I spent a long time wondering why I couldn’t feel content with JUST being a stay-at-home mom or JUST being a full-time wedding photographer. I would see woman run businesses who were killing it with content, bookings, and networking and in the next scroll see mom’s who were fully engaged and interactive with their little’s at home. I was drawn to each in different ways, and I didn’t understand why. Like pick one or the other Kira!

Every once and awhile I break out my professional camera to use at home with my girls. Our bed is nice and large (number one marriage tip.. get a king sized bed!) and our master bedroom gets great natural light so I was inspired to snap some pictures of my girls messing around together. After I took a couple of them Callie wanted to take some too. She has really shown an interest in photography lately which of course makes me so proud!

There is no such thing as the perfect work/life balance or work/life balance in general. There I said it. Everyone take a deep breath with me. As I am on my wannabe superwoman recovery journey I have come to terms with the fact that I can’t fit everything I want and need to do in a day.

Behind the scenes posts are my favorite! It’s so fun to see creatives in action! I will admit.. I’m not the best at taking them.. I get so in the zone on wedding day I forget about everything else! Fortunately, I have some great seconds that snap some and I managed to snap a couple!

And just like that we have a one year old! We decided to keep her one year portraits simple. When I looked back on all the pictures from her first year of life (and yes there are a lot) the ones that mean the most to me are the ones that show the authentic moments.
