Family Friday | Northwest Arkansas Lifestyle Photographer

I've been spending most of my free time going through older photos and
haven't spent a lot of time on the photos that I've been taking recently.
I'm trying to get all these old photos together and put them in a photobook.
It may even end up being two or three books
because I'm working through all unprinted photos for the last
six years.
That's a lot of photos!
It's been a great trip down memory lane.
My kiddos have grown so much over the years.
My photography has changed.
And overall I'm incredibly happy with how I've documented our life.

I want to share some of these photos,
some that have never even seen the light of day,
but only once I start working on layouts.
Right now I'm still figuring out what I want to include
and making sure they are edited.
Basically, they are still a mess.
:)

So, for today I decided to share some recent memories.

Not too long ago,
I met up with John and the girls
at a local walking/bike trail
so I could push the stroller with the tot as
the big girls rode bikes.

I find myself not bringing a big camera out with us as often as I used to do.
My phone is used as a point and shoot for our
day to day snapshots.
I could have easily only had it with me this day,
but I will be forever happy that I was meeting them after a session.
This means I already had my camera bag with me and had no excuses
to not whip out the big boys for this awesome occasion.

It was the day that Tatum was going to attempt riding her bike without training wheels.

 She rocked it.

I caught the very moment she rode her bike without any help.
I love, love, love her tongue sticking out!

There have been some pretty amazing days so far this fall
and we've spent lots of time outside.

It's been such a welcome relief to the relentless heat from this summer.
These photos are just from one afternoon right after John came home from work.
I was snapping photos of the girls as they were playing.
He noticed a huge dead branch caught in other branches up in one of the trees.
Then we took turns swinging the girls around while trying to
take photos of their faces.

Just a lovely day.

There you have it.
A little Family Friday love since it's been awhile since I posted one.
