever broke, and the house was filled with fresh air and dirty kids.  I guess it didn’t turn out so bad after all.

    Does anybody else have a lab problem?  I can’t sit on the floor without this 100lb dog trying to plop her way onto my lap.  It made for a fun photo though, so I guess I will just deal with her shenanigans.
