It’s a cliché to say that children teach you to ‘stop & smell the roses’. It’s also true. They stop to smell the roses. They strongly suggest I do as well. There are days when tired is not a strong enough word. There are days when coffee & sunglasses help. There are days when they...
She asks if she can take pictures with my camera. I almost say no. I always say yes. She holds it correctly. She leaves finger prints on my lens. Anouk usually photographs objects. Ava photographs people. If I ask them what flavour ice cream they want, Anouk will say chocolate. Ava can never decide. I...

I love your everyday photographs, they capture so many special moments in the day-to-day routine that you might otherwise miss! I have been thinking of documenting a day or a week in our lives this summer with my SLR, you have inspired me!
Hi Sarah! Thanks for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re inspired! You should go for it. One great way to document a day is by taking one photo every hour for an entire day. You should definitely document ‘a week’ this Summer. Especially since it’s your last Summer before your eldest goes off to school. Have fun with it! x
An amazing blog, I can relate on so many levels, I love your style of writing it is so freindly and personal. You are a fabulous photographer. Love the swing photo with the playground in the background.xJess
These are just the most gorgeous images and I love that you are just enjoying being with your kids.
So glad I have found your site.

Lovely post 🙂
Thanks for visiting Naomi! x
So glad you stopped by Sonia 🙂
Thanks for this comment Jess. As bloggers I guess we don’t know how we are coming across unless we are told. I would hope to be friendly & personal, so that means a lot to me. xx
Your photographs are stunning, retro, and reminiscent of my own childhood memories. The color and the shape of these images, rounded corners and all, makes me feel very connected to the images. This is my first time on your blog and I’m sure to come back and visit again. Thanks for the reminder…I try to start each day trying to live in the moment with my sweet baby girls. These are the best days…at least that is what my mom tells me!
Lisa this is beautiful. You stop to ‘smell the roses’ and by doing so see the beauty in the small moments, that is lovely. I love your photos – the library, the swings, scooters, your sunglasses and coffee, your girls whipping up a storm. Just lovely. xo
