These months are flying by. I have been fortunate to be very busy during this season of life, but that also means I’m feeling a bit of overwhelm as well. As I keep busy with so many business related things, I find that I am actually doing pretty well with personal related things too. The only item in my life that someone may consider to be falling on the wayside is keeping a tidy home (but I have my whole life for that, right? haha).
Wowwee, March was a heck of a month for us. I didn’t realize how crazy it was until I was sitting down to draft together this blog post and share all of the things that we posted and did in the last month. It’s been a wild one for sure. Some of the big hits were us announcing our pregnancy (obviously), launching a podcast, and diving more into sharing our entire journey online.
November 9, 2020 I visited Maryland. I haven’t blogged about it for so long because, well, things just get in the way. But here we are—better late than never. I was actually in Annapolis, MD, to visit my sister who lives there. She wanted some holiday pictures to use for cards at the time, and I was happy to take a “work trip” and oblige.
Hey! Welcome to The Memories Podcast--a podcast dedicated to helping busy families learn how to document their everyday lives using easy and consistent methods. We’re here to teach you the tried and true methods that we’ve picked up over the years of how to document your everyday moments when life just seems way too busy. We talk about our personal lives, the lessons we’ve learned, and all of the mistakes we may have made along the way. Think of this as your one stop shop for mama gossip, photographer tips and tricks, real life fails and triumphs, and your final reason to whip out the camera.
So, in case you missed it, I’m pregnant!! My husband and I announced to the world this past Monday that we are expecting a little one this coming September. We’ve known since the beginning on January, but have been keeping my little bump a secret until now. It’s so refreshing to finally be able to tell all of you and feel your love and support. We’ve been creating videos as a form of memory keeping, and have been recording everything along the way.
I visited one of my sisters, Sara, in Maryland between November 6th-10th. She had moved there earlier in the fall and wanted some visitors, so of course I took her up on that offer. She also wanted pictures for Holiday cards, and as I’m always the go-to family photographer, I was thankful I could say it was a “work trip.” During that time we did many things including doing a day tour of the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington, DC.
While I know that wedding photos are a must, there are certain things that photos just can’t capture the same way that videos can. The posed shots, beautiful still moments, and glimpses of emotion are perfectly captured by a good photographer. But your vows, the first dance, laughter and crying, the speeches given by the most important people to you; all of these things (and so much more) can’t be captured with photos.
