FAMILY SESSION: Together is Best

I'm a worrier by nature...

I get uptight about many things...mostly it's the "what ifs"...it can quite literally keep me up at night...There are times that I have to simply "talk myself off the edge" of the crazy feelings that well up inside...I know they are ridiculous, I know that I don't really have control, but for some reason, my ridiculous brain thinks that by hashing them over and over and over again, something will change.

I don't know if it's the fear of disappointing people or maybe it's the fear of having regrets...that IF ONLY (there I go with the IFs again)...

Whatever the cause, whatever the reason, I do tend to fret...I've had to learn (and I do not excel at this by any means) to let things go...to allow others to think what they will...to accept that I made a mistake and take responsibility for it and GO ON...

It can totally wind you tight sometimes...

but, then you meet people like Heidi...

and she accepts you just how you are...and she loves her children to the moon and back and yet, let's them be JUST WHO THEY ARE...

She seemingly finds the happy in the mundane...she finds purpose in the struggle...she discovers the happy in the challenge...

I love meeting up with her family because I always feel accepted...I come away feeling like part of the family...and I leave inspired by how she & her hubby parent and love on their kids...

It's been a busy fall...I have many more galleries to process and deliver..this is their last sneak peek before their session is uploaded and ready to go!
