What happened to the "me" time you've been meaning to take? Did it get put on the backburner again? It's no secret that you're willing to make sacrifices for your loved ones, and the thought of self-care makes you want to roll your eyes as you think, "I wish!" or "It must be nice!"
But you know better than to take the little things for granted because the everyday adventures are just as precious as the epic ones and that's something that should be celebrated. Y-O-U should be CELEBRATED for all that you do to "keep it together!"
JUST IN TIME FOR MOTHER'S DAY!
I offered last minute Mama & Me Mini Sessions this past weekend, the same day the Watauga County Farmers' Market opened for the season. The weather was gorgeous and it was jam packed with excited shoppers on opening day. We avoided the crowds and photographed the sessions nearby at Horn in the West in the Hickory Nut Ridge Living Museum area.
There were a total of 6 mamas and 10 kids that I got to photograph. The kiddos explored with gusto, not stopping for one second to take a breath. Demonstrations and tours were happening at the same time that also had them occupied. They kept me on my toes with their running, climbing, jumping, and playing— the 20-minute sessions seemed to fly by!
A MOTHER'S DAY GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
Some mamas bought a Mama & Me Short & Sweet Session for themselves, but there were also a few folks that get kudos for buying a session as a Mother's Day gift. Husbands bought early presents for their wives, and one session was purchased by a daughter as a gift to her mama who has never had pictures taken by a professional photographer!
I loved capturing all the patient mamas as they carefully guided their little ones during our time together. Watching them support and protect their little ones along the way filled me with the warm and fuzzy's.
There's nothing better than capturing the connection between mamas and their babies. It's a special bond that will stand the test of time, and I'm honored that folks choose me to photograph the love that is shared.
Thank you to everyone for entrusting Wayfaring Wanderer to photograph your growing families. I'm so grateful that past clients have turned into friends, and I'm thankful for the new folks that found their way to me as well. Connecting with adventurous peeps like you is what it's all about, and I feel beyond lucky to have to opportunity to serve you!
