<div style="text-align: center;">
my crush on them has nothing to do with the fact that they remind me of my first two children. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(i can't wait to meet with their parents to show them the rest of the session!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our weekend ahead happens to be filled with all sorts of parties and engagements.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(abi's last soccer game, two halloween parties, two birthday parties, one baby shower, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a mother/daughter get-together, an adult party for b and i, our church service, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dinner out with friends, piano and guitar lessons, and somewhere in there </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we need to fine tune our halloween costumes.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's bewitching enough to make a person feel batty. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(i couldn't help that last statement. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but even when our lives are filled with such a frenetic pace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we can still walk away from the weekend feeling refreshed or somewhat rested</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because we've spent our time differently than during the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is why i might particularly love these photos from this session.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because believe me, we had fun on this session. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the boys ran around, played and spent some good boy energy while we were out shooting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but in these quick moments, they were still. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
caught thinking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or perhaps taking a deep breath.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's a good reminder for me before our weekend schedule begins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hope you get a few moments like these in this weekend too!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happy friday! xo.<br />
<br />
by the way, this happens to be my 500th blog post!!<br />
is there some sort of award for that?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

today, i'm going on a field trip to <a href="http://www.portlandnursery.com/events/appletasting.shtml" target="_blank">portland nursery</a> with oliver's class.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
every year they put on an extensive apple tasting and dazzle you with all the types of apples that exist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so, it's officially a happy apple friday!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the fifth graders at sunnyside</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
learn quite a bit about apples.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
a few weeks ago,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we took another field trip here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
we visited their orchard,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
used the apple press to make cider,</div>

(they say the trick to the best cider is to use different types of apples together.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
we made applesauce</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and learned about grafting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKF63FLN8DHIhBlXQYaWH-zIhdn-u_Gzvbgy-ChakhB98Z2KN71Bq2GfQ0OOxPau1R5BsA2el8nctieLR8-ETOs01K8l3HFQJWDOwjyK9eNae2mowbLEWibo4T6j8cVwnogpd7/s1600/apples-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKF63FLN8DHIhBlXQYaWH-zIhdn-u_Gzvbgy-ChakhB98Z2KN71Bq2GfQ0OOxPau1R5BsA2el8nctieLR8-ETOs01K8l3HFQJWDOwjyK9eNae2mowbLEWibo4T6j8cVwnogpd7/s640/apples-8.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
oliver was able to assist on grafting a branch together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it almost made me teary to watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i didn't really know much about grafting or really even that it was a common practice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one solid apple tree's root system can grow and support different types of apple branches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicjGicUZ0XEojNhy8gABPvVbQEL76vq4kE-7YiSEuVD0YNLpFTCPk-mBSmwbAg2xYB4mkmfnILdRjVVDi3DqKseSNv5kQMQ7q7Fh5gD64BmudvwHJzoIp0Sc1ZwrxwYOnMAmLR/s1600/apples-9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicjGicUZ0XEojNhy8gABPvVbQEL76vq4kE-7YiSEuVD0YNLpFTCPk-mBSmwbAg2xYB4mkmfnILdRjVVDi3DqKseSNv5kQMQ7q7Fh5gD64BmudvwHJzoIp0Sc1ZwrxwYOnMAmLR/s640/apples-9.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you can cut a branch off it's tree,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
glue and tape it to another branch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it will survive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i think people are grafted together like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
makes me especially think of my dear friends who are adopted</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
or have adopted a child.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that apple trunk gives life to the branch regardless.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's very life steadily flows out to the branches</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sustaining them</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
without another thought of how they got there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcByG2jRnFGASua5_so1ffxeFJvLIKR4l6zKLeqWYzYpjRwYU5XyIOrST54eUnRvtj3zITn_2yKkSIWZR953VpdNqsXN5ROSEna7fbnyGoyMOqPOcMs4yb2IIOezN-rPJ8bIS/s1600/apples-10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQcByG2jRnFGASua5_so1ffxeFJvLIKR4l6zKLeqWYzYpjRwYU5XyIOrST54eUnRvtj3zITn_2yKkSIWZR953VpdNqsXN5ROSEna7fbnyGoyMOqPOcMs4yb2IIOezN-rPJ8bIS/s640/apples-10.jpg" width="428" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we can learn so much from nature.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for example, did you know that in order to get the big apples,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you must prune the tree?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you have to take the smaller apples out so that the tree isn't doing too much work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
um. i can relate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when you do prune the small apples out,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the apples left become that much sweeter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
okay. makes sense.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are you getting this?</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaHImjQ9N_lJfdRIia74e_8-usq7_xf0IOFavJqByBGU30Qlb7-PMLxQG8vyckneHXNnRaqL4J8lrqVERuCX09d7gVbrsze-YiOEw-Poa9w-hICzSMkVadi3_DdXbAAo_kU_6M/s1600/apples-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaHImjQ9N_lJfdRIia74e_8-usq7_xf0IOFavJqByBGU30Qlb7-PMLxQG8vyckneHXNnRaqL4J8lrqVERuCX09d7gVbrsze-YiOEw-Poa9w-hICzSMkVadi3_DdXbAAo_kU_6M/s640/apples-6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are definitely some lessons to learn here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at the very least,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm feeling like pie should be in the schedule this weekend, aren't you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happy friday!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and happy fall harvest!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
xo.<br />
<br />
ps. a little shout out to my dear keri:<br />
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KASE!<br />

how do you fill your children's rooms?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
do you let them hang things on their walls?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
do you decorate for yourself and your tastes or theirs?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or maybe you've found a happy medium for both of you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
have you ever invested in quality portraiture but then not known where to hang it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
from what i've found, most of us want a family print </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
somewhere in the house centrally located,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but beyond that we don't think very far outside the box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
recently i photographed how one of my clients displayed some of their children's portraits.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i thought you all would like to see.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they have three ADORABLE children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we did a shoot last year and they ordered a bunch of framed prints to hang</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
along the stairwell. they look great and add nicely to their visual family history on those walls.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but my favorite thing they ordered</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
were these large canvas prints of each of their children.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
let's take a quick tour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
first their son's room:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
do you see the print?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
don't you LOVE where they hung it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
this guy is a sweetheart, let me tell you! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he was playing minecraft (my boys' favorite video game)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the ipad when i came over, but was so willing to let me intrude.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i love how comfortably boyish his room is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i love how that bright blue-eyed portrait is one of the first things you see when you enter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now, this i had to capture while i was there, because i think it says it all:</div>

in his words above: "It meant a lot to me because it is one of my favorite things to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It reminds me of how much my parents love me."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i don't remember what was on the other side of that card hanging down,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but for me, it couldn't have been more poignant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there right in front of his portrait, the one his parents bought because</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they love him so much, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was this card of him talking about being reminded that they love him.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
that to me, is what is hanging a portrait of your kids is all about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
reminding them that you love them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that their sweet face is the thing you want to see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there are too many kids in this world that never get photographed at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
people don't even notice they are there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
honestly, it breaks my heart often to think of it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but then in contrast, i get to see the beauty of a family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who loves their children so much that they photograph them</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
and give them a portrait that makes their space their own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
everyone needs that type of space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
do you see the next sweet little portrait?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
the girls share a room, but in it there is defined space by both of their portraits.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in my few moments with the girls,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i love how they shifted from so silly and fun,</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
to quiet and still.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i think that is what personal space does.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it allows you the freedom to be who you are and feel what you feel.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

there is no question as to whose space is whose.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
and i love that there is a little piece of my work in their rooms<br />
that remind them of that love.<br />
<br />
hanging your child's portraits in their room says this to them:<br />
you live here.<br />
this is your space.<br />
and you are very loved.<br />
what child wouldn't want that??<br />
<br />
okay. i'm off to order canvases for my own kids! ;)<br />
thanks to gina + eric for allowing me to come photograph your portraits!<br />
(and your family in the first place!)<br />
thanks for the inspiration!</div>

to have her face framed by her daughters embrace!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it reminds me so much of <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/allison-tate/mom-pictures-with-kids_b_1926073.html" target="_blank">this article</a> called 'the mom stays in the picture' by allison tate:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(thank you daisy for sending it my way!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the friend <span style="font-family: inherit;">above</span> is a photographer herself </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and like many of us, stays behind the camera most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but read this below from the article:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>Too much of a mama's life goes undocumented and unseen. People, including my children, don't see the way I make sure my kids' favorite stuffed animals are on their beds at night. They don't know how I walk the grocery store aisles looking for treats that will thrill them for a special day. They don't know that I saved their side-snap, paper-thin baby shirts from the hospital where they were born or their little hospital bracelets in keepsake boxes high on the top shelves of their closets. They don't see me tossing and turning in bed wondering if I am doing an okay job as a mother, if they are okay in their schools, where we should take them for a vacation, what we should do for their birthdays. I'm up long past the news on Christmas Eve wrapping presents and eating cookies and milk, and I spend hours hunting the Internet and the local Targets for specially-requested Halloween costumes and birthday presents. They don't see any of that.</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: none; color: #333333; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
it's true. so much of what makes us GREAT as parents often remains unseen.</div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
even to our children.</div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
so why not be in photos with them?</div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
or book that shoot you've been dreaming of having?</div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
i know it takes bravery to put yourself out there and get in the photos, </div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
but just in case you need a little more motivation, read below:</div>
<div style="color: black; line-height: normal;">

Someday I won't be here -- and I don't know if that someday is tomorrow or thirty or forty or fifty years from now -- but I want them to have pictures of me. I want them to see the way I looked at them, see how much I loved them. <b>I am not perfect to look at and I am not perfect to love, but I am perfectly their mother.</b></span></i></div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
when i began this journey as a family photographer, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i had no idea how many women would feel so uncomfortable being in photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's honestly been heartbreaking to watch women beat themselves up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i think that's why i love what allison has to say.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
taking photos with your kids is one more way</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to leave a lasting impression of love on them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you are, after all, perfectly their mother. ;) (or father.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
have a happy friday all!!</div>

hello.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my name is elliot prentiss</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i didn't write this, but my mom is pretending i did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she can be controlling like that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for example, i'm having a really big day today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it's my first day of kindergarten.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i know!! it's a big deal, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so, guess what my mom makes me do?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
take a picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but not just a picture, she tells me i have to make a 'k' in sign language with my hand</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
because 'k' is for kindergarten.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so i did:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhucJ-7gxTVBZ_BsuAtGLyURhdVHMAR6GJiOk1XtTP0M-YbmpoC5umYNcZSdtGNjcMZ4yRM2rAMV6qxiIsffrVPzMNmpZdlpP70p1jh5dwHcpAvWxtRzOVEJOJicEn6lmS7C92O/s1600/elliot-1-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhucJ-7gxTVBZ_BsuAtGLyURhdVHMAR6GJiOk1XtTP0M-YbmpoC5umYNcZSdtGNjcMZ4yRM2rAMV6qxiIsffrVPzMNmpZdlpP70p1jh5dwHcpAvWxtRzOVEJOJicEn6lmS7C92O/s640/elliot-1-3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i was concentrating hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you know, the 'k' isn't that easy to make.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but i did it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and as a thank you, my mom tells me that i look too serious.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i'll smile:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQBqemDa6_P2C3hz9Dvd6N5988SOglAybQTb1ZEXiGGueTi3RGiKRHSusxfs4gimM7tQYvgy3HRe-ohqgojjFtx3M2iOSrp526aSQrGKjaO89l8YIUaAeI-zNMCYFnmL96dBqe/s1600/elliot-1-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQBqemDa6_P2C3hz9Dvd6N5988SOglAybQTb1ZEXiGGueTi3RGiKRHSusxfs4gimM7tQYvgy3HRe-ohqgojjFtx3M2iOSrp526aSQrGKjaO89l8YIUaAeI-zNMCYFnmL96dBqe/s640/elliot-1-2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i should have been done by this time and off to start my new life as a kindergartener.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but then, again, she says, "you need to turn your hand around. so people can see the 'k'."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
fine. and then these two jump in the picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
don't they have places to go too?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
finally, my mom says i can put the 'k' down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm FREE TO BE ME!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
amazing people have surrounded me since the beginning of starting my business.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
people who believed in what i was doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
people who hired me in the very beginning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
people who cheered me on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm forever grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i want to marry you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but still, working solo has it's challenges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you have to be a jill of all trades and fill every need that arises.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(not to mention, claim every mistake.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the learning curve is huge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but surprisingly, i haven't felt so alone in this because of those around me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this weekend, i'm working with a special one of you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
perhaps my biggest helper along the way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she happens to be the creative genius behind my logo,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
business cards, header, cd covers, etc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i also took my very first photography class with her in college!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(i'm convinced she's WAY more talented than i am. it's true.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but more than that, she's someone i can call,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ask to drop everything and help me figure something out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i can complain about photoshop to her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and she just laughs and then feels sorry for me. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
etc. etc. etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
she's my etc. friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because it's too hard to explain all the ways she fills in for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so when i think of pulling away to work my butt off for a weekend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i naturally think of her meeting me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND to make it even specialer, it just so happens to be my birthday weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>so off we go.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tonight, i fly out to denver. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

i recently had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with a dear family</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at <a href="http://www.sokolblosser.com/" target="_blank">sokol blosser winery</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the place was stunning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the staff were so helpful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(and afterwards, the wine was tasty!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the shoot was of the extended family who were all gathered together for a wedding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the mother of the bride had contacted me because she wanted a casual shoot</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of the family together the day before the wedding.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it was a photoshoot for her, giving her the freedom to have the pictures that she wants</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and the freedom to relax and enjoy the wedding the next day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(i love the idea so much that i'm tucking it away for the future!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it just so happens that this type of casual and natural photoshoots are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
exactly what i love to do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yesterday, i was working on the collection of shots i took and i found this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it made me pause.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it made me hopeful and thankful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaTlsTf1nWf2UqWqkmRJrBgq8nInvjPVZOobey0i_ySOCETCRwv3qh8ZKpVe69tiSfJ49rH51qyfrIrNXWuDMszutTQOifUlvey8pft8ZtTKLNKft2C30YY_E63ipe6hdw-52X/s1600/samandalex-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaTlsTf1nWf2UqWqkmRJrBgq8nInvjPVZOobey0i_ySOCETCRwv3qh8ZKpVe69tiSfJ49rH51qyfrIrNXWuDMszutTQOifUlvey8pft8ZtTKLNKft2C30YY_E63ipe6hdw-52X/s800/samandalex-1.jpg" width="800" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
when i saw it, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i thought,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"if you can do this for each other</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the rest of your lives you'll be fine."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is a mystery to marriage shown in this moment<br />
of connection, humor and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i've spent a good deal of time thinking of my own marriage this <strike>summer</strike> <strike>year</strike> lifetime.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and one thing i'm truly thankful for is how brian and i can laugh together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a sense of humor might be one of the best gifts you can bring into your marriage<br />
and i'm pretty sure that if you can keep laughing, you'll get through almost anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so to alex and sam (bride and groom above),</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i want to say CONGRATS to you!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my hope is that your wedding day was filled with laughter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as well as the rest of your lives together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm looking forward to editing the rest of your family's photos,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but until then, enjoy this moment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm thankful to have captured it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to my blog readers, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i know it's been a while. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i've given myself permission to break from this and other things this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but i have missed you all!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i'm happy to be back for a moment to wish you all </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a happy friday!!</div>

what do you get when you add these things together:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. counting down the days of school left (eight more!!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. my twelve year old playing lazar wolf in <i>the fiddler on the roof</i> at his school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. my preschooler almost done with preschool and starting kindergarten next year!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. the quick approach of summer (how many more of these do i have with my kids?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. a photo session with a precious eight day old.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(sneak peak:)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
answer:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a wonderfully sappy song of course!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(you expect that much on this blog by now, i'm sure.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you don't see the connection?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the combination of all of these have caused me to process much of our life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
seeing a baby and realizing how much my kids are not one,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plus embracing all of the transition at hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plus watching fiddler on the roof a few times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this song really stood out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyway, here's the lyrics:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from fiddler on the roof (with one verse omitted)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>SUNRISE, SUNSET</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="main-text" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><i>Is this the little girl I carried?<br />Is this the little boy at play?<br />I don't remember growing older<br />When did they?<br /><br />When did she get to be a beauty?<br />When did he get to be so tall?<br />Wasn't it yesterday<br />When they were small?<br /><br />Sunrise, sunset<br />Sunrise, sunset<br />Swiftly flow the days<br />Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers<br />Blossoming even as we gaze</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="main-text" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><i><br />Sunrise, sunset</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="main-text" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><i>Sunrise, sunset<br />Swiftly fly the years<br />One season following another<br />Laden with happiness and tears<br /><br />What words of wisdom can I give them?<br />How can I help to ease their way?<br />Now they must learn from one another<br />Day by day<br /><br />Sunrise, sunset<br />Sunrise, sunset<br />Swiftly flow the days<br />Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers<br />Blossoming even as we gaze<br /><br />Sunrise, sunset<br />Sunrise, sunset<br />Swiftly fly the years<br />One season following another<br />Laden with happiness and tears</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="main-text" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">i'm hoping the combo of all of these, also lends itself to another</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"> happy friday!!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but i did find one part of it that i'm totally enamored with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
let me introduce you to my granny chair:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, as i've been practicing that lately,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i started dreaming about a really comfortable chair in my newly forming office.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i started contemplating glider rockers and other arm chairs </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that i thought would fit and that i'd enjoy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
well, i visited one of my favorite vintage shops here in portland (vintage pink)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and found this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it rocks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it swivels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it comforts me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so now it's mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but when brian stopped by the shop to pick it up,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he liked it so much that he bought it's twin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so now we have two.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one upstairs for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and one down for people like him:</div>

which feels perfect</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because then i don't have to share as much. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
can't wait for you to see the rest of the office.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
did i tell you that i actually kicked one of my children</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
out of their bedrooms so that i could use it as an office?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yes. that's right. i did.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and now that space is becoming mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm pretty sure it will be amazing~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not in the magazine cover sort of way,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but in the 'personal space in the house gives space to my soul'</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sort of way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm just a little bit happy about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(more to come.)</div>

i will never forget longing for a little girl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
during that third pregnancy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and then finding out she was coming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'll never forget holding her for the first time in my arms </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and how i couldn't stop staring at her in the hospital.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and here she is. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
EIGHT years old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i still can be caught</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
staring at her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in all her complicated beauty.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm so thankful she's mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i pray i can watch her grow through life.</div>

happy birthday to my little lubell~</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
(i love this sweet face above!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we've experienced some weeks of summer weather here this month</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which has been amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
last year at this time, we had grey skies and chilly weather all the way until the first of july.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it's pure torture to hear of everyone's lounging on the beach</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while we were still wrapping up into the same winter sweaters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
anyway, i feel you should know that we've all been wearing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
flip-flops, shorts, and tank tops recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the sunshine is good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we're also hosting my in-laws over this next week...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which always brings another type of sunshine into our lives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
abigail is turning 8 on the 21st. (monday)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we'll be roller skating away tomorrow to celebrate her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and our marriage turns 15 this 24th. (thursday)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(yay! we made it all the way to the end!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so it's a big month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but today it's just friday...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
movie and pizza here we come!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happy friday to the rest of you!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
over here it's been all sunshine and great weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we still have a month left in our school year</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which, for me, is always the hardest time of year to stay in the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i've got the summer fever big time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm longing for a lazy schedule.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here's just a quick reminder that you still have a few more days to book</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://kateprentiss.blogspot.com/2012/05/special-mothers-day.html" target="_blank">the mother's day special</a>!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(it's the lowest price you'll see at kpp all year.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
((and it's totally fine to book now, shoot later this year.))</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that's all for now~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">ANNOUNCING:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">a fabulous mother's day special!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here is the deal:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>from today until Mother's Day,</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>book a mini session~</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>for yourself </b>(this is a good idea!), your mom, your granny, your neighbor, your sister,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or your other brother's mother.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>at a super low special rate.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>$65</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(more than half off my normal mini session rates.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(included in this session is a 15-20 minute photoshoot</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in portland, or and one digital copy of a photo of your choice.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here are two reasons why i'm doing this so low:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) because i'm a mother.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i love motherhood and i know you mom's out there are in the thick of it,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
no matter what stage your children are in.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so it's like my special gift to you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) to prevent more of these things from happening:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(awkward matching.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
have you had your breakfast yet?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm kicking off this week with a mother's day photo special (announced on wednesday).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
stay tuned.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i also am wrapping up edits from my sessions in california recently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so excited to show you some of those.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
beyond just working to get stuff done,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one thing i'm trying to work into my life is space for quiet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i've been trying to get up earlier to just sit and think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i was trying to explain my need to be alone to my oldest son one night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and he said, "but you're alone all day."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we started laughing because three days a week, that is true. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i have all four kids in school, so from about 9:30-2:30, i'm alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but it doesn't feel quiet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it feels noisy with busyness and rushing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there is so much to get done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and sitting still,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
finding quiet or rest,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
takes discipline~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a commitment to push against everything screaming for your attention.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so even if it's only ten minutes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it feels worth it to me to get up a little earlier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just to sit and think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
now, i'm just praying my kids don't start waking up earlier as well, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like they did when they were babies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'm pretty sure, this behavior would cause me to give up on the practice. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
i'd love to hear if you make space like this for yourself?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what practices or strategies do you have in place?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
here's hoping your efforts are fruitful today </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and that you have a space for quiet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
xo.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
i hope this weekend gives you time to explore and notice the details around you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
recently a friend challenged me with trying to see something new about one of my children.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you know what that did?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it made me look closer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pay more attention.<br />
i had to be still and think about this kid standing right in front of me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and i did notice and learn new wonderful things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
children are so naturally gifted at this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wondering, noticing, exploring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we adults could stand to learn from them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this weekend, i hope you see something you've never noticed before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
right in the places and faces you're always looking at.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
may we have eyes to see!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
happy friday!! xo.<br />
