LIFESTYLE MATERNITY SESSION IN AN ARKANSAS WILDFLOWER FIELD
Be here, now.
Oh my how I loved this maternity session in Fayetteville, AR .
This family had very recently moved to Arkansas from northern California and this gorgeous mother found me on Instagram and said she fell in love with my style. She and her family were so kind, easy-going and just really seemed to be in the present, enjoying each other and each moment and I think it really shows in the images. I feel like I say this quite often, but if we know what our intention is for getting professional photographs taken of us (or really anything we choose to do), and go into the session with that intention, then we can truly capture what we’re wanting. Most of the time, intentions are clear; “I want to capture this special day, time or moment in my life.” Go into your session with only that intention in mind and let the rest flow. If we lose sight of the intention, I think it also takes us out of that present moment and we want to remember these moments as they are, right? I don’t want anyone to have to fake anything because that’s not my intention for capturing people either.
This mama had ketchup stains on the belly of her dress from eating right before but laughed about it and brushed it off. Letting go of those insignificant, minor things can be difficult but go back to your intention and back to your why and the rest will fall into place. (I can easily photoshop ketchup off of a dress.)
What if we stopped wishing for more? What if we stopped wishing for the next season or moment and believed what we already know deep down, that everything is ok now and trust that the Universe has our backs?
