"It's all about living in the moment and appreciating the smallest things." For this next year I’m joining a blog circle that documents life – life as it is; its details: the mundane, the fun, the beautiful, the not-so-beautiful, the happenings, the readings, the stuff.
This month’s “small things” included games, more yummy enchiladas, trips to the library, trips to REI, puzzles, spectacular sunsets, fresh-baked bagels from the neighborhood shop, a trip to Bass Pro Shops for ammo (“Welcome, Fishermen, Hunters & Other Liars”) …
a morning at the shooting range, funny clouds, Costco yet again, chasing those funny clouds to the beach …
first day of school, cutest little brown-noser ever (flowers for his teacher), studying and more studying, revamping my photog branding (oy), playdates, the Tall Ships Festival …
sunny hot days, coffee stops to make the Monday-crazy-school-driving day more tolerable, Dog Dude watching for rabbits, the beginning of our annual read aloud Jesus Storybook Bible, one of my favorite authors dropped a new book (which I didn’t like much; bummer), mini-Colloseum reenactment (aka feeding crickets to the lizard), a long overdue trip to the River (woo hoo!!!) …
Little Dude looking like a prep school dude, bodypump, more school, super pretty clouds for the Endeavor’s last flight, new paper, PSAT prep (a little friendly competition with The Teen – I kicked his butt on the first reading section; he edged me out slightly on the first math; we tied on the 2nd reading; I edged him out slightly on the second math; and he kicked my butt in the writing … just for the record), fast-but-handsome haircut, slaying “charr” in the backyard, and a pretty night’s stroll with the dog.
All in all, I’d say it was a very good month.

Wow... what a great look into your life!
I agree, what a great look into your life! I love the movement shots! Makes everything feel so alive :)
Fantastic, Susan! Such joy in your images :)
i love the way you set these up! my kids love bass pro shops. my oldest daughter recently listed it as her "favorite place" on a school project even though we've only been there once. lol. these are beautiful. a great month indeed.
just lovely - I adore the story these image tell in the blocks you've broken them up into. looks like life has been busy...but full of joy.
So fun...this got me thinking about how I photograph our family times...thanks for the inspiration!
LOVE your lifestyle photography! You always fill me with ideas!
This is so great. Your life looks so dreamy, and peaceful. I imagine with all the dudes and dog(s?) that sometimes it's not as peaceful as others ( :) ), but you sure have a gift for capturing all of the moments!!
