lavender mornings

yesterday morning was wonderful for a couple of reasons.  1) the sun came out for the first time in a week and 2) my lavender is blooming.

i’m over at focusing on life today sharing some tips for capturing the magic of the summer with backlit photos like the one above.

i’m not sure what i love more…taking pictures of my lavender or taking in its heavenly scent.

    Wonderful. My lilac are finished, but what a wonderful fragrance they had when I came out my front door.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
