LIFE is what's happening when you are busy making other plans...

so today was just a regular day. kids off from school. plans to meet friends. snacks packed. sunscreen applied. camera bag in tow.

a regular day of kids playing and moms chatting.
a regular early fall day.

nobody is dressed up. nobody hired me to take their portraits. nobody is feeling pressure. we are just being in the moment.

those are the most powerful moments because those are the moments when we are just living our lives. those are the moments we'll remember most when we look back.

a friend who attended our fun play date asked me if i get tired of taking the camera...tired of always 'working'. my answer was quite simple...the moments like today are where my passion for photography shines. i believe in the power of NOW.

i love the friends in our lives and i love documenting our time together.
