it has been rather hot and humid here these summer days. i’m sure it is rather hot and humid where you are too. we’ve been trying to get outside during the evenings but after a few minutes, we are ready to come into the a/c. (praise Jesus for air conditioning!) we took these few pictures a week or two ago….we were at a park filled with beautiful wildflowers. i could have stayed at the park with those flowers & read and written in a journal for hours (minus the bees and bugs.) i love being outside, enjoying God’s creation and taking it all in. this weekend we are going to hike in the smokey mountains and i am so excited (for the mountain part…not the hiking part necessarily.) ;)
anywho, i’ve been updating my photography blog so feel free to visit. oh and i must not forget…the winners for the persimmon&pink giveaway are: jenny, kristin, and morgann. congrats! i will be emailing you lovely ladies soon. hope you are having a lovely week….
love,
arielle
i hope you and your family have a lovely time in the smokey mountains, arielle! i love being outside, too. :)
congratulations to the winners of the giveaway!
You have such a gorgeous family! :)
I love your baby’s happy face. I’m sure you can’t get enough of him! I don’t think I’d want to leave those flowers either! So pretty.
Im getting my hair done on Sunday and I am taking your picture withe me:) haha But seriously i love your hair! Its so beautiful on you!
ah that is awesome!! i saw your picture on twitter and blonde looks SO lovely on you! :)
That humidity did nothing to your perfect hair! And your boy is so darn cute.
beautiful photo’s of you and your baby, I can see the love !! I’m off to stalk your photography blog…
He’s getting to be so big!!
lovely images!!!
the first picture to the right absolutely made my heart happy… how precious are these!
OMGOSH! SO ADORABLE! Seriously. I think you have one of the cutest babies I have ever seen =D
thank you natalie! :)
Oh how I wish we had mountains.
Cute pictures :)
Lovely photos for sure! We have had the same weather here. I miss the long lazy days outdoors :) We lived in SE Missouri and used to hike every weekend. I miss it terribly! Have fun!
Such a gorgeous family as usual. =)
It has been crazy hot here! We also try to go out side early morning and at dusk…it is way better than the freezing cold when we can’t really go out at all :)
First of all, I love these photos. The flowers are so pretty and you guys just pop so well in front of them. :) I know what you mean about wanting to be out and not lasting very long… I’ve had a few shoots (and I know you have, too) and it’s been just slightly below unbearable. Whew! But enjoy the Smokey Mountains! That sounds like a great way to spend some time to me! (Hoping the weather’s a bit nicer there than here!) :) And I legitimately had a mini spaz attack at work when I saw my name on your little winner’s list. haha I’m really excited! It will be perfect for redecorating my room! Thanks, lovely!
Glad you are taking some time to care for yourself, your family, and enjoy you summer! have fun in the mountains!!! :)
You are so stinkin gorgeous!
aw look at his smile! he is too precious..isnt your babys smile just lighten up your day ! i love the flowers as a background also.
i love your dress! it hasn’t been too hot here, actually, but i can still appreciate this post! i love spending time outdoors with the ones i love.
These photos are stunning! I love your dress. x
Absolutely beautiful!
My son and I love to be outside and take walks too, but with it being so hot and humid I don’t take him out much. My parents even have a pool but with this weather it just feels like a bath, and its not relaxing at all. I will be so happy when the Fall is here, my favorite season!!
p.s. I loooove your pictures! I admire all your work!!
These are too sweet!
Loved the pictures – as always! :)
