Spring Favorites

Spring is here and I’m so excited seeing all the color blooming around me. After an extended maternity leave and spending the last 7 months exclusively with my babies, I’m ready to bust out of our little cocoon and back into the creative portrait spaces again. I’m so excited to take on clients again and get back to photographing what inspires me (aka you all)!

I wanted to share a handful of things that have been inspiring me daily this spring. These random favorites of mine have made me smile, encouraged me to taste, touch, smell, admire, and just appreciate the little things. Just maybe you’ll love them too (or know someone else who might… Mother’s Day IS coming up, hint hint)!

First up, these little wooden tube vases have been one of my favorite things to admire on my fridge. I walk or adventure with my girls often and am always a sucker for colorful florals and these magnets show off the latest bloom or sprout that caught my eye. It’s also the sweetest to put little wildflowers my toddler picks for me in them and watch her face light up seeing them there. Oh and it’s under $10 on Amazon and so worth it!

I use magnesium almost every night because it’s so calming before bed. This Blossom Magnesium Spray totally levels it up for me though because of the natural floral scent. It smells AMAZING and supports a small business. Win win!

I’ve been trying to eat and drink out of glass more than plastic or metals this year and when I saw this wide Woodland Mushroom drinking glass, I had to have it! The straw is glass too. It’s so cute, I’m drinking more water because I want to grab it every time I spot it in the room!

Those of you who follow me know what a huge fan I am of Andrea Naylor’s Artwork. Her details, patterns, and colors just brighten up any space. I’ve been loving her calendars especially because each month I get to change up the art in my kitchen and each one is just so stunning!

My sis sent me this for Christmas and I adore it! It goes on so smooth, but not waxy, and lasts a while! Not to mention, I’m all about anything naturally scented with rose! I have to hide it from my chapstick-stealing toddler because I don’t really want to share.

The orange tree in our backyard is totally blooming! The sweet, juicy oranges are so vibrant against the deep green leaves and the new white blossoms smell heavenly. For months now, I’ve been so inspired to photograph littles in front of it and totally want to do more! If you have a fruit tree or orchard that you’d love Mommy and Me or a kiddos shoot at, I’d love to collaborate with you!
