One thing that I learned at the Love Affair workshop was to keep first things first. As a photographer, sometimes you can get so wrapped up in taking others photos that you forget about your own children. Holding my camera sometimes start to feel like work and that is the last thing I want to feel when I am playing with my own. But, I started to realize that these are MY memories and they are so beautiful. I am thankful that I have the gift to be able to pick up my camera and take beautiful pictures of my children at any given time of the day. The below photos were taken last Saturday morning as we were playing in the yard in our pj's and winter coats. As we were playing, I noticed the beautiful sunlight coming through the trees and I knew I had to grab my camera. Everything seems so pure and beautiful in the morning light. Even more so when children are soaking up the light allowing it to fall around their hair and shine in their eyes. It is magical. Just magical...
