Growing up we used the word "times" a lot. As in "time-out". Like we'd be playing dodgeball in the street with a bunch of friends & a car would be approaching & one of us would yell  "times!" & we'd move out of the way & freeze while the car passed, then the game would resume. Or my sisters & I would be playing toilet tag in the front yard & right when I was about to be tagged & turned into a toilet (you guys played this too, right?) I would yell "times!" so that I was safe until I could get away. And the word that kept coming to mind when I sat down to write this post was "times!". The session I posted last week was my last scheduled shoot & I'm now officially on maternity leave, taking a little time-out. And I'm really excited about it. I plan on doing a lot of house-cleaning / organizing / decorating / all-things-nesting, a good amount of napping, some sewing, some Christmas-music-listening (yes, I start in October, don't judge me) & a whole lot of getting-ready-for-baby. I'll still be posting here but rather than family shoots & weddings they will be posts of our little girl's nursery, probably some Moxie, & eventually tons & tons of photos of our baby girl. After all, she will be here NEXT MONTH. A friend of ours took some photos of Craig & I last week & I'll share more once I get them edited but for now here's one of my favorites. I love that man.

You forgot one thing on your "maternity leave to-do list".... eating scones! (And we can listen to Christmas music on the way there!)

Erika- I've really enjoyed watching your photography grow. Thanks for sharing early on what worked for you. I'd love to meet again to catch up on more things that have worked for you now that you're officially on "maternity leave." Let me know if I can take you out for chai or something soon! Warm wishes mama.
