my week of mornings

even though i wouldn’t consider myself a “morning person”, i sure have come to love mornings.  especially this time of year when it is usually the least windy time of day.

dear wind…it’s not me, it’s you.

so this past week, i decided to change things up a little.  instead of my typical, evening, golden hour walkabout – i took my photos in the morning instead.  i did the same thing last year for the entire month of january, and i found it be super inspirational.

it’s always good to change things up.  and it always amazes me and how something as simple as the time of day will result in a little different take on the world around me.  after three+ years of taking a photo everyday, it’s refreshing to see the same things in a new way.

an ordinary life less ordinary…one of the many gifts of photography.  thanks for letting me share with you!

love, kelly

    What a beautiful morning … {cue music}. You may just have inspired me to wake my camera up when I do. I cannot believe Tripp is already swimming? Is he a polar bear?

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!
