Never underestimate the magic of an evening walk.
I’m curious which of these new habits will stick around for years to come. Will more families go on daily walks in their neighborhood? Will more children schedule phone calls with their elderly loved ones? Will more parents want to be a part of their child’s education? Will we all learn to “slow down?” I’m starting to accept the idea that things will never go back to being the same as they were in January. But what will that change look like?
This home session was a neat one. Mallory and Matt had just finished building their first home on Vashon Island. (Not sure how they managed to do this at the same time as having a new baby…) Even cooler, Mallory grew up in a house on this same lot. Years after her family moved, the house caught on fire and was abandoned for 16 years. Mallory and her husband, Matt, decided to build their first home on this lot, and moved in not long before our session. You can follow their blog here: https://dandelionsdrywall.com/
I loved that I got to capture the space at a time like this. I can only imagine the walls will be filled with framed photos, finger paintings, and handwritten notes as their family grows. But for now, just like their new daughter, everything is so fresh- so new! This home has so many sweet memories to come. :)
