One of my goals for 2015 is to document my own family more often. In order to ensure this happens, I made a point back in January to clear four days on the calendar this year to photograph a few Day In The Life sessions of my own family. The pictures below are the result of my first attempt at documenting a day in our life.
In lieu of the very recent and tragic earthquake in Nepal, I thought there was no better time to share about the trip we took to Nepal last October than right now. Heads up: this is going to be a long blog post. It feels like an impossible feat to tell you each and every detail in a perfectly written story about our trip to Nepal. Instead, I am going to share stories behind the pictures as the words come to me. From jet lag to walking through the slums... we experienced so much... emotions... relationships... adventures. It was truly an adventure we are thankful for.
Where to even begin?!
Literally seconds after Izzie was born, all of my anxieties and fears about labor, birth, and parenting her were washed away. Maybe it was the oxytocin, or just the mere fact that her labor experience was behind me... but I felt AH-MAZING when I finally held her in my arms! PHEW - That pregnancy was a doozy!
Let us rewind a bit... :)
When I sat down to begin working through my 2015 goal setting process, the first thing I did was look back on my goal setting notes from a year ago. The beginning of 2014 marked, for me, a year of simplifying in many areas of my life. But reviewing my notes from back then was honestly OVERWHELMING. I immediately saw a mess of emotions and ideas all swirling around with one solid goal: LESS!
