Softly the evening came with the sunset.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
There are times when I absolutely love my job and this is one of them. To capture quiet moments of childhood, running in the setting sun, jumping for joy, laughing and enjoying a snack, this is what I love to do and I am so blessed to be able to do it.
“A mother’s joy begins when new life is stirring inside… when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.”

With new years come new ideas, plans and expectations. Back in January I plotted out many for myself but sometimes life has other plans. After a much needed break where I spent lots of time curled up with good books, hanging with my family and well, not being very productive, I am ready to tackle those lists and feed my creative soul.
First up is a long delayed post of a few images I took of my son when he turned 8 back in December. This boy is my laughter. Goofy, sweet and sometimes (a lot of times) wild. He is so special to me.
This year one of my goals is to push my self creatively and to take more time to document moments in my own family. Along with my Year of Saturdays, I have joined up with a group of wonderful photographers for a 10 on 10 project. Each month on the 10th we will be sharing 10 photographs that give a glimpse into a day in our lives. This first 10 on 10 for me started with a pink sunrise. I thought that was the perfect start to a glimpse of my daughter♥
I hope you’ll follow the chain to Sarah Costa and see what my group has been up to so far this month.
Holiday minis at Candy Cane Tree farm are just around the corner and I only a couple spots left! Contact me today at brandie@brandiepahl.com to reserve your spot♥
There is nothing that makes me embrace an early morning like gorgeous morning light. I have spent many mornings recently driving the mom taxi and enjoying those cool morning sunrises and decided to take advantage with a little impromptu photo session. Now, I absolutely adore the warm glow of evening light but the cool blues of morning have captured my heart as well.
