A day in the life of Mae { Real Life }

To show how wonderful real life photos can be, I decided to do a day in the life of my youngest Mae, who I get the pleasure of homeschooling (unschooled style). Some usual activities that never happened yesterday was dress up to Katy Perry YouTube videos (which is happening right now as I type this), helping make juice or baking something, and reading.

So during yesterday upon waking with messy hair, she dressed herself (yes I have no say in what that child wears anymore) and wanted her hair to have a braid like Elsa ("Frozen" queen for those of you that haven't had the pleasure of watching it yet 100 times). Then she continued on with playing with her precious Katy doll and tormenting her kitten Tugg. Everyday right now colouring seems to be part of our day; she loves it! Checking out the space app on the iPad seems to be a daily thing too; she's got the order of the planets almost memorized right now. It was also a good day here as we received our 12 "Painted Lady" caterpillars in the mail; there will be a separate blog post on that one in about a month to show their progression. Then it was onto painting, running around the house, lunch, then outside play. After supper the Lego came out (which happens in our house everyday for hours), the clothes came off (everyday occurrence), she decided to make her mustard/bacon/cheese sandwich, and more art began. After all that her computer came out for some down time where she searched "Frozen" Lego then watched a cartoon. She ended her day by snuggling with her big sister Emma. What you didn't see in all this was that there were about 4 other kids here, as I also babysit during the day.

 

All these photos I used manual only on my camera; with a couple of them being Free Lensed too. I caught some new favorite photos of my Mae, I think this is because I captured her doing things she loves doing and you can see this in her smile. So maybe everyone should consider "Real Life" sessions more, as they will capture their children's real expressions not forced ones. Something to think about and well worth the money you are going to spend anyways.

Enjoy and share the love.
