“Life is not perfect but it has perfect moments”- Unknown

I had the privilege to spend some time with the Kleynhans family. Working with their beautiful images from our lifestyle family session, made me think of all the moments we plan. The time and effort we put into planning our daily routines and lives.

The hard work it is to plan these days, the hard work it is to keep to these schedules. The utter chaos it sometimes creates should one not keep to these demanding time lines. The little time we have left just to be. Just to have a moment…..

I was lucky enough to capture a few moments with this lifestyle family session, as there always seems to be a fair bit of “unplanned” when you have little kids around. You can plan all you want with a two year old in mind. It never, never turns out exactly as you hoped.

“The hallmark of the perfect moment is that it is unplanned. It is unexpected, and it shows up to remind you to quit planning and start savouring.” Whitney English

I have already burdened my planner with places to be and people to see this year but are rethinking a couple of entries just to make space for moments. Moments that I can hold my plans loosely, moments that I might stumble into the perfect moment….
