We had an amazing time Saturday morning shooting in a place that, looking back, I’m not sure how I missed living in KC for nearly nearly 14 years. I was struck by the awe of the location … the old stonework … the bridges … the beautiful trees and tranquil setting. Throw in a couple of boys exploring anything and everything and you’ve got a recipe for non-stop discovery. I titled this post “Unity” because of our spectacular location, but also the really wonderful thing I witnessed as I watched these two run and jump and shout and pause and study: It didn’t matter how far they would go, how high they would climb, how loud they would shout … inevitably they kept gravitating back to the solid, zen-like presence of their mom. As a mom to a fearless 18-month-old, I find myself with a million parenting questions every day. But I just watched this mom calmly “let go” as they explored everything around us and they inevitably always found themselves right back by her side. It was the power of motherhood exemplified and truly a gift to watch. Thanks for the wonderful time spent Saturday morning. These are a few of my favorites … Enjoy!
