One of the best parts of being a mom is seeing the world through their eyes.
Being a kid again.
Being free and happy and content.
Making a game out of running through a field of flowers.
And laughing and laughing and laughing.
Love them.
Now go take a look at the talented Marla Misclevitz of Simply Splendid Images in Portland, Oregon.

gorgeous setting of wildflowers & soft rolling hills; i’m drawn to images 1 & 2 for the contrast of experience & feeling.
Fun photos, thanks to Athena for sharing the link, you ladies have me thinking of flowers!
That is the most awesome field of flowers ever and your photos are gorgeous! I’m finding myself envious of people who post pictures in fields of beautiful flowers. We have grass. =) Anyway, love your post this week Sarah!
completely gorgeous sarah…your work lately just leaves me speechless. wonderful. and i too, love the landscapes you find surrounding you. this couldn’t be more picturesque.
Beautiful Sarah!
Such beautiful photos – the light and flowers are amazing!
Gorgous! The setting, the colors, the kids! So pretty!
What a beautiful field! I love how you shot down low, the bokeh you captured in the foreground and background is beautiful! great job!
I need that field and not the bars and auto body places by my house! As always you inspire me. Love your work and your color this week.
What a beautiful field of flowers. The light is wonderful!
Home is really more of a feeling than a place.
It is where your heart lies…where you belong.
Cuddled up together, nothing better.
Home.

i love these. all of them…but the first shot is particularly wonderful 
Just beautiful Sarah! Love the journalistic feel to them all.
The feet are my fav!
What a fun family. They were not only open to my antics, they had fun doing it. And Mason was a dream. So sweet and easy going. We met at the park, took a walk, played ‘Pooh Sticks’ (like in Winnie the Pooh!) and had a ball. At the end, we even got the family dogs in there. And I think he smiled at me…

“Are wild strawberries really wild? Will they scratch an adult, will they snap at a child? Should you pet them, or let them run free where they roam? Could they ever relax in a steam-heated home? Can they be trained to not growl at the guests? Will a litterbox work or would they make a mess? Can we make them a Cowberry, herding the cows, or maybe a Muleberry pulling the plows, or maybe a Huntberry chasing the grouse, or maybe a Watchberry guarding the house, and though they may curl up at your feet oh so sweetly can you ever feel that you trust them completely? Or should we make a pet out of something less scary, like the Domestic Prune or the Imported Cherry, Anyhow, you’ve been warned and I will not be blamed if your Wild Strawberries cannot be tamed.”

EEK! SARAH! That first photo is to die for!!! Seriously lady, that is a stunning, perfectly captured photo. The rest are fantastic, but the first one made my jaw drop. Gorgeous.
Ditto on Marla’s comment!! It feels as though they are jumping out of the screen!! Gorgeous as usual!!!
Only one word for these images…delicious!
Beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post as well. Love the bright colors and fun you captured with strawberries.
Look at you, Sarah, again this week with those soft tones and perfectly shallow DoF! I’m in love!

Your photos have me salivating over here! Those strawberries look so red, juicy and delicious! What fantastic captures…and adorable expressions of your lil boy!
Love, Love these!
These are the memories he will take with him. Freedom. Nature under his feet and the wind in his hair.
We are lucky to be surrounded by beauty. Our own private sanctuary, right there on the hill out our door.
