Carrots – Bergen County Family Photographer

I have such a great time meeting and getting to know the families I photograph.  I so enjoyed my time with this one – sweet, bright kids who like to sing and talk, and parents who are generous and kind and inspirational.

They reminded me about one important tip to keep kids happy during a photo shoot…and even during an average day.  Feed them healthy snacks often!

 

One of the cool things about being on maternity leave is that I’ve had time to do things I don’t usually have a chance to.  One evening I went to a workshop hosted by this mom, Erica, about healthy meals for busy families.  It was a fun night out for me and I took away several little tips that have made it easier for us to eat closer to the way we should be eating.  I also joined one of her Tuesday morning Walk and Talk sessions.  Jasper and I enjoyed a nice walk and conversation with a few other moms.  Check out Erica’s website for info on her workshops and her work as a personal health coach.  Definitely also like the Nature Girl Wellness Facebook page so you can stay updated on events and see helpful tips and thought-provoking questions.  And now I’m going to stop snacking on Lindt truffles and go make myself a big salad.  🙂
