5 on 5: The One About A Foggy Morning

On Monday morning I was at my Camp Gladiator workout nice and early in the morning. Halfway through the workout, a fog rolled in. It is rarely foggy here in the DFW area so I was itching to photograph in this weather. After I dropped of the 2 older boys at school, Thomas and I made a pit stop at the lake. My camera battery was about to die, but the precious thing hung on for the whole trip and I got some practice in foggy photography. I was hoping the fog would be kind of wispy across the water, but really it was just a thick fog all around. Thomas and I enjoyed our relaxing and quiet hour by the lake as I took photos and he 'fished' with sticks he founded tangled up in old fishing wire.

June Favs | flower mound family photographer

June flew by in a flash of fun! Our family spent time together swimming, going out for ice cream, seeing the new movie Inside Out (super cute!), more swimming, family BBQs, walks by the flooded Lake Grapevine (I am so hoping the water level goes down soon so we can get back to the lake!), at trip to Roanoke and Hey Sugar candy shop, and we wrapped it up with even more swimming! In no particular order, here are some of my favs from our summer adventures in June.

Hiking with a Toddler | child and family photographer, flower mound

When we moved to our house in Flower Mound just under three years ago, I knew I loved our house. Little did I know we couldn't have found a better location for raising three boys. I am not sure how I didn't know this before moving in, but we live just over a mile from Lake Grapevine where we often take the boys to explore at Murrell Park.  Going through our neighborhood we can also access the trail system that runs near the lake. The boys absolutely love going on 'hikes' especially because there is a small creek which is perfect for boys who like to throw rocks into the water. When we walk along these trails, I can hardly believe I am in Texas, let alone the suburb Flower Mound! I really think we were meant to buy a house here. So, today I loaded up Thomas in the jogging stroller, took a quick run, and ended up at the trails. Thomas then led the way as he explored the trails while I tried to do a mini storytelling photo session with my cell phone. These are all unedited photos and I unfortunately do not have an iphone so the photos aren't the best. Nonetheless, I wanted to share how even with a cell phone, you can still document the small things in your life that are meaningful to you. I love these walks with my boys, and it is extra special when I can spend quality time with one boy at a time. So I am thankful to be able to capture these moments and details of what my life with a 2 year old boy is like. I challenge you to find what is unique about your story, your family, your location. Now photograph and document it so your family will be able to revisit that part of your story when they are older.
