MOM TIME OUT / THEIT

Before being given the super title of a “full time work at home momma and wife” (also cook, cleaner, baker, teacher….oh you know the whole package deal) I used to be an avid traveler and self proclaimed photographer. To me there is just something so magical and relaxing about that clicking sound a camera makes and the ability to immortalize the beautiful through a photograph.

Being a full time momma and juggling a growing business, it is sometimes almost impossible to pursue a passion. My world is now rocked by a whole new level of being, a.k.a a toddler.  I mean there is just so little time in the day! Every so often though, when I feel I need some mom “time out”, I pick up my other love, in the form of a shiny black Canon 5D camera and start putting that paparazzi face on. Oh, I would shoot just about anything (even if at most times it means flooding my IG feed with everything “River”, my 2 year old). On the very few occasions I get to pick up and go out by myself;  I go for a walk around the city, sometimes even take part in a photo meetup/walk with a few like-minded people. I find its a great way to keep me from being “Me”, meet new people, see new places, be inspired, and come home refreshed and ready for that next toddler tantrum or burnt roast!  I have always been an advocate of doing what you love, and loving what you do. After all, a happy and inspired you can very well be, the very best YOU you can give.
