Perfection! Hello all,

Christmas is approaching, FAST. The older I get, the faster they seem to come. Back to back... bam. bam. bam! It's so easy to get tied up trying to achieve perfection. I'm guilty of it as well! I must say I do love keeping myself occupied with tedious, "non important" details (non cleaning related of course). Creating things, editing, shopping. Sometimes it's fun and healthy but its easy to get carried away, causing extra unneeded stress and nearly abandoning your family! Joking... but almost serious. There's always so much to do. In this time our kids are growing, parents aging and we are changing as well. Everyday. My passion is capturing moments from everyday life but the Holidays are extra special. They present us with great opportunities with families together and short lasting seasonal joys! I challenge you to take more photos and be in them as well. Don't stress about how you look or if they are perfect or not. You will look at them years down the road and probably love them. If you don't...then I'm sure your loved ones will cherish them someday when you are not able to be in them anymore. 

I know I'll be shooting for simplicity this season. Taking extra time to spend with the loves of my life and to reflect upon what I am grateful for. We will see what happens ;). I hope you are able to take extra time for yourself and whats/ who's most important to you. 

I hope you all find great joy in imperfection this holiday season!
