A Little Something Personal

I took a moment and did something really important to me.

I took pictures of my own child! Gasp! Yes, I did it. Maybe it's more surprising for you to hear that this is a big deal for me, but it is. Adylyn turned 5 (seriously my first baby girl is 5 and I can hardly believe it!) 4 months ago and I haven't done her 5 year pictures yet! I hear all the time from clients that they put off scheduling pictures and aren't as 'on top of it' as they wish when it comes to portraits. Truth is, I'm right there with them. So this past weekend when I stopped by my parents and saw my Dad pruning his pear blossom tree, I stuck around to see just how much he was going to hack off of that tree. And I got lucky :) He decided the tree was growing in a direction that he wouldn't ever pick fruit from; so he chopped a huge chunk of it down.

 And my brain says 'Jackpot!'

So I wrestled as much of it as I could (with the help of Dad) into my car, and yes it made a HUGE mess. Afterwards we went shopping for a dress and shoes to compliment the trees and convinced my darling girl to come 'play,' And there you have it. I accomplished something important in photographing my eldest daughter.

Remembering the sweetest of our children. Their innocence. This is priceless.
