It just feels like all the days have blended into It just feels like all the days have blended into one.

The purpose behind this is to capture your family at your home during this historic time in our lives. While practicing social distancing, I will not come up to you and pose anyone but will stand far back on the sidewalk or across the street from your home. 
You can dress up, dress down (just not too much 😂) you can be silly, whatever you want. 
Use this time to find joy in being home and let’s preserve this memory. ❤️🏡 You can find the signup form in my BIO up 👆🏻above, click the link. ✅ I’m planning on taking these photos Tomorrow, Sunday April 5 & Easter Sunday April 12. If those days don’t work I left the option to give me a day/time that will work for your family. 👌 
I have had a great response on Facebook, so please submit the form soon so we can get you scheduled as well.

How's everyone doing during all this mess? ❓⁠
⁠
We finished up homeschooling week1 😅 and it wasn't even a full week because I was out of the house working more than half of it. I did come up with a schedule that we can follow so that's at least something. Here's to however more 🥂 ⁠
Hey remember when we could just be with our famili Hey remember when we could just be with our families or out and about without thinking about that word...Social Distancing or Coronavirus? Yeah those were the good 'ol days 🤔⁠
⁠
So at some point when we can be okay to be around people and you would like family photos hit me up to schedule some. Click up 👆🏻in my BIO to check out my website and contact me.⁠

I am grateful for today because  _________________ .⁠
⁠
I am grateful for today because it is the last day of the week of homeschooling 😅 Man that was rough and I didn't even get in a full week because I was off shooting a video for part of the week!⁠
⁠
I am grateful for all those teachers that do their job and do it well and put up with my kids! 😳🤪🤬⁠
⁠
I am grateful because I did in fact get a schedule down that will work for my kids and me to help keep us consistent and occupied. 🙌🏻HALLELUJAH! ⁠
⁠
I am grateful for the schools in offering free healthy breakfast and lunches.⁠
⁠
I am grateful for all the people that are out there fighting for our community to help rid this virus and keep us healthy and safe. 👩🏻‍⚕️👨🏻‍🚒👮🏽‍♀️⁠
⁠
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!⁠

❓What are you grateful for today?
"Together is a beautiful place to be." Happy 1 wee "Together is a beautiful place to be." Happy 1 week anniversary to these two love birds. Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding photo process 😊
"The real act of marriage takes place in the heart "The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again — and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife." — Barbara De Angelis
Spread Love...just not the virus 😉 I am kinda f Spread Love...just not the virus 😉 I am kinda feeling all sorts of funky, like out of sorts anyone else? It's just a weird feeling so I was thinking of posting some positive quotes on here to encourage myself and maybe anyone else having a hard time with all this dumb crap going on. So even though we are supposed to be working on social distancing ourselves from others we should still find ways to ease other people's burdens through these chaotic times. Do something each day to help someone out, help yourself out even. That way when you lay down to sleep you can think of the good you did that day. ⁠
⁠
❓What good have you seen recently that people are doing in your community or even your children doing? ⁠
⁠
My 5 year old gave our family prayer tonight and said "help the coronavirus to go away" yes thank you Tate. 💓⁠
I've seen my neighborhood come together and finding fun things for the kids to do without actually playing together.  Households participated in hiding shamrocks ☘️ around their homes the other day so that kids could go out and search for shamrocks in windows, on garages, in yards. There are more games like this coming each week with different themes. We are becoming more creative again and focused on what is really important. We are becoming more resourceful and frugal and I am grateful for the opportunity for my kids and myself to see the importance of the abundance of what we have and use to have readily available but not so much now. ⁠
⁠
Spread love, hope, and kindness all around ♥️🌎
