First physio appointment today. After a year of suffering from plantar fasciitis I'm determined to do everything I can to get rid of it and get back to playing soccer by fall. . . . #physio #physiotherapy #kinesiotape #taping #plantarfasciitis #feet #determined #pain #comoxvalley #bodyworx #comoxbc #goals #letsdothis #dog #vancouverisland #dogmomlife #miniaustrailianshepherd #sheltie #puppy

{73/365} Carter had his first soccer game today and it was my first day coaching.

This is what weekends are made of! Carter got a new bigger bike today from my parents and I dusted off my own bike and pumped up the tires. I haven't ridden it in at least 2 years. We hit up the park then the Cumberland bakery for some yummy treats. Such a beautiful day and I'm so happy Carter is now able to ride on his own so I can ride too. This year is going to filled with bike rides! . . . #phonepic #lifeunscripted #lifestyle #reallife #shamoftheperfect #embracingtheeveryday #thedocumentarymovement #childhood #childhoodunplugged #comoxvalleyphotographer #comoxvalley #magicofchildhood #momtographer #momtogs #clickinmoms #boymomlife #boymom #momlife #theshawfamily2017 #happylife #simplelife #bikeride #familytime # bikes #cumberlandbc #cumberlandbakery #motherandchild #selfie #spring #sunnyday

{16/365} "There is beauty in simplicity" . . Just Jackson and I at home today. Nothing special planned but soaking up his beautiful smile, snuggling and watching him destroy the house like a little tornado. Sounds like a great day to me! . . . #lifeunscripted #embracingtheeveryday #thedocumentarymovement #comoxvalley #simplelife #reallife #familyphotojournalism #everyday #comoxvalley #momlife #boymomlife #boymom #momtographer #momtogs #clickinmoms #getintheframe #smile #happylife #unplugged #comoxvalleyphotographer #magicofchildhood #mylove #photooftheday

Ralph got off work early so we brought Jackson out for lunch at the Grotto.

Sitting in the car enjoying the warmth of the sun at goosespit, listening to Metallica while Jackson naps in the back seat. #happyplace #nothingelsematters . . . #phonepic #comoxvalley #comox #vancouverisland #car #mitsubishilancer #sunnyday #winter #westcoastbestcoast #westcoast #pnw #westcoastgirl #goosespit #beach #metallica #thedaythatnevercomes #happylife #simplelife #momlife #sunny

I blew the cobwebs off this little guy today. The 50mm f/1.8 is still a fantastic lens! I'll have to use it more often. . . . #50mm #50mmlens #50mm18 #nikkor #nikon #primelens #momtographer #momtogs #clickinmoms #toglife #photographerlife #amyshawphotographybc #comoxvalleyphotographer #comoxvalley #phonepic #cumberlandbc #playingaround #dustoffthecobwebs #stillawesome #nikond750 #love #naturallight #addictedtophotography

{2/365} & {1/52 - Self portraits} "Let me love you a little more before you're not little anymore" - Unknown Carter is my wild child and like me in so many ways. He has a fiery spirit that can't be tamed. While this can be challenging somedays, I know that this same spirit in myself has helped me tremendously in life and I wouldn't change him for the world. He's always on the go, but once in a while I am able to sneak in a quick snuggle before he's off again. I cherish these brief moments because before I know it he will be too big to snuggle me. . . . #theshawfamily2017 #project365 #365project #photooftheday #happylife #momlife #boymomlife #boymom #momtographer #momtogs #clickinmoms #toglife #snuggles #comoxvalley #comoxvalleyphotographer #motherandchild #blackandwhite #familyphotography #lifeunscripted #reallife #lifestylephotography #lifestyle #kid #kidsofinstagram #magicofchildhood #selfie #familyselfie #love #wildchild #spiritedchild

{1/365} "A day without laughter is a day wasted." - Charlie Chaplin . . . I'm going to be doing my first project 365 this year and also my first project 52 at the same time. I'll post a photo every day and once a week I will post a photo which includes me in some way. Sometimes it might be all of me and sometimes it may be just my hand or foot, etc. but I will be making it a point to make sure I'm in more photos. I will also be taking the photos for the project 52 myself as an extra challenge. #project365 #365project #project #project52 #photographyproject #momlife #boymomlife #boymom #momtographer #momtogs #clickinmoms #toglife #silly #laughing #family #laughter #joy #happylife #familyphotojournalism #reallife #lifeunscripted #lifestyle #thedocumentarymovement #comoxvalley #comoxvalleyphotographer #dadsofinstagram #dadlife #tickle
