Hi friends. Happy September!
I hope you all found peace throughout your photographic journeys this week.
I found peace in Eli. Eli is a very busy fellow. Always walking here and there, checking out what everyone is doing, sometimes playing but mostly making sure everyone in his family is behaving and not having fun without him. As I sat on my couch (A LOT), my camera happened to be handy and I actually captured a few moments of him sitting or playing peacefully.
This is a new toy we just bought for him. He likes it just fine. For about 30 seconds, seven times a day.
And this morning he was reading on the ottoman. Like I said, he’s very busy so stopping to read is tough at his age. (speaking of his age, Eli is seventeen months old. How did this happen? SOMEBODY TELL ME.)
Last Friday, I had a session with this little sweetheart. This was taken in the lot next to my client’s home. Between the perfect sunlight and the Queen Ann’s Lace and ruffly outfit, this photo feels very peaceful to me.
Now, it’s your turn to share! Just please read the following guidelines firsts!

My friend, Tiffany, emailed me a list of potential monthly photo topics. It’s an AWESOME list. If any of you have any ideas for photography topics, feel free to email me or leave suggestions in the comment sections. After all, You Capture is about US, not just me. So, I’d love to hear your ideas, too! Thanks for the list, Tiffany!
I’ve decided to give you your choice between two topics. You can do one or both, your choice:
Summer Sunsets or Back-to-School
Happy Capturing!
Oh WOW Beth- you sure nailed it for Peace!! Beautiful!! I wish I had all those gorgeous flowers in my neighboring lot- all we have is desert landscape. Glad to hear that you are able to do just a little more now. Love those pics of Eli- I have that same ottoman.
Eli looks so adorable reading his books!
Cute pictures of your little guy! They get big so fast. I love it when they sit quietly and read…. ahhh!
First off, before I forget to say it, I LOVE the pillow on your sofa!!
And that pic of Eli reading is just too precious. Such a sweet moment captured.
And yes, the setting of you last photo is amazing as is the little doll in the chair.
as always, gorgeous pics!
He is adorable! Great pictures.
Beautiful Beth! I hope you are feeling good! So glad you are staying busy with photography especially as you wait to meet your new baby!
Eli is absolutely precious. I love that I’ve seen him grow up in the last year. It really is very peaceful to watch your child be happy and content.
How is he 17 months already? That just can’t be! He’s growing up way faster than should be allowed
Your image from the shoot of the little girl in the field is just fantastic — as always. Definitely a great image of peace.
Thanks for the kind words in your post. So glad I could help out and that you enjoyed the list. {{{{Hugs}}}
I love that one where Eli is reading!!! He is so cute!! That must be very interesting book!
I would love to see a You Capture theme of “Anything BUT Flowers!”
That picture of Eli is SO RIDICULOUS I can barely take it!!!! It’s one of the cutest pictures I’ve ever ever ever seen!!!!!
Beth… Honored to join you this week! I am inlove w/ your mad photography skills! Always so much life & love in your shots.
