Mother's Day.
love it.
My husband and my kids always give me such a wonderful Mother's Day. Each year they ask me what I want and the honest to goodness truth of the matter is this...
I love to go to a quiet place in the woods, preferrably by cool, running water, and have a picnic. Lounge around for the afternoon taking walks, laying on blankets and pillows reading and talking with gorgeousness (is that a word?) everywhere.
I woke up to a delish breakfast of french toast, fresh strawberries (that Gracie was eating), hashbrowns and an all-around-wonderful-gain-5-pounds-in-a-morning-and-love-every-bite-of-it-dining.
That afternoon after church we headed to King's Mountain and hung out together until it was almost dark.
Thank you, my wonderful little family...(actually most people don't think I have a little family...but that's a topic for another day...)
sweet. LIFE.

What a great Mother's Day! Glad it was all you wanted it to be and more. Love the one where your daughter is feeding dad. Her little tongue sticking out is classic! I love capturing those kind of things - smirks, smiles, and all. |love affair workshop|
I'm the oldest of 4 ... and believe me, it IS a small family!!!
L-O-V-E! You have a BEAUTIFUL family! What a wonderful Mother's Day!

Karen, so you think that four kids is a small family...I love it! How many kids are you and Erik thinking about? :)
Jennifer, thank you. I love'em. I'll keep'em.
Thanks, Charlene.
I so love the way you capture the simple moments, because they are the ones we come to realize are the most beautiful, getting past the plans, parties and lipstick and the treasures lie in tiny dirty fingers holding a flower.

Oh my...Davina these are absolutely enchanting!
What a beautiful Mother's Day ... I agree - I love to nest and was fortunate to have both kids home this year!
beautiful pics. Mother's day rocks!
I have three younger brothers and always dreamed that my mother would have more. I fell in love with photography because of them. If it weren't for my first camera, we would have very few photos of them. Your family is beautiful! Your photography is amazing and I so hope that I get the opportunity to learn from you. - Love Affair Workshop
HI Davina, Your mothers day perfect day description was delightful. I love gettting away from the hustle and bustle of reality and escape to simplicity. Thanks for sharing that special day with all the blog readers. I hope to meet you at the LOve affair workshop.
Looks like a perfect Mother's Day. One that I would pick as well. I love that you were able to enjoy photography even on a much needed day off with your family. Love the climbing image. What a sweet family.

Davina,
Love all the precious moments in pictures!!! It sounds like you had a wonderful Mother's Day. You have a wonderful family who knows what a wonderful mother they have. The trip to the mountain looks wonderful and relaxing. Hopefully we can go there sometime when we visit to relax and enjoy nature. Love, Mother
