The February Ebbs and Flows

 

The February Ebbs and Flows

February.  Oh how beautiful it was this year!  It was truly a great month for us!  The sun returned, as well as warmer weather which meant a lot more fresh air and outside refreshment.  We tilled up our wildflower field getting it ready to plant this spring!! I cannot wait to see what comes of it!  The kids are growing like crazy, and Shiloh finally got completely cleared from her neck surgeries!! Hallelujah!  No more doctor appointments concerning that! Thomas is speaking a little,   saying "yeah" "mama" and "dada".  My sweet hubby got my Christmas swing hung on the back porch and I am completely in love and have been using it everyday since! The birds are chirping outside in the mornings and we sit and watch them as they come and go.  The children bang on the windows, yelling at the squirrels in excitement and joy.  February, what a beautiful month you were.  

Feature Through MOPS Magazine! 

I had the opportunity to speak in front of my MOPS group ladies, and the following week had the honor of being published within the MOPS online magazine.  So grateful!! You can check out that link here if you would like:   http://www.hellodearest.org/beauty-in-simplicity/

Also, I tried out Multiple Exposures and a few other techniques for the first time.  I have been stretching myself within my self-portrait series and growing with each bit of knowledge and mistake.  My brand new website was revealed!! (www.lauraduglgebyphotography.com) and what a blessing of love that was!!  I feel the new steps are being paved for this year, the flowers are being watered and I cannot wait to see the blooms that evolve!! Thanks for following along! 

* Be on the lookout for something new I will be getting started with in March, which I am pretty excited about as well the start of my wedding season launching!!

Love Spills Over: Marissa Family Session

A sweet Union for All 

The evening was perfect!  A soft, warm breeze blowing, the sun shining brightly.  It was quite an unexpected gift for February, but one we were so glad to have.  Marissa is one of the kindest people I have met here in Indiana thus far.  It simply pours out of her.   From the moment I met her, there was a still, soft presence about her.  Joy spills over through her words, her infectious smile and the way she speaks about her beloved family.  Saturday evening we explored, on a wonderful adventure with her boys and had the best time.  From sweet treats provided by my wonderful friend Melissa to stick battles, tossing rocks and running free in the fields, beauty enveloped this beautiful family, and I had such the honor as to be there and witness it.  The warmth of the sun was a perfect match for the warmth of this family.  There loves bleeds over for one another.  What a sweet union for all.  

The most beautiful family, with the warmest hearts!!
