I deep cleaned the oven today. That's a big deal if you know me. I usually just look at the bottom of the oven and hope Mary Poppins will knock at the door and snap her fingers.  

While I have been basking in the world of home life and all its necessary chores, I love the start of the new year with new sessions! Families like this one have been such wonderful blessings to my life and add a spark any time I get to do them!

I especially love when our time starts out with a little one who spontaneously adds props into the mix. Nature and kids always mix well.

This one right here was not in the mood for me sticking my lens close to his face. I get it. I wouldn't like it either. I always try and remind my families that it is absolutely okay to go with the flow. Candids always make for the best memories in a camera, anyways!

Also, grandparents. They are the sweetest!

It's the candids for me. And the smiles and the wildflowers. Why clean the oven when I can be outside? I may go on strike. But for now, does anyone know Mary Poppins' number?
