Camera Love

I couldn’t help but snap a few images of Ezra and his buddy, Everett, playing with vintage cameras during our sweet Valentines shoot last week. Melts my heart! Love seeing him re-inact what we he has seen me do the last two and half years of his life. So sweet!

Seeds For The Heart by Kelli & Vanessa

THANKS | Give thanks for He is good; His love endures forever. Psalm 118:1 #seedsfortheheart

God is so good to provide for our every need. He meets our physical needs through things like food, clothing and shelter. He gives us a sense of belonging through our family & friends. But an even greater dimension to why God deserves our thanks … because HIS LOVE ENDURES – FOREVER.

Enduring love does not change, it remains strong even in the face of brokenness, it refuses to give in. That’s the magnificent kind of love God has for us. He [deserves] our thanks.

#seedschallenge Each evening before bed, encourage them to say the verse aloud & name 2-3 different things each night that they’re thankful for & why.

To encourage you to keep this front of mind, we’ve [KELLI & VANESSA] created a FREE iphone wallpaper download [just click and save the image below]! May it remind you throughout the week to keep God’s word in your heart. XO – K&V *Be sure to turn zoom “off” so you can reposition photo to fit your screen how you wish!

Sweet Valentine

I love this boy of mine. And I love this little tradition that we’ve made….just momma & Ezra….Valentines photos!

This is the third consecutive year that my friend Lindsey and I have rounded up our boys and have been intentional about getting in front of the camera….with our little loves.

The goal is to always keep it simple, otherwise it becomes too much like work. We always shoot against a white wall and we hang a simple garland of some sort [usually found at Target]. This year we borrowed an adorable handmade garland from our favorite local boutique, Harlow.

I can’t encourage you mommas [and dads] to get in photos with your kids! You’ll never regret it….and it’s so much fun to look back at little sweet moments with our quickly growing toddlers. I love that Lindsey is committed to this as much as I am….we both send out our texts to each other towards the end of January to start tossing around ideas for the Valentines shoot. So, get with a friend…..and make it a thing!

Our first Valentines shoot can be found here …..and last years photos are here!

The goal is to get one photo that we love…..our time frame is about 10-15 minutes max. We don’t want our kids to come to hate this tradition….so we keep it simple on all fronts and always have a few treats on hand. HA!

Do any of you have fun traditions?! Let me know and share your links!

x’s & o’s, KELLI
