a day in the life | february edition

I really love this blog circle and the ladies I get to collaborate with on a monthly basis. I'm so excited for this month's post because we got away from the snow and spent a week soaking up the sun in Mexico! This month's selection is a major overshare and I think I may have combined sunsets from a couple of different days in our life, but we haven't seen sunshine in months so I'm calling it a free pass!  :) When you've finished this post please be sure to follow the circle around by clicking on the link at the bottom of the post to see what my dear friend Jeanna Ludwig has been up to this month!

Please continue the circle and take a look at what my talented friend Jeanna Ludwig has been up to this month! You can also see more of her beautiful work on Facebook here!

a day in the life | january edition

I had high hopes of capturing something really extraordinary this month. I thought we'd do something we've never done before, go somewhere completely new, have an adventure. Somehow, it never happened, and I've photographed yet another perfectly ordinary day in our lives. As I put together this post, I realized that is what I've come to love most about this project. It's teaching me to find the beautiful in the ordinary and to take the time to document the little things. The quirks like my daughter's obsessions with escalators and having us wrapped around her little finger as we find ourselves taking the fourth lap... These are the things I'll want to remember.

a day in the life | december edition

Last month, I started up a blog circle with some pretty terrific women photographers. The aim of the project was simple; one day a month capture a slice of your daily life and celebrate the beauty in the everyday. We called it "a day in the life". What I didn't realize at the time was that through this project I would also be making some of the most amazing friends a girl could ask for. 7 women from completely different backgrounds and parts of the country who, through our passion for photographic storytelling, have found common ground and formed wonderful friendships. That's what I've come to love most about this project. In case you missed last month's inaugural post, you can check it out here. Be sure to follow along the circle at the end of the post to check out what my friend Erin McGregor has been up to this month. She is an incredible photographer (and happens to live in a winter wonderland)! You won't be disappointed! This month I captured a somewhat ordinary day spent at the grocery store and picking out our second (yes, second) tree at the Christmas tree farm. Don't ask, long story... Somewhere between the grocery store and my one year old's epic meltdown I began to lose hope that my captures would be anything but ordinary. And then, for a few brief minutes, the sun peeked out and I was able to quickly snap some of my favorite images yet. So there you have it, a day in the life...

a day in the life | november edition

It started as a conversation between friends and has grown to be a project that I am so very excited about. Six lifestyle photographers from across the country forming a circle and blogging once a month about a day (or an hour, or 5 minutes!) in the life of our littles. We all wanted to slow down and capture the everyday moments. I am thrilled to be working with this amazing group and can't wait to catch a glimpse into their everyday. This month, I chose to blog a very ordinary Saturday, because I want to remember even the most ordinary moments through the eyes of my sweet girl. When you've read the post be sure to click on the link at the bottom of the post and follow the circle around to check out what my talented friend Jennifer Nobriga has been up to this month . Her work is so refreshingly honest and beautiful, you will not be disappointed!
