I’ve found a new place that is just so perfect for mini sessions, and I can’t wait to play there. Care to join me? Here’s a sample: An orchard. An old quilt. A happy family. Isn’t it perfect that we do some sessions in an orchard in the south Bay… a place that not so...
(Franklin and me on this day, May 7… exactly 8 years ago. He’s 2 days old.) A mother’s body remembers her babies—the folds of soft flesh, the softly furred scalp against her nose. Each child has its own entreaties to body and soul. It’s the last one, though, that overtakes you. . . A first...

That photo kills me, he’s still a tiny baby and I’m bringing you a casserole.
And that is all.
Whew. That’s what I have to say about this. How beautifully written.
Love love love this post. This really makes me want to savor these moments with our last one. Life is crazy, busy, our, very messy, and exhausting, but lovely and wonderful and this time, with little little kids and babies goes by too fast. I can’t believe he is 8! Thanks for making me take time to jut enjoy this time.
Wish I could bring you a casserole!!
You have a beautiful train!!
WOW!! I read this tonight with my new (and last) 10 week old baby in my lap……it brought tears to my eyes and summed up my feelings PERFECTLY. Thank you for putting your thoughts into such beautful words.
Well I can tell we are in the same stage and the same train of thought. Thanks for putting in into words so amazingly. Happy Birthday to Franklin. I can’t believe I remember when he was born. Have we really known each other that long?? I know, I know, it’s been way longer.
Beautifully, Shannon!
That’s it. I’m having another baby right now.
Ahhh… spring break. This year I struggled with the difficult decision of staying home and spring cleaning or going camping.

Looks awesome! I putting this on my “to do” list.
Wow. This is really inspiring—we are going to camp this summer in Vedauwoo for the first time with all of us—haven’t camped since before kids. It’s time to get back to it : )
How fun and adventurous and aahhhh, family bonding time is the best isn’t it! Very Cool Shannon! (loved learning about your love of climbing too)
This session was good for my soul. It was on a day where I really needed the perfect weather, the perfect light, and the perfect family to cheer me up. And that is exactly what I got! I left for this session straight from my friend Kathi’s house, after saying goodbye to her as she...

Love. Love. Love. Beautiful pictures!
I met this family several years ago, and in the time since I met them, I’ve always been impressed by the sweet interactions among each other. A large family, with extra large hearts. Twins! Thanks, Dallas, for serving our country! (he’s a Marine) These two are the best.
