Scattered Roots Photography

I can’t even think of a caption adequate for this photo because it’s just so good!

Going into this session, I wasn't feeling my best. I had just spent 35 minutes in the car with 4 kids, the chance of rain was stressing me out and I just wasn't in the best head space.

While I was waiting for my session to start I sent my husband an annoyed text complaining about something and the second I hit send, I wished I hadn't.

The moment it left my mouth (hands) I knew it wasn't helping anything. So without a pause I heard a voice telling me to pray about it. So I stopped setting up my camera and just prayed. Prayed over the family I was about to take photos of, prayed that God would use me to bring some love and light to this family. That He would use me in whatever way He needed and to allow the gifts He's given me to reflect on Him.

And to no surprise as soon as I finished praying, I felt better. I wasn't annoyed, or anxious about the weather. I simply let it go and was able to connect with and capture this beautiful family and tell their story.

I think it's hard sometimes to get out of our own head and our own worries. We live in a society where we need things perfect and fixed immediately. And that's never going to be a reality. But what we can do and stop, be still and pray.

Something so simple but so powerful that can change everything.

Tonights session was so special.
Tonight we celebrated a family being whole. We celebrated love.
Tonight we captured a chapter of this families story in the same location that it all started.

Tonight was good.

Let’s tell your motherhood story 💛
