Alrighty, let’s chat for a moment shall we?

Doesn’t it just feel like one of those days you want to sit back and wrap your hands around a steaming warm mug and stare out the window while lazily-looping cursive swoops around in your head, creating your mental to-do list for the day? Am I the only one who has a mental list in cursive? Yes? No?

All the best of days should start off with some quiet time reserved for random thoughts and reflections…for example…

I’ve never been a ‘how do you like your eggs’ kind of girl and don’t even get me started on my coffee traditions. Sometimes I like my coffee black and other days I opt for a thick pour of heavy whipping cream. This is the only kind of half-n-half that our household messes around with {and that’s reserved mainly for leisure Saturday mornings or when our good Alaskan friend is gracing us with his presence. Either/or.}. When I’m on the Spit, I enjoy it with loud glug of Bailey’s and a dollop of homemade whipped cream. Every third trip to the local Starbucks will have me opting for soy milk in my triple shot latte; otherwise, it’s a regular milk kind of day. I enjoy French Press as well as cold press and treat myself to a Miel Latte on special holidays, like my birthday or purchasing a new piece of equipment day or Thursdays. Mmmm…Thursdays. Thursdays are my jam!

But then, let’s get a little bit back to business…on a related, but totally not associated, topic of things we should also take more time for…

Photo sessions.

At the risk of sounding like an amazing rendition of a broken record, it’s never a wrong time to schedule a photo session. It is always the right time to hang out with family and the ones you love. To capture memories. To laugh and love and be present in the day. There’s so many times that I mentally kick myself for not bringing my camera, not pausing to concrete this moment in time. Not for Facebook or Insta or {for the love of all ridiculous things} Snapchat, but for myself. To have my memories preserved for me.

Time is fleeting, my friends.

Take the time to revel in it.
