As I write this post, there’s a soft rain falling…oh rain, I welcome you today! Though it does mean another session postponed in the middle of busy season, but rain means cooler temps, it means staying inside (hopefully) it means a cup of warm coffee continually on my desk and the first pot of chili in the crock pot…even a certain curly doodle is feeling it and is snuggled next to me!
I’ve been thinking so much about seasons as we enter my two favorites (fall and winter) seasons are nature’s way of moving us from one place to another. Spring is new and fresh and there’s an excitement. Summer is often a time for rest and growth. Fall is a time for harvest and winter is a time where things are quiet. I’ve been longing for fall for weeks as it seemed that our summer just wanted to stick around forever! For me, fall represents family time (my kids are back in school, they are playing sports or involved in activities) fall means my summer is over and I’m back to a normal “routine” Fall is cozy and then it brings about the holidays …which we LOVE in our family! Fall is also busy for everyone and there is just something about shorter days and spiced scents!
My heart and mind seem more at peace in the fall, I’m typically wrapping up a busy year, closing out beach seasons and hopefully finishing and accomplishing the goals that I set at the beginning of the year. I don’t feel the need to “be all the things” that I often do in the spring. I’m just able to rest more and it’s good for my soul.
I’ve had a hard time lately writing, it’s never been an issue for me. I use to crank out blog posts with ease, but I’ve felt something holding me back lately. Something keeping me from truly sharing my heart. This space, my little corner of the internet, has always been a piece of me, it’s been a place for me to share my thoughts and heart, but also the gorgeous clients that I’m able to work with day in and day out! All summer, I have been silent as I searched and journaled and I’m at a place where I feel led to share, where I’m not afraid and I am going to be brave! I’m excited..and a bit anxious, but more excited! Good things coming!
I had the amazing opportunity to photograph this beautiful young lady! Her future is so bright….and I can’t wait to see what God has for this lovely young lady! Mason, continue to shine sweet girl…You got this!
